Awesome answer
Thank you

 

Just splines

 

Oh jeez even worse. That's nuts. It also seen nuts to me in one of those videos of that crazy old funny dude that can fix anything and everything, he opened up a Honda GCX or whatever that model number is and it had a couple pieces made of nylon that I wouldn't have expected. Granted I trust when Honda throws a plastic part into the mix, it just still makes me long for yesterdays

I haven't watched it yet, I'll let it play in the background at work today. I love all of uncle bumblefucks videos! I've been watching him since he started making videos at the very beginning of YouTube, back when his channel was called "boltr"


I agree about the plastic parts but I trust quality equipment. another perfect example, I hated when stihl went from the cast magnesium bodies on the commercial line and went with a composite plastic ... up until I got to see the stress test charts when I toured the factory. It outperformed the magnesium in every test and still oz(s) lighter



Fun side fact, 54% of all Stihl equipment sold worldwide is made in Virginia Beach. Absolutely gorgeous automated facility that employes a very high percentage of veterans. They extrude their own trimmer line there as well

 

It's not uncommon

 

What no shiz?? Stihl in Va Beach?? My mom is really wanting me to move back to ocean view/Norfolk and I'd LOVE to check that factory out if I do
I love stihl stuff, its just lame that all the yuppies even have it now. Great for stihl's business of course. My pops has the modular stuff and it's dang cool and efficient. Kinda like having the Milwaukee of small engine stuff.

 

@Black DOG Lila
This video was a good visual of what's going on with those decompression cam lobe/nub thing. So simple but freaking ingenious.

Da fuck you pushing dents out for on a crawler??

 

Thanks man
I have one exhaust rocker that may have a worn "bump thingie"
The other exhaust rocker has two clearances within 1 - 1 1/2 degrees of TDC.
Makes it a real bugger to crank unless both clearances are just right.
18 year old commercial grade V twin 21 hp.

 

To make room for new ones?

 

Its clearenceing for the rocks. Leaving the dent there means another rock wont hit that part. It's like clearenceing the fender well for bigger tires, but on the outside!

 

Can you stop existing, it annoys me

 

Ha. Thats odd they have a surfboard on there. I almost went to the fire academy years ago but that ship has sailed hahah. Is that if they need to rescue someone in a pond lol

 

'Second gen taco floor mats in first gen taco' mod. I know I know, prolly to hardcore parkour for LT thread

just a little fix

 

Don't say anything..... But I also removed both of two huge tags sewn into the mat that say 'DO NOT REMOVE TAGS' and the other 'INSTALL WITH PROPER HOOK ONLY' or something like that.
Fit well enough for free.99
I also picked up a 'dead' OEM Panasonic made in Japan battery from that same 2015 Taco. I'm shocked a 5 yr old Panasonic battery could be dead, so i'mma try and bring it back to life, if that even possible. This battery did survive the accident that gave this taco a salvage title so I guess that accident could've jacked with its durability. I just want an extra battery around garage good enough for testing 12V crap
