The only hybrid I'd own right there son! Anywards wish fellers around here didnt think their junk was worth more than Nikki Minaj's butt implants cause then I'd probably have some parts and some projects to keep me busy. Saw this today, thought it was outrageous. Doesn't even come with the rear end just the body, frame and wheels.

Yeah no engine. My buddy has a craftsman gt5000 that ran low on oil and the engine is locked up. It's a Kohler vtwin but I cant remember the horse power. But I might get it for parts since it's got 5 lug rims and a fairly decent tires on it. Has a hydrostatic trans but I ain't really interested in that but I would like to get the deck since it's real wide so it would make a good finish mower.

Well for those of you that don't know @mr.modified intends on buying Mud Rat. We had a tentative pickup date scheduled but due to Covid-19 I'm going to have to hold it for him for a while.

Red truck drives but it runs like poop. It’s running real rich and I can’t figure out exactly why. I don’t think there’s any codes stored at this point

I've been using this webapp thing recently, it sure is buggy. I suppose it's more convenient than using chrome though.
Maybe...wish it did tabs.

O2 sensor?

It was always a 350, but was swapped to a stick before I got it.
I thought briefly about an O2, but that trips a code in my other OBD1 1500 with a tbi. So right now my thoughts are fuel pressure regulator or map sensor. I’ve already replaced coolant temp sensor and plug wires. Replaced the plugs when I did the head gaskets. Seems to run ok cold but once it warms up it gets worse like the fuel trim isn’t adjusting correctly. The O2 sensor may be it. It’s just a single wire sensor (non heated). Also has shorty headers and I did put the Y pipe back on with a section of pipe that brings it almost to the back of the cab.
OBD1 systems, To test the individual sensors you need a multimeter, digital is best but a sweep gauge one works ok. O2 sensor runs between 0 to 1 volt and .5 volts being ideal (I think, been a while). Could be MAP sensor, make sure it's getting vacuum, 3 wires on plug I think, one power, one ground, and one censing wire. Forgot how to test it, just You Tube it, LOL. TBI runs around 15 psi I think for when you test the fuel pressure, It's not high fuel pressure like on a Tuned Port Injection.
Yah, OBD1 is super easy to diagnose, most of the sensors you can test individually on the vehicle while running with a multimeter. The bad thing about OBD1 is the sensor could be bad and giving a false reading but will not send a trouble code. For example O2 sensor would be sending a .2 voltage reading to computer constantly which is a bad O2 sensor but the computer see's it as being good because it is working within the parameters of a good O2 sensor. That is the stuff you are looking for. Plus, OBD1 has no ignition sensors and no fuel pressure sensors. Meaning that if no check engine light is on and running bad, you need to check these 2 systems separate from engine management. The fuel injection system always assumes that the engine is getting fuel pressure and ignition spark and only controls how it is delivered, in other word.
It's a different way of thinking when fixing OBD1 compared to OBD2. More simpler and the computer assumes things are working right for it to run the engine right.

Yeah fuel pressure should be between 9-13 pounds. I think it’s a touch high since it’s rich. It’s also possible the coil is getting weak. It looks old, and it sat for 8 years before I got it

I was out on the golf cart tonight and noticed the mud pit was completely dry. I was quite confused. So I drove in in amazement, and as soon as I slowed down a bit, boom. It wasn't so dry anymore. She just sunk right on in. Luckily I barely made it out. Just keep going back forth trying to push a little further each time. Finally got out. Made one heck of a rut/hole though.

I forget, did I ever show ya'll the new shop? I got it last August or so. I've got a few projects you can see in the back...all need work. I may get to them now that I'm under house arrest because some moron in China ate a bat...and now my anxiety and everything has me OUT OF MY FREAKING MIND.
