YIKES!!! another 1 to 3" coming tonight too, I really feel for those people!

Kelly, just a tip and for others, some of you may know this and some may not, for bolts that are torqued and suspect there is also loc-tite and there is no real good way to get heat in there or may be in sensitive area where you dont want direct heat applied. A high Wattage soldering iron works...

in my neck of woods, ton of standing water in fields, rivers and creeks very high, supposed to get a little reprieve today then more storms tomorrow night, thought I had heard about a dam possibly failing in the U.P. can only imagine the melt run off they are having up there and in the north...

Technically.... a plunger type choke set up is more of an enrichener more so than a choke because you are not "choking off" the air supply to privide a fuel charge required for starting, where as an enrichener is only providing an "enriched" fuel charge for starting, so in retrospect...Kawasaki...

3rd jet?

Nice to see Munising Motorsports on that list, had to call on them last year, never stepped foot in their place before then, 3rd day of trip, showed up at their dealership that morning, got me in right away, owner and counter people very friendly, tech took me in back to show me what the problem...

this is not about how much Doo or Poo sold in comparison and one could argue it may be result of the winter we just had and undoubtedly is likely part of it but IMO... with Darling at the helm, some new and continuing improvements and some pretty dam good looking sleds its clear The Cat is back...

Penn and Deka batteries are only ones I would consider outside of Yuasa powersports batteries, as far as I know Exide purchased Interstate but I could be wrong. In my shop the most frequently replaced batteries are Duracell, Exide and FVP, FVP being one of the worst, wouldnt use one of those in...

FYI to anyone who sprays themselves for mosquito's.... DO NOT use garlic oil! will likely eventually clog up sprayers especially gas powered ones, wear as much skin protection i.e. gloves and facial if have to clean out or you will be regretting it for a while

"I haven't had this much fun since high school small engine class!" I AGREE!! I have a few resto projects, I wish I had the knowledge and drive Kelly has, another thing is the time to commit. I love classic and vintage stuff and I appreciate the people who preserve it, without them it would just...

I'm beyond ready here but my season at the shop is coming in way too fast, wish we could have eased into it, our trailer opens up in about another week, chomping at bit for that too as well as getting on the water again seeing some boats in the water here already, 70's early next week, all the...
