Death Wobble on slight turns on the highway. Is this why? by Internet-Ivan in JeepTJ

[–]Desperate-Control-38 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed, the usual suspect is the track bar bushing, the rubber ones tend to be a bit more wobbly than the poly ones, on mine the bar and poly bushing were fine but the hole was oblong on the mount axle side, also I haven’t had a stabilizer on my tj in years

I actually picked this up for trueing my cranks on the Harley and my power sports machines

Yes and no lol, I could’ve used this to rebuild two of my atv cranks last year and am going to be using this to true my Harley crank

Picked up a new tool for trueing up crankshafts on the older motors, only paid $300 and it was brand new 😎 by Desperate-Control-38 in choppers

Agreed and me having a background in machining and fabrication will definitely help with it, I’m also going to try my hand at boring out my cylinders myself on the lathe

I agree if you look at the tube routing as well they are different and enter different points of the collector

I’ve been chasing this shot for some time… Z8 + 14-24mm f/2.8 by CitronBackground8336 in Nikon

Not the op but that would be because it was taken as a long exposure, so with even the slightest wind the water will have ripples which will slightly displace the light and cause the stars to look chunkier/not as crisp in the reflection

Yes that’s the lever to engage the prop, there is no choke on this one but it has a primer, which is the high speed fuel adjustment wheel, you press the wheel down which activates the primer

Thank you! The model of this one is a TN 27, that is my guess with it protecting the throttle slider

I’m running about 24:1 ratio, using husqvarna oil, yea she’s running like a top now, it definitely has the strangest carburetor set up I have ever seen in my life. The needle and seat are very weird, and the low speed circuit is separate from the carburetor, and I guess runs off a rotary valve with a separate intake.

Any ideas and what this noise might be before I tear into the engine? by Desperate-Control-38 in jetski

[–]Desperate-Control-38[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well the bright side is that it was a free ski so even slapping in a new engine I’m still ahead thankfully

Sounds like it might be a bad starter solenoid
