I have a few blanks that didn't make it through the stringent QC lady. They would be perfectly usable, but not perfect. I could most likely find the original file and fixture, but don't want to let the form tool go. I'm using it on an airplane I'm building.

When I took over the care of the G5, it had a fairly new Surflex clutch. After replacing the clutch, flywheel, transmission input gear, it was as good as new. -

Sure, it's possible. You wouldn't want to pay for it, though. -

I wondered if anyone was going to bring up the Shay.. -

A bad ground kills them..failing memory says something about reference voltage. -
As nearly as I can cipher, Donnie Two Dolls Barbies will cost $50. Each.

airplane that's noisy and smells bad.

I've used them for..uh..since the 90s. Not always the cheapest, but better than average quality..and they have it.

It's a fairly well known story, but Ryan makes it interesting.

Yeah, I've followed Tommy for years. Here's apparently an unrehearsed duet. They play off each other effortlessly...

One of the best flat and finger pickers I've ever heard. Grew up playing bluegrass, but can play and sing anything. Here, he's covering Dylan, the only person I've heard that gives the same feel.. Don't know how to imbed. Well I see it did it automatically.

Yeah, they are pretty rough all right. Just a heads up if anyone hasn't noticed that they wear away on the back side. I made up a stainless "shoe" that fit over the Mighty Scura's foot and epoxied it on.

Steering head bearings too tight? Steering damper? IMWTK.

Cable. Entirely different (better) clutch than the big block.

Maybe a cable of some sort poked in the tubing to clear it?

From (failing) memory, if the knob is on the left it is LH thread.. on the right is RH.

I still haven't had my second cup of coffee and definitely haven't looked at the schematic yet, but why isn't it the ignition switch?

Nephew Ricky had one of those mondo expensive CVA (I think) special built baggers, and it had the wobble. The dealer couldn't get rid of it, and Ricky couldn't sell it without taking a *serious* bath.
-
Yes they can. I followed a guy with his girl on a bagger through The Snake on Mulholland drive. He was throwing sparks on every corner, and she was beating him on the back with both fists..
-
Yeah, Dave Blue is one of the good guys..

Who are you calling old, you young whippersnapper? All my tools and measuring instruments are 'Merican. None of that sissy metric stuff. My LeBlonde lathe won't even cut those threads.

It sounds like the selector spring. @Scud on this list has them.

Just watch the video; you should like it.

I used to work on a friend's Countach occasionally. It's electrical system was Guzzi familiar. Talk about a vehicle that screamed "I'm a machine.." Glorious sounds.. You couldn't drive it anywhere, though. As soon as you started it up, there would be a cop following you. -
EV/battery powered transportation trends
Chuck replied to fotoguzzi's topic in Special place for banter and conversation
EV batteries *are* recyclable.. there is money in it. I watched a video of a big recycling plant, and they get about all of it. Battery EVs aren't perfect, of course.. but they are a good stop gap until hydrogen (most likely) is perfected. At the very least, they cut fossil fuel usage, and we really need to do that..
