My Garage Is Clean

[bighead]

Well in the history of Bigheads it is the first time the garage has been clean. I spent the week cleaning and building shelves. Also got all my tools back in the box. I have not seen a clean work bench in years.

I built a 4 foot shelf up high. And 2 foot shelfs on the lower ones.

Here some pics to laugh at.

You have a really nice setup there. I also have to clean my garage a bit. You have just given me the inspiration. I have so many tools and open toolboxes lying around that it looks terrible.

I am still trying to expand my tool collection. The problem is that they are so expensive. Oh well .... a little at a time I suppose.

Holy f'ing tools! How do you ever find a socket? And do you really need ALL of those hand tools. Like how many can you possibly use? I'm so jealous! Do you have a small snow mobile engine in that 7th photo? Also, can you leave me 1% of your tools in your will?

I too, would like to request 1% of your tools, after you die

Might I suggest getting one(or 5) of these:

Well about 20 years ago I worked at Proto Tools. I got most my good tools while working there. Then the others is all from Garage sales. I go to about 20 yard sales a day on nice weekends. I find a few here and a few there. Before long you get a nice collection.

Finding sockets is easy when you got 50 of each kind. LOL

The motors are Odyssey engines I have. I have 2 other stock odyssey that need engine rebuilds. Just a pile of Ody stuff. Some good stuff in there though. The prized item is the ody engine with the Goli electric starter. About an $350 kit new. New carb with adapter. rest of the stuff needs work or cleaned up. Hope to have my sled Ody running in 2 to 3 weeks. Waiting on POR15 right now.

and i thought i was cool when i had a couple weedie engines stacked on the shelf...

wait... why are there 2 spark plugs?

 

[redsox985]

Bigger BOOM!

Probably just for stronger ignition. I don't know honestly.

Just a spare plug holder. If a plugs goes bad. You just move the boot to the other plug. Besides that I do not know. Honda did use this head off another bike. The head has the shaved fins to make room for the pipe. But the Ody pipe is not even close the the shaved fins.

That second spark plug thing really does bend my head. I honestly would have thought that having a plug sitting there dead would just foul it up over time and render it useless when you need it.Maybe not? On the other hand, my buddy has several mid 80's Honda Shadow VT750 twins, which use 2 plugs per cylinder. What I don't know, is whether they fire simultaneously, or perhaps it's a waste-spark system where the second plug fires on the exhaust stroke. All I know is that all the plugs are connected to the coils.

The other plug doesn't foul out. It was really common to have on 70's-80's bikes.

The extra port can also be used for a decompression valve, they are the same thread.
