That's sick!

I got to look through my buddy's Dobsonian light bucket. Once in a lifetime. You can't see by the pictures (phone camera through telescope viewer), but I could see a spot on the sun, and the mountains outlined on the moon. (very tiny, but I could make out the surface texture).

I found it. Yes the threads had been compromised. I remember my thigh hurt pretty bad for a couple of days. I was top bar on an oak log. It punched the handle back into my leg.

I had my 446 pinch at wot and kick back pretty hard. Same symptom. Did the same cleaning with no change. Pulled it all apart and found the lead screw was slightly bent. No fix. I think it was dragging the threads.

I thought these were hilarious. I could definitely use them.

The dude radical! He has a turbo moped engine.

I concur with @drf256 and @Canadian farm boy ,@huskihl . My 446 is a screamer. It's my favorite saw right now. I used a new oem kolben Schmidt top end to build mine. HEMI head. I have a d jug to try, courtesy of @drf256 . But I guarantee you'd be pleased with how my HEMI runs. Oem or meteor is...

I remember hearing there was a class I could race these in.

Indeed. And another... I figure one day I might play with building an unlimited?

Easy to please.

Took 4 pulls to find the solution to the corners folding. Excess material in the sheet needed to be formed around, so I added some dunnage. But, plaster ant get it done. Stuff never dries so it steams off and bubbles the plastic. Not to mention each removal scars up the buck. So I DO NOT...
