Walt, I think my K4 was once yours, via Dan Liebowitz and briefly Sam DiMaggio. Sam performed some tuning on it before I bought it from him. It's a great runner Walt, didn't know it also came with the defoliation feature!
I'm glad I asked, because I think I've had it backwards. I've been trying to use the cab fuel control... I can see that there's danger of blowing the hoses if the cab valve is too tightly restricted while the tender valve is opened up. I'll watch for that... I'll try Walt's idea of putting a cheater bar on it so that finer settings can be had. With our climate I haven't found the need to work with warm/heated tender water but maybe I'll try that. The filler valve doesn't appear to be a venting type... I've been filling it by listening for liquid at the jet with a just-slightly cracked valve. Any tips on filling? It seemed to be venting when I first tried to fill it... but I think it was just blow back, etc. and I convinced myself it was non-venting and thus went the cracked-valve route. (A skill perfected on an old Wrightscale Porter...) Any info on fueling is also appreciated. Thanks for the help! -Richard -- ================================================== Richard Finlayson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
