Hey,

Figured that during this time the mods will allow me a Friday topic Thursday.

Three of us at work, our welder at home. The shipping dept ( one guy) isolated in mezzanine. Owner and general do everything guy moved his computer up to another office from the one he shared with me. I go into work at 5pm, the two others leave after Decon a half hour before.

I work alone during evening .

So I have the days free at home on the farm. My son and his partner are bugging out from Montreal while they have the chance. They will be quarantined in a tiny house that’s on the farm. Yes, one of those tiny houses.

And I had success today fixing another car. I bought a merc 190e 2.6 a year ago and it came with a really bad cold start problem. Crank and crank and after a few repeated attempts it would start roughly and finally smooth out.

Classic, as I understand, overload protection relay fault. I installed a new one and no improvement.
Thing is, the location of the relay is awkward and was never quite sure of relay seating right. So finally,  today I pulled battery and the computer to get the relay base visible. Yup, it was free floating. Got it back up and installed the relay and car starts like it should!

The more I work on this car the more I like my van. Every thing that can be made more complicated is made more complicated. The interior air vents a great example.

Hope all of you are making the best of this situation. 

Alistair
