Post Whoring - 5.5.1 - We have a turd in the punch bowl

Re: Post Whoring Thread 3.0 - Bill loves you long time

It was the rotor, the spark found a weak spot in the cheap rotor and that was the easiest path to ground. Not even a sputter with that on there.

Just get Shipyard Watermelon. Opa Opa makes a good watermelon but only tastes good when you drink it while eating for some reason.

It's gonna be tough to put in the pass side axle through that blob of tape.
 
Re: Post Whoring Thread 3.0 - Bill loves you long time

Fixed the lawn mower, it would stall when shook around or went over bumps. Got pissed and ripped the carb off and found this. Cleaned everything really good threw it back together and it hasn't stalled yet.

Re: Post Whoring Thread 3.0 - Bill loves you long time

I just rebuilt a carb on a mower this past weekend. Working on bend a shaft on another lawn mower now.
 


Re: Post Whoring Thread 3.0 - Bill loves you long time

Did somebody say carb and also distributor? Thats like hearing a conversation in a foreign language, then a few words of english pop up. Ha.
 
Re: Post Whoring Thread 3.0 - Bill loves you long time

It's basically the other way around now with the younger people. My college fuels classes were likely the last to talk about carburetors as it has been phased out by the course already, but my instructor spent 2 classes on it anyway.
We did distributors too which I was glad since they were used longer than carbs
 
Re: Post Whoring Thread 3.0 - Bill loves you long time

Oh my that droptop is IDJ porn lol. Guys who know carbs can get paid more for it now! Guess what, carbs will be around as long as internal combustion is in play, which is a spell yet.

Blue, did you see the rodeo-style jeep guys in that vid clip? If my buddies were that um adventurous I'd have to slam brakes just once or find a low branch.
 
Re: Post Whoring Thread 3.0 - Bill loves you long time

Haha yeah I saw that, and I bet you would. You don't see that stuff around here. You might maybe see guys in the back of a pickup once in a great while before the cops do something about it
 


Re: Post Whoring Thread 3.0 - Bill loves you long time

Yep I doubt they went far. Every once in awhile, folks here just feel the need to validate the rest of the nation's opinion of Arkansas.

BTW I'm beginning to wonder if "a watched pot never boils" applies to dash cams. Nobody has run into me since I got one. Interesting...
 
Re: Post Whoring Thread 3.0 - Bill loves you long time

Junk you might find this funny, I've never opened any sort of carb before so when I pulled the bowl off and saw the float flapping around I had to ask my grandpa "is that supposed to do that?" Haha, didn't take me long tho to figure out how it all worked, pretty neat tho. I imagine the concept is the same just on a bigger scale with some alterations for a car?
 
Re: Post Whoring Thread 3.0 - Bill loves you long time

I had to pull the carb off my push mower a few weeks back because of stalling issues too. Turned out the pickup was blocked by a little piece of plastic that had broken off the gas cap awhile back. Ran great since then. If it didn't run right after that it was going to be set on fire.q
