I am awaiting delivery of a Garrett Ace 150 metal detector. I have always wanted one, since I was a kid, and I thought with my bonus money I would treat myself. Has anyone on the forum got a detector, or ever used one? I hear that once you start finding stuff, the bug bites hard and you cant...

I came across this thread on a buggy website that I thought some who have a GY6 would be interested in. There is a lot of other info there too.

Hi guys. I was wondering if anyone had seen somewhere on the interweb machine a printable drawing of the footprint of a GX140/160/200 engine. I know they all have the same footprint. I thought it would make my life a little easier if I could print out a copy and use that to line up where I...

So as you all know, the thread regarding our logo has gone nowhere for a very long time. There are some good logos that have been put forward, but nobody has taken the initiative yet to get the ball rolling. This is why us older mods have decided to break Fabroman (Tony) in by giving him his...

Well guys – it has been a while since you have seen me put my expert (:D) hand to any sort of build, so I thought it would be high time to share something with you again. Here is the backstory to this build: I got a PM from someone called TANKSAREUS (Daniel), over at OMB. He is also a South...

As you probably have all noticed (I hope), the site has been down for the last day or so. Us moderators still do not have any idea what the cause was, but if it was anything serious we will let you all know. Its good to see you all again. I tend to get withdrawal symptoms if I cannot access...

Some stupid lady drove into the back of me this morning on the way to work!!!! :mad::mad2::mad2::censored::censored::censored: Here I am minding my own business on my motorbike. I stop behind a car waiting for traffic to get moving again, then BAMM!!! She rearends me. Luckily she was going...

Hi guys. I have been noticing that every second noob on the forum has a problem with their engine that could potentially be solved by a good old carb clean. I thought that I would appeal to the greater DIYGK community to contribute to this potential sticky. What would be great is a tutorial...

So my wife owns a shop that sells skin/hair care products, and she has just moved into another mall in town. There is a lot more foot traffic there, and we decided to make the change. Definitely for the better. What she needed now however was a much better sign for the shop. I have been looking...

Hi there. I have noticed a lot of late that people have mentioned that they cannot post pics from their smartphones, ipads etc. There are ways to do this, and I thought I would share some links etc so that people can learn how to do it. We all like pics on this forum, so I want everyone to know...

After a few of the members suggested that we get some more emoticons, I went and trawled the net for some that we might find useful. Robert said that he would update them on the server, and if you have a look you will see the new ones that have been added. Thank you Robert for updating them. If...

Hi everyone. I have decided to try and educate members on the forum regarding posting of pics. Most people know how to post their pics fine. The problem comes in on the method that is used. Using the option provided by the forum software to upload pics as clickable thumbnails is the most...

My daughter turned 16 a month ago, and has gotten her scooter learners licence. We bought her a scooter so that she can get to school and back, as well as having a little bit of freedom. We were dropping her off and picking her up each day, and amount of gas we were using was hugely expensive...

Hi guys, maybe you can help me out here. I have a 2 stroke EC10 lawnmower that is quite old, but has been going great forever. I have had the normal ups and downs, but there has never been any major mechanical failures. So last week my gardener used the mower to cut the grass, and everything...

Welcome to DIYGK!! You are here because like us you are into anything small with 2 or 4 wheels. This message should give you a good heads-up on what is expected of you on the forum. There are very few rules, but we enforce the ones that we do have pretty strictly. This is a family friendly...

Hi all. We have several threads regarding throttle hook-ups for the old HF blue clones, but not much for the new HF Predator Engines (whatever the HP rating). I have noticed in the last little while that people have been asking how to do this. I would like everyone to post explanations and...

I really get annoyed when people ask for help, and then never post pics. Sure, in you first post you may not have any...but if you are then asked for some before we can help you....POST SOME PICS DANGIT!!!!! Every second post I see we are asking for pics, and the OP never posts any. Whats up...

Hi all. As most of you know (I think), I have never torn into an engine to try and rebuild it. I have a Yamaha MZ175 5.5HP engine that I have started tearing into. It has never wanted to start since I got it, so I want to clean it up, open it up and check everything as well. This is going to be...

I though you canadians better get your evacuation plans in order :roflol: http://www.iol.co.za/news/back-page/british-columbia-issues-tips-for-fighting-zombies-1.1297689

So I went to go visit my folks this weekend that live in Margate, which is on the coast. Margate was hosting the Africa Bike Week again this year. A total of 12000 bikers (mainly with Harleys) descended on the town and had a festival. Here is an article about it...
