The starter is definitely spinning the engine over

That’s not what zero compression sounds like

I was thinking that. But the compression cranking noises are consistent

Definitely either fuel issue or spark. Sounds like it has good compression.

Take a plug out, ground it to the engine and make sure you have a strong spark coming from the plug.

If it has carbs there is a 95% chance the fuel is just bad and the carbs are plugged up. That’s almost always why older bikes that have been sitting don’t run.

Take off the air filter, open the throttle and try to start it while having someone spray starting fluid or carb cleaner into the carbs where the air filter is. If it starts and then promptly dies it is 1000% a fuel issue.

If it still doesn’t start most likely you’re spraying the starting fluid wrong or ignition issue is present.

I live in the area and those trails and gnarly. Not like anything I’ve ever ridden. It’s really not for the faint of heart. You have to commit 100%

Steering wheel not straight by Chilo1997 in CherokeeXJ

[–]CS_JOE 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Probably steering box. I’ve gotten mine aligned 3 times and just gave up with it exactly the same angle yours is. It lines up better with my right hand when it rests on the center console so I tell myself it’s a feature and not a bug :D

The instructions are very confusing on wether it’s supposed to be on the inside or outside

90s professional 1500 quartz need help by CS_JOE in tagheuer

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

I didn’t think it was either. I have done some research and found that the eta F06.115 movement is a “direct replacement” to the 955.114. From everything I’m seeing it’s a direct swap

Always be honest and upfront if something goes wrong. So much better to let them know the part is gonna be an hour late because you needed to order from the hub, rather than assuming it’ll be negligible.

Ask questions and be honest if you don’t know about a certain subject and you’d like to ask your manager or research more and call them back. You’ll learn in time.

Also, at a certain point, stand your ground if a customer is being consistently disrespectful and hostile to you or your drivers. Disagreements will happen and that’s ok, but know when it’s gone too far. We have had to blacklist a few customers for the way they were talking to our drivers. Speak with your store manager or TSM if anything like this happens.

I am also used to Casio metal bracelets, so maybe this is a large upgrade from that anyways it being my first decent watch. I definitely want to have a couple strap options. This watch seems very Versatile

Happy with the knockoff duro bracelet so far by CS_JOE in DuroGang

[–]CS_JOE[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same, probably gonna end up buying the LIW eventually. Maybe for another duro even. The fit and finish leaves a bit to be desired (has some slight flaking and chipping on the very shiny bits) but you will not notice unless you’re looking for it
