I used to run those brush blades that look like a plywood blade. Found some saw tooth setting "pliers" and I'd go around the blade and give the teeth a little bit of angle, to get a slightly wider kerf than the blade body. Makes the blade not drag near as much. Use a round file to sharpen...

Is the linkbux crowd back in town or something? All kidding aside, some of you guys seem like your browser/device is infected. Gets back to the nothing is free issue. I highly recommenced reading the fine print in that little box, before clicking on install. They usually make it small so that...

Just for giggles, grab a sharpie and mark where the side electrode/strap is before installing them.

Perhaps some REO Speedwagon, "time for me to fly" The 5th Dimension "up up and away"

A rule of thumb for carbs I didn't have a diagram for? look at your diaphragms for the tabs/flaps and I'd go with the flaps touching the flat machined surface. The carb body here. The gasket against the die cast cover that has the raised ridge line around the face. Watch for any holes being...

The Stop sign location kind of set up a nice composition. The U-haul trucks peeking from behind the pole and tree, gives it a whimsical juxtaposition.

Got to watch out for the oxide regions. That stuff doesn't care what sort of tooling you have. I was in an electric motor re-baring shop for a short while.

I'll wager on it meaning the carburetors. The rotary ones seem dedicated to hiding any adjustments there might be. I wonder if, After through cleaning, you could roll the barrel in crazy glue and get a little bit of improvement in the gap? Some of you go-kart crowd folks may remember guys...

Yeah. I've got the half dozen small banners at the top of page. They aren't jumping or flipping/changing, So they get left alone. Those sticky floaters that move down a page as you scroll, get hit with the blocker if I plan to visit that site again. Love the ones that are just puff pieces...

Gotta starch & pre-form the filter shape somehow.

edit: forgot to say thanks to the everyone who keeps this place operational! Whenever things get too bad with my stuff? I'm guilty of pulling the thumb drive that boots this and just wiping it and going for a fresh install sometimes. Sometimes a web page can drop something on your device that...

Take gawk at the exhaust on those longtail boats even the two cylinder ones would have them. About 2:20 we get a fairly good view of the motor and exhaust Couldn't find many of the older vids now, but the two cylinders ones were just scary fast. 2:10 in this vid

I'm glad to see people have some input. No matter when they find a thread. Never know who of us may find it later when we need that info. Personally, I like for threads to say used when the info is about the same topic.

My favorite site F-up is when they drop the grayed out overlay that blocks the screen. As soon as you land on the site and they want yo to answer a survey about how nice their site is. Well you just threw a ham-handed script on me and so I haven't been able to look at anything else on your site...

I've seen compressors the size of a steam engine run with that sort of unloader setup. Considering the company, (they re-furbished old machinery too) those may well have been conversions from steam engines. They utilized the plumbing over several buildings it fed, to do the surge smoothing.
