    Sure hope so and it wasn't corruption like it was earlier this year and we get a metric crap-ton of spam again.

    Hopefully nothing broke in the background in the last hour. Had errors getting on the forum then.

    Didn't say it wouldn't but it seems like that wasn't even thought of already, and staking a screw was the first option.

    Was going to mow, but neighbors have people over for the Huskers football game. So ordered a motherboard for my gaming PC. It was $100 off front NewEgg

    Adequate Ventilation

    Bet if you added a damper to it, that auto closes when the fan has spun down to a near stop, the heat would stay in. Unless you're talking about when its on, at which point, yeah tough call.

    Hopefully that'll move enough CFM to make a difference. Curious to see how well it works.

    Water witching is weird. Feels like a phony thing.

    Whats with being from Indiana and being into Go Karts?

    Or, fun fact, they (Baja 1000 event organizers) have to pay off the locals that the course cuts through. My service advisor got to go down to the Baja peninsula last year, and take an on course tour of the whole track. It was thrown together by BF Goodrich to have them test out the new BFG Baja...

    I don't know the paint codes they used, however, looking around it's apparently close to General Motors Victory Red and Ruby Red Metallic. Victory Red Paint code is WA9260. Ruby Red Metallic WA681R.

    Adequate Ventilation

    Stainless steel gives off hexavalent chromium, nickel, and manganese gases. Highly toxic. Welding galvanized steel gives off zinc fumes. Drinking milk DOES NOT prevent getting sick after welding these metals. Welding aluminum can release oxides. One of the things you're supposed to do before...

    Manco Deuce Predator Advice

    Definitely looks like it needs a seal for one of the shafts, might as well drain and refill it with new gear oil. A Predator 420 would be a step up to what you have and would be a cheaper bolt on replacement with next to no modifications to do.

    GX200 mod issues

    There also might be specific aftermarket camshafts that might have this problem already solved. One would have to contact companies and find out for sure. Also not sure what year this particular engine is, let alone what years this started. Might just be engines of the last 5 years, no idea...

    Manco Deuce Predator Advice

    What gearbox is on the 613? Not finding much specs for it. It's possible a 670 might work. Could also look at a smaller V-twin.

    GX200 mod issues

    Yesterday Red Beard's Garage posted a video about modifying a a GX200. Guy sent Greg an actual Honda to modify for a drift trike. Other than clearancing issues, there's an issue with the crank and cam timing. Turns out, Honda potentially changed the timing of their engines. Greg suspects it's...

    DIYGK Grammar Champions

    Biggest issue is, about 40 years ago, they stopped teaching phonics and went an easier way that only worked up until like 4th grade and became more of a detriment.

    Been pricing stuff out for a reseal and potential rebuild on the Vanguard. Got the tractor off the trailer today, started up for me after some cranking. Gas in the tank smells of varnish, but still potent enough to at least go bang. Quit a bit of oil seepage and build up around the PTO cover...

    Harbor Freight Deals

    I don't have first hand with any of the Harbor Freight welders. I was dumb and got my Northern Industrial 140 GMAW welder back in 2013, way earlier than the Titanium series or even the Omni came out, because at the time, the only welder HFT had was the Chicago Electric 90 Flux Cored welder. Had...
