What have you done this weekend...?

unclear what it means, can you explain?

 

[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica][FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica]It runs. Pulled the plugs. Pumped out the water. Sprayed 'em all good with WD40 (didn't know what else to use.) Pulled the impeller. It's only 2 yrs old. I had to have pulled something through it to do this much damage.



New plugs, put it all back together. Started right up. No noises. A lil' rough idle. Next (when it cools down) I'll change the oil and set the timing. Let's hope it hangs together.[/FONT][/FONT]

 

Lunchtime view today....



Well I think it's lunchtime!



Cutting asphalt is a very very very dirty job! So you can probably guess what I'll be doin' the rest of the weekend! *sigh*

Last "HoneyDo" before I can start my boat build! Wohoo!!!!

 

If the motor wasn't run for a while and you crank it the impeller is going to break like that every time. The rubber gets stuck on the metal if it stands for long.

What you should do before a start after a long stand time is to wet the impeller properly, then by hand and VERY slowly turn the engine to give the rubber a chance to tear loose from the housing. After it's first run you can start it up without that, only if the motor was in hybernation is it required.

I thought you knew ???

 

Doh!!!!

 

Well, here, HOV lanes are to the left of the fast lanes, bypassing congested areas and usually faster yet. You get in one by being on a bus, driving a hybrid, paying a penalty, or carpooling. What I mean is, we are going down the same road as SA (because of perceived inequalities, real or not, pulling everyone down to the lowest denominator) and very quickly.

 

Mark that is a global phenomena... So I guess one to be expected in humanity? - Just shows, - we the 'naked ape', are not really that smart when heard mentality is considered

 

If you cut asphalt put water on the blade stops dust.

 

I did that Mas until my grinder blew up in my face! Flames followed by that magical blue smoke! Had to go buy a new one.

 

otherwise known as
world trade

what the're really doing is trading labor to the lowest bidder
brings wages down in areas that traditionally had good pay scales
keeps wages low in areas that didnt
great plan eh

how long to a two class system if that doesn't change soon

 

We all have our moments (brilliance - brain farts) and stupidity - normal behaviour... - - - What I did ? mow the lawn before it became a "honey-do"

 

I think he meant
put water on the asphalt and let it flow to were the blade is making contact

if you water the saw
that blue smoke sparking deal is going to happen every time

my two cents
har har

Ive cut a lot of stone with a diamond blade in a skill saw
everyone freaks when they see me with a saw in one hand and a hose in the other
keeps dust down really well
just make sure and miss the motor

cheers

Doh!!!!

 

Aye Rick,

What's with the Doh!!!! Doh!!!!... ? Ancient bird wasn't it ?

When I wired power to the workshop I chased using a magnificent machine from a friend that was made specially for the job. You're supposed to do the chasing in a few seconds... it even provides for a vacuum cleaner so no dust ends up in the environment.

It did the slotting in the wall, but the vacuum machine wasn't nessesary. I guess the slotting machine was still under development, the wife wasn't impressed since she had the clean the house out

 

The hell with the driveway!

[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica][FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica]Today was an absolutely gorgeous day for a tour in the IROC! 500 Kms with the t-tops off and topped off with a boat ride!

Waitin' in line for the ferry.



Gettin' loaded up on the ferry.



It's days like today that make all the time, effort & expense worth it.[/FONT][/FONT]
