Murphys Law when you're out'n about. I would have put the billy on for a cuppa as well while I waited. At least it wasn't cold enough to need the cabin heater. My L series subaru did it one night and -3C, just a quick fix to get home using a vice grip as a clamp with some wire did the trick, luckily. You had a great spot to do some repairs though.

was pretty lucky mate, I had snow that night on a night drive, so that would have been interesting, The old clamp trick works a treat mate. 👍👍

Hey mate, a little trick with a flooded saw is put the saw on the ground, no choke, hold the throttle wide open and you can also take the air filter cover off and keep pulling it over reasonably quick and it’ll splutter into life then a few good revs and it’ll be good to go again, just found your channel and enjoying your videos

@Bush-Tv 10 месяцев назад

G'day Adam, Welcome to the channel, Thanks for the tip mate. The old saw I used to have flooded all the time so I used to do exactly what you said 👍that time was funny, as I put it down to get out the tools the couple just over from me seen what happened and walked over with there saw 😂 They introduced themselves and ended up being Subscribers. Great couple 👍 Glad you're enjoying the content mate and thanks for taking the time to comment 👍

@DailyGrindAus Год назад

I used to have an 80 series in the early 2000's and I had problems a little similar. It turned out to be the heater core being blocked which created the back pressure that blew the hose that runs under the dash. I had a wierd smell a bit like McDonalds pancakes in the cab for a couple of weeks. But check the heater core to see if it is clogging - it's connected to the overall cooling system and crap can block it.

@Bush-Tv Год назад

Touch wood it's not that that's blocked mate. Those hoses were well overdue to be replaced

@louiskudlak2256 Год назад

One of those trips when the gremlins come out, good to fix it yourself and not stop your trip, pretty steep track, bit of puckering going on 😅😅 have you got a sat phone for if you get lost/hurt on your solo adventures 😊

@Bush-Tv Год назад

G'day mate, The first section of Basalt Knob is Apparently one of the gnarliest in the VHC (obviously in different conditions) I would disagree saying Ortons tk, Mt Sunday Tk are up there👍 The puckering started when the temp rise happened. I have a PLB on me all the time.👍you just never know what could happen out there

@Stevenk770 Год назад

Nice video, shame about the issues, A while ago I removed that whole metal pipe and rubber pipe from the block and just ran a rubber heater hose to the t junction and I haven’t had any issues since, also I recently saw the heater tap looking suss and I ordered a replacement, upon removing it snapped like yours so I was lucky I changed it when I did. The factory dash gauge isn’t the best and sometimes it’s too late when it’s showing it’s too hot.

@Bush-Tv Год назад

G'day Steve, Did you just run the rubber all the way down or block it off. Cheers.

@Stevenk770 Год назад

@@Bush-Tv yes sorry I did just run rubber heater hose from the block to the top where the t junction is, so if it fails again you can just replace a hose and you have less connections to fail. From Memory I replaced all the heater hoses and used brass connectors, I think I moved the t junction further away from the heater tap towards the left so that the hose doesn’t have to bend back in towards the right near the heater tap but I made sure it’s not rubbing on anything and also the t junction is easier to get too as not right in the top if you know what I mean. My gas converter is mounted on the left mud guard so the hose run is longer than yours as yours is mounted to the motor.

@Bush-Tv Год назад

@@Stevenk770 Yeah sounds like what I should be doing mate. I've been looking into doing a bypass on that pesky hose. They mounted the vaporiser on the manifold so that's a bit tight with some hoses. Thanks for getting back to me mate 👍 really appreciate it

@frozenragu Год назад

The steep section above where you did the first fix, few years back that was in bad condition, I had to take the left option. Was very relieved to make it down there, very close to putting the old girl on her side. Depending on conditions that lower section of basalt knob south can be one of the gnarliest in the HC. Not for new players. 2nd spot, what a background to your bush mechanics. Maybe invest in a coolant temp gauge with alarm for the old girl, the factory ones spike suddenly and it's almost too late

@Bush-Tv Год назад

Same for me mate. We went up there back in 2006 and was really cut up. Funny you say about the temp alarm, I've looked at those and will get one 👍

@guitarplayerlp7018 Год назад

great video mate. with that hose, you may want to check the heater tap if its the original. they get brittle with age and can break at the most inconvenient times. Mine did about 6 years ago up near Bright. EDIT : and now im at the 24 min mark and bugga!

@Bush-Tv Год назад

Yeah sure was that mate. I got another one sitting here looking at me, Now just have to get off my but and change it 👍

Awesome flick this time round mate! Always love to see you've posted up another adventure of yours; gets me excited for my next outing out in the bush! I hate the thought of wild cats out in the sticks, they just wreak soo much havoc on our native wild life and a lot of the time they kill just for satisfying their prey drive instinct, usually they're not even hungry; they definitely do not belong out there... Well done mate nonetheless !
