There’s the problem. I tried to mount so 100 % of the pads were on the caliper. I guess it slipped or I didn’t have the clearance I thought I did. The post it floats on seems toast, along with the spring.

First Whiskey Throttle... First broken throttle cable. Non-Soldered cable end slipped off when I wheelied to high and didn’t let go.

Need my little screw driver.

I expect but don’t prepare for these things.

Now I think I broke it.

Fixed the throttle. Added the dry flow prefilter. Still waiting on the brake. Should be here tomorrow and installed by Friday.

Tried to start it. Didn’t start. Compression felt normal the first few pulls, but as I continued to try to start it compression felt weaker. Like to the point where I could barely feel the Compression stroke.

Was going to check for spark, but didn’t have the right socket with me.. I think it is a compression issue anyway. I’ll check the valve train at a later date. Too broken hearted to continue today.

I ever mention how much I hate this hobby.

Can I uh, trouble you for the cooking directions? :p

Hmmm... a progressive loss of compression...I wonder what could be the cause. Makes me think you might be losing your head gasket seal.

Part of the fun lies in the diagnosis or the Dx. The hobby has highs and lows, frustrations and triumphs.

Oh, and trikes are ghey. :p

Less wheels means cheaper and more fun!!! Sometimes I need to get slapped back to reality. Thank you! Lol

I no longer have a crockpot so I was limited to the stovetop version.

Brown some 80/20 or 85/15 in a stew pot with oil.
After it’s about 70% browned I add the onions, garlic, green peppers, jalapeños, salt and pepper.
I don’t drain the fat.
When the onions are about translucent, I add the diced tomatoes, hot tomato sauce, water, the liquid from the beans, and what ever seasoning you like (chili powder or paprika, crushed red pepper,... my blend is never the same twice).

Let it simmer for about 45 minutes.

Then add the beans and simmer for another 10 minutes or so. I don’t like the beans to get mushy.

Spread cream cheese on Saltine cracker. Spoon Chili onto cream cheese. Sprinkle sharp cheddar cheese on chili, which is on the cream cheese, which is on the cracker.
Finish entire bowl of chili like this. 1 cracker per spoonful of chili.

We can't build our dreams, with compression loss.

If an old friend I know, stops by to say hello, will I still feel compression in your rotaderp?

Brakes From Cali to Chi

Makes it to Chi, then decides to go to Wisconsin, before coming to me. That's logistical.
