I think they are adjustable. It should release just before the clutch starts to engage.

It's too bad it's rusted out, I would love to have one of those little cars. Right now I'm driving my F-250 diesel, and the cost of fuel for it is killing me....$3.80 per gallon....ouch!!! I guess I'll just have to keep looking.

This looks like the same car, and for only $2500... http://nh.craigslist.org/car/565225113.html

Looking for some simple welding advice.

You should look into using metal adheasive and simply glue the pathes/panels into place. Fusor and Durimix are two brands that come to mind. Then use a metal conditioner to treat any bare metal, DX520 is made by PPG and works well, then use an epoxy primer, PPG's DPLF epoxy works good and it can set for up to 7 days before painting or top-coating. After that you will need to scuff it for top-coat adheasion. Also you should wear gloves when handleing bare metal so the oils and sweat on your skin don't start to rust the metal. Any bare metal should be treated and primed as soon as possible so it doesn't start to rust from the moisture in that's in the air. You also need to sandblast any rust on panels or parts, just grinding it off doesn't get the rust out of the pits. -

It seems to me that criminals are often too protected. I've heard that if you leave your keys in your vehicle and it gets stolen, your insurance company won't cover any damages and you are responseable for whatever damages are caused by the thief. I'm not sure if that applies to just the state I live in or all of them. I hope they catch whoever is messing with your car. -
There's a wire that plugs into the back of the alternator. I would check that first.

I've been through the whole rust repair hassle and welded a boat-load of patches in. For anyone doing this I recommend buying metal adhesive and glueing most body panels in....I wish I had done this.

Oh-boy... I don't think I could handle that job...I'd go nuts. On a more serious note, you mentioned an irrigation pump. Do you have a farm or large garden, or just a big @#* water leak in your basement? And as for the generator, how many watts do you need it to produce? My dad owns a small dairy farm and has a 15000 watt...I think... generator for backup. It runs off his tractors pto which puts out about 40hp. -
