Seized up??

[DJames]

Please you got to be patient with us as some of us like myself run our own shops so we not just sitting by computer 24/7. IL like myself is probably snow bound at the moment. At least the roads here have cleared but I got watch out for the black ice in the morning as I go out for food and it will below 20F so I don't want get into a wreck.

You just got know where to look once you have the correct info. It like I have a Chevy but without the model and year. Even then in the glovebox is a detail options list of code numbers for 2000 model. Many of us have spent years looking up parts but even we need the basic info to work from.

And most online parts lookup you drop the "S" from CV18S-61533 so you look up CV18-61533.

I’m sorry u took that personal, wasn’t aimed at all you fine folks who deal in these matters, I was referring to trying to find some online site thru my browser, you never get what your looking for, it drives you crazy. Thank you for getting back to me & im sure I’ll find something to work with sooner or later. Hope you get thru all this weather mess, my problems are minimal compared to everyone else. It’ll get better

OK the 2825916331 serial number comes back to a CV18S-61533

The inconvenience of some and ice is nothing compared to those that lost everything in the hurricane and now the LA fires.
I got a fellow that is in the middle the fires. 7 miles West of one but the bigger one and it moving East. Sure hope it misses him or at least get out safely.

All these fires were set deliberately, the pacific palisades were destined to be 15 min cities so the deep state could imprison us with the approval of the present administration..You’ll find out soon enough.

This thread is going into too much politics and should be closed. The Grinch.

Like it or not it involves you, us, everyone. Do what you feel is necessary

remove the clutch, or at least the bracket that holds it from rotating and see if it moves a little bit, like mentioned, watch out for the wires attached to the clutch coil. This will tell you if it is the motor or the clutch. sometimes when the clutch locks up and the motor stops fast, it can damage the flywheel and destroy the key/keyway which will keep it from starting once you get it free'd up.

Stop trying to make this political. Polities has no business being involved during things like this. What if your home was destroyed by a tornado or hurricane would you still be saying someone intentionally did it?

BTW if you know these were set deliberately, you must be the one that deliberately set them. So maybe they need to be tracking your butt down.

Look fires do not have to be set intentionally. 50+ mph winds can and do create problems from a single spark sometimes. During extreme dry windy conditions all it takes is someone tossing a light cigarette, an arc from power lines slapping each other, a glass bottle acting like a magnifying glass, someone cutting a field where the equipment blade strikes a rock, etc. All unintentional but just a bad as if someone was intentional starting a fire. In this case so far you can rule out lightning strikes as no storms were in the area, just the strong wind event.

Even in North Alabama we had road side fires started by cigarettes fanned by passing vehicles during the dry fall weather. And yes sometimes we have fire bugs setting them too. I personally got a couple caught by taking down the license plate number and describing how they were setting the fires. A forester on patrol finally caught them red handed per say a week later.

I also seen power lines slapping each in high winds in my area. This was the source of many of my power outages. Once I discover the area I called my electric company engineering person and with my help we got the problem resolved by adding an pole in the high wind area of the lines.

We have to let the investigators do their job before saying it was intentional started. They have pinpoint the area of the initial fire now it is on hands and knees searching the area. These guys are good at their job but it still takes time.

They also got to make some changes to the building codes that will make the homes and businesses more fire resistant. Can't have open attics that invite embers in. It is using real wire screens over these openings.

Thank you Jim, I’ll do just that.. I appreciate it very much
