Open Forum / Freaky sunday
« on: July 21, 2013, 05:05:40 PM »
I remember being in my shop once (two story cement block building) and watching the top of the wall sway back and forth about a 1/3 of a meter (12 inches or so) during an earth quake. :-X

Since the bike was a basket case, did the previous owner have this problem? As well, is the shift drum aluminum?

X2. Check your stator side crank seal and cylinder base gasket for leakage to be safe.

I remember as a teenager my 7 speed 250 Hercules pulling 150 kmh down fire roads.

When I go fishing I'll take the ATV, throw the pug on the gas tank and off I go. At exactly 28 kmh her ears stand straight up. ;D

Non-Moto / Electric bike wins pikes peak event. Whhhuuuuttt???

When Dr. Diesel invented the engine that carries his name he envisioned a stationary engine primarily used by farmers. The farmers would grow the plants that provided the vegetable oil that would power the diesel engine. At about this time the gasoline engine was becoming popular and, one of the by products of gasoline refining is petroleum diesel, so this became the main fuel for diesel engines.

I take deep fryer fat (used vegetable oil) given to me by local restaurants, filter the stuff and add additives, mix it half and half with pump diesel (B50) and pour into my vehicles. It's fun and though it may sound like a lot of work there are some real savings to be had. And so, we've come full circle, Dr. Diesel's engine is once again running on the fuel it was designed for. Bio Diesel is also ,in theory, carbon neutral.

I can never figure out how my geese are able to wander about with bare feet when it is - 25C outside.

On the subject of electric vehicles in my area electric scooters are VERY popular and I'm starting to see the odd Chevy Volt.

Stu I live in south central British Columbia, Canada.

It gets windy in my neck of the woods not to mention temperature extremes of 38C in the Summer down to - 38C in the Winter. Nothing like dragging out the well pump when it's - 25C (and snowing) with the ATV chained to a tree and using the ATV winch. :-X
I did notice during that joyous event that, at the ambient temp. the pump felt hot. Geothermal heat pump anyone? In the next few weeks I'll be hiring a local excavator to do the ground work for my installation.

In my area diesel prices vary over the course of a year by about 5 %. Gas prices are much more volatile, with a price spread approaching 40 % and being higher than diesel about half the time. Prices in my area always rise magically during long weekends. It's very satisfying to be able to make biodiesel and be somewhat immune to all the price gouging.

I always grease the surface where the filter contacts the airbox. If something isn't seating correctly you'll see it right away on the contact surface.

Should be at least 150 PSI. Below 120 PSI motor will start to run lousy.
