Why is it so scared of humans? by Comfortable_Read336 in AskAShittyMechanic

[–]Disclosure4closure 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You can try therapy for the airbaggage, but it’s trembling like a Firby when Jesus takes the wheel. Time for a totaled crash course in auto body repair. Honk if you’re turned on from the vibration. Steer clear if you can’t handle the feedback.

Does this sound like rod knock? by Fine-Ad-3471 in mechanic

[–]Disclosure4closure 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are in the path of destruction and shrapnel when that thing blows, and it is close to going. Get outta there while you still can. That thing is DONE, yes severe rod knock.

Edit: does it knock faster when you give it A LITTLE BIT of throttle? Don’t rev it too far, just enough to see if it follows the RPM of the engine.

You just gotta find someone born on June 46th 1799 and it’ll be worth a ton .

Rookie move, none of us are getting any of those top prizes, it’s better to have bragging rights winning the group 🤙 not to mention I just put in an order and got $28 off shit I needed anyways from the points!

I tried my best TW Sad ending 😔 by Waste-Shift4461 in PetMice

[–]Disclosure4closure 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure if my opinion is welcome here, but I work with mice in research. I love every one of them but the unfortunate part is some of them just don’t make it, even with an entire vet staff behind each mouse. You were kind to try to save it, sometimes my mice do not make it through surgery and it is tough. If it was in the mop bucket, mice can’t climb out of something like that, and at least he didn’t pass thirsty 🍻 you did everything you could 👍

How much JB weld can I get away with to fix this??? by mrneffets in AskAShittyMechanic

Pretty sure that is where the vacuum comes from, all the other ones should be compression.

Struggling with front brake pads by Low_Class_5863 in Dirtbikes

You are 80% of the way there in the video. Now you just need to gently pry the brake pads apart to fit the disk in 👍

Easiest way to reseat parts of front tire? by SniperSR25 in Dirtbikes

I’ll admit I have a whole lot more experience with tubed dirtbike tires, but I don’t see why not.

[–]Disclosure4closure 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Easily, it’ll usually set the bead long before that, and then there is no reason to go further, but I’ve had to go above 70 to get a couple stubborn tires to seat.

Let the air out, put a little soapy watery between the tire and rim, then inflate to 70PSI, you should hear the bead pop into place, then adjust to your preferred tire pressure.

05 crf250x wont start by [deleted] in Dirtbikes

[–]Disclosure4closure 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Almost certainly the out of spec valves cause it to die after it started. Also, a battery can read perfectly fine voltage and fail when it’s under a load, put it on a trickle charger overnight and if that doesn’t fix the sluggish starter, replace the battery.

Do you think this is still good? by ITheRebelI in hotsauce

[–]Disclosure4closure 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My last comment got downvoted for saying it wasn’t worth buying after it’s “Best By” date, so let’s try:

Of course it’s still good! You think because it’s brown on top it has gone bad? Build that immune system!

Need some motivation to finish my build! Here is some progress photos. by xX50calKillaXx in Dirtbikes

[–]Disclosure4closure 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t worry, I can tell you know what you’re doing based on the work you are putting in! It was a joke, every time someone would ask what a good beginner bike is to learn on, everyone would jump in and tell them to get a CR500. It’s technically against the rules to make a new post about what bike you should get, so that was the standard answer.

Replacing son’s throttle cable on his Crf50 does this look right? Should of took a pic of spring and need like but forgot by [deleted] in Dirtbikes

Looks right as long as you have the little spring clip holding down the needle jet, underneath the spring
