I just came across your thread as I was looking for threads with a couple of issues I'm having with my 2182 (wiring and not starting). I read your entire thread and was so impressed and inspired by your hard work, dedication and passion. in my opinion your 2182 is the best, badass and beautiful SGT on the planet. Your post has hit my inspiration button into overdrive to do something with my machine. After it gets the immediate wiring issues taken care! lol. Anyway I just wanted to say thank you for sharing with us, helping us and inspiring us. You should be very proud
