    I’m pretty sure I was told the part time position was supposed to be around 16-24 hours per week. Now I’m getting scheduled for 37 hours. I’m not complaining about the hours. I applied cause I need money. I see people on Reddit getting hours reduced. I just wasn’t expecting to be spending...

    I like this beef but haven’t found it recently. I used to shop at Jewel.

    My favorite Hot Dogs and beefs come from Portillos. It’s good but expensive for the type of food. But all food is expensive now. Fast food sandwiches are like $12. Portillos has branched out a bit. I know they are in Florida. I can’t even get Vienna Beef natural casing beef franks unless I...

    If going to get deep dish pizza, get it from Lou Malnatis. Butter crust, full layer of sausage, sliced tomatoes, and garlic.

    Best Manual Clutch Option on a Three Speed Tranny

    That’s sounds good. You’ll probably be happy staying in 3rd. But you have the option to use lower gears to do wheelies, pull stumps, climb tall buildings in a single bound.

    I’m just not sure I want a Crook County Condo long term. I don’t think my housing expenses are very much, but property taxes just rub me wrong; especially in Crook County. They’re just going to keep going up. I pay about $150 / Mo in property tax. After 2 years my home owners exemption...

    Best Manual Clutch Option on a Three Speed Tranny

    Yep true, but I worry about the TAV not fully shifting. Clutches of any type relying on centrifugal forces… I’d prefer they are fully locked up. Weights pinned against the outside. I don’t like idea of not getting to that point. I’m probably not explaining it correctly, but if high gear is...

    Best Manual Clutch Option on a Three Speed Tranny

    if using the CVT, it changes the ratios. A standard 30 series TAV has an overdrive ratio of 0.9 to 1. So if in high gear … 4.5 becomes 4 : 1. I would not recommend it. I’m not sure I understand the set up your planning. I guess I was thinking about putting a 7/8” driven unit on the...

    I got the condo for $58k. Maybe another $10k for a new window, sliding glass door, carpet, vinyl plank flooring, backsplash, some paint, fridge stove, outlets, light fixtures… Probably in for about $70k after the fixes. If I listed it today, I’d have to replace the carpet my dog pisses on, then...

    Best Manual Clutch Option on a Three Speed Tranny

    As long as it had clearance. If looking at the crankshaft side, I’ve mostly seen Torque converter kits with backplates pointed at about 4 o clock, but also 10 o’clock is common. If that makes sense. If talking about 2 o’clock, I haven’t seen it. 4 o clock often requires lifting the engine...

    Best Manual Clutch Option on a Three Speed Tranny

    Ok good info! So with the 30 :12 sprocket ratio… 1st 20 : 1 2nd 17.5 : 1 3rd 6.5 : 1 ??? Is this what you are getting? with 5.5 HP engine and 14” tires… I’m ok with 1st and 2nd gear. It’s quite a jump to third, but with 14” tires it’s probably ok. You could probably run a clutch or...

    GX270 misfiring

    Check for spark. If you don’t have a tester, pull the plug and lay it on the block after attaching the cable again. Pull the cord and look to see if it sparks. Checking for spark is always a good place to start when diagnosing “won’t start.”

    Maybe, just a guess. Or maybe some other ignition / kill switch wiring issue. Phone dying.

    GX270 misfiring

    Low oil sensor could cause problems. It kills the spark when tripped. I’m not familiar with gx270 configuration for the governor arm. I think the governor gear assembly is on the side cover side on bigger engines. Hmm I’m not sure if free to spin if it could impact other moving parts like...

    GX270 misfiring

    I haven’t watched the video yet. Do you still have a low oil sensor connected? Is there gas in the tank? If you test for spark first, then you can try starting with starting fluid. It’s always one of a few things… Spark, Fuel, Air, Compression, Timing… those 5 categories make the lawnmowers go...
