    Apparently can't embed this YouTube shorts clip. But this is the upcoming Titanium 210 AC/DC multi-process welder that should be out in the next few months. I eagerly await for it to come out. https://youtube.com/shorts/mxXbQaNL-RE?si=DiD37Q3GPZWW9OuC

    Made bread, ham with a homemade glaze, and scalloped potatoes. Just my wife and I for Christmas, since we both work tomorrow.

    ST2-NG Pre-build "Think Tank"

    Trying to figure out the front brakes. Thinking on settling on using a 4on4 bolt pattern front and rear, using 12x7 golf cart wheels. Front brakes, looking at maybe doing golf cart disk brakes. You can find a complete front kit for like $700, including spindles with the caliper mounts. But I...

    Did have my yearly physical today. Doctor says overall I am doing well, though he would like me to lose 6lbs, so I'll shoot for 10lbs, to give some wiggle room. Since I work on vehicles, doing oil changes and what not, I was concerned for my blood lead levels. He said however, he would be more...

    Since I plan on using this engine year round, I want to tune for optimal performance as to not melt it.

    Just ordered up a different gasket and seal kit for the snowmobile, as well as a carb adapter and voltage regulator. Think the last gasket set I got lacked the crank seals. Being these are nearly 50 years old, rather be on the safe side and get new ones. Can't remember if I got a voltage...

    780 series driven issue

    I was going to link that spring too until I saw 90D not 770, 780, or 790. I think most of the 700 springs will work, just a pulley diameter difference. Could be wrong.

    780 series driven issue

    Normally the part that has the spring, is on the outside of the jackshaft. Yours is on the inside. A reverse wound spring will allow it to operate properly when its mounted the way that it is now.

    780 series driven issue

    That looks like a reverse gearbox to me hooked up to the driven there.

    780 series driven issue

    You need to deepen that gear ratio. Need to be closer to 8:1 to work with that. Your at 4:1, though looks like you might have a gearbox that has a 2:1 internal ratio which would give you about 8:1, if its the gearbox I am thinking of.

    780 series driven issue

    Tire size and sprocket teeth count for each one? Picture of the setup would be great to help.

    See , I didn't do anything stupid when I was 8 and I still ended up with a broken jaw, that nearly 25 years later, is still crooked. Because of that accident, I've been getting TMJ for about 10 years now, maybe longer and 4 of my top teeth are now ceramic crowns. Had those finally done when I...

    I mean $111 for an engine is still a good deal.

    If no one has by this summer and I've picked up a new welder, I might make a new DIY Go Karts build off trophy. But that also has to be on the condition that the build off starts again and it continues. Do the mods have the ability to run it, or do we need Robert or Tim to do that?

    I'm not that malicious. Usually, I'm good to know where to draw the line at. Others that come on here, nope. If I do videos on my buggy build, either I'm going to have to censor them or just not post the videos on here. Years of swearing at things and people, makes you a bit jaded. I have a...

    If you think dealing with advisors is bad as a customer at a dealership, try being a technician at one. I'm surprised half of them remember to breathe. But honestly, don't know who's worse...advisors or salesman? Because at least 2/3rds of those chuckle nuts are back here asking us, how some...

    One tip we were given was make a test light out of a 3157 bulb, which is about 12 watts.

    One guy at work has a Power Probe, he's not very smart with it. He just willy-nilly puts 12v of power on stuff. Just waiting for the day he puts 12v of power in a 5v line or module and just nukes it. I use a 12v incandescent test light a lot to, just to check circuits. LED ones work, but they...
