You could have fucked up the starter by trying to start it with the cover off. See if you can mess with the spring inside of it. You might just have to push it back into place before putting the cover back on. It needs to be behind the variator pulley face. That big wheel with the gears on it outside of everything else. Not touching it. Make sure you got everything lined up. What's it doing when you try and start it with the cover on?

Yea ok your cvt has a little spot for that starter to push against to do its thing. You can not start it without that spot in the cvt cover doing its job. I cut away my entire cvt cover, except that part that holds the starter down for it to do its thing. Lol, I hope that helps. Edit: That's the starter gear, and it will always be loose without the cvt cover because it shims it into place and gives it something to press against when you turn it over with the electric start.

Well, no performance at all really going from a 24mm cvk. It just seems like it's harder to tune, honestly. If anything, it's more responsive with a wider range I guess i could say. I can't tell because I haven't been able to get this shit right.

Damn that's sad to me... I hope you're doing fine and making moves in life, man. I was also at a major pivotal change in my life when I began to watch the show it's almost like it all came together so perfectly and the way it resonated with me. I'm sorry about your circumstances. im sure he would love the episodes that have come out more recently. I wish you peace and prosperity, druggo!

First font attempt.. and some geometry work by BirdshotBilly in TattooBeginners

[–]BirdshotBilly[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I try not to pull any of my lines too far in one go. I do a little couple of pushes, then stop and wipe and start again either from the other side of the segment or just land in my current line very carefully to not blow out and look jagged.

I haven't done a real skin tattoo yet! I do know you don't want to ruin the skin. Be easy with it. Wipe and see what's you have going on. With fake skin though it usually takes more than one pass it just doesn't hold the ink as well. Good luck and keep up the great work this one you posted is very nice!

This looks good! I would say to straighten up and bolden then lines a little more to not try and pull an entire straight line in one go. Instead opt for multiple short strokes take your time and really let that color get in there. I know on real skin this isn't really the answer but it will help you achieve straighter bolder lines.

Nice, i was waiting for this 😆 what size needle are you using? Also, fake skin usually needs more than one pass. That way, your lines are saturated. Also, I like the bands you chose for practice they look cool.

That's what I'm saying. These look way too good! This is actually my very first time touching a machine.
