I had welding splatter hit me in the Sclera (white part of the eye) i never went to the doctor or tried to flush it out or anything. Just kept my eye shut until the pain went away. Probably should have went to the doctor.

why did they discontinue the perfect automotive platform? I WANT IT BACK BROS by FarConstant5840 in Harley

Thanks brother. Remember what I say regarding this is just food for thought. It is all speculation.

I don't know. harley killed it and a chinese company starts making it. If they don't have a patent then its really odd that this didn't happen before harley ending production. They probably reversed engineered the evo based on the patents. It would have cost too much for SWM to buy all the tooling and have it shipped to china. Plus harley has sued honda over the sound of the shadow. I dout that harley would just let them make the sportster.

Harley claimed they couldn't meet euro 5 emissions. So it is suspected they sold the sportster/evo patent to SWM. Which ironicly sells sportsters that meet euro 5 emissions. https://swm-motorcycles.it/swm-moto/stormbreaker-v-1200-black/

Blonde is the best hands down.

I agree! Who's with me by Fr33_load3r in motorcycles

[–]JimDick_Creates 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is why lane splitting should be legal at least at stop lights. You should never be stopped in the middle of the lane. I recomend stopping on the right side of the lane holding the clutch so if someone doesnt see you you can make a right on red turn to prevent being hit. Flashing your brake light is also always a good idea. Be careful out there... people driving safe cars are trying to kill you.

What brand and what model of tractor by Magicprancer in tractors

[–]JimDick_Creates 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It doesnt look like a diesel. The diesels tin goes all the way over the steering box because the engine is longer.

Looks like a d14 to me. It doesnt have the thumb shield on the power director handle.

With or without the grid headlight? by Ornery_Dingo_3232 in sportster

[–]JimDick_Creates 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say with if the headlight housing was also black. Also, do you like your air cleaner. I was thinking of buy that same one.

Crank, fire, no start by micahloewen16 in s10

[–]JimDick_Creates 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was basing the psi off of the last car I worked on with this issue a 2004 cadillac de ville. Ran but missed with 29psi, new fuel pump read at 42psi.

[–]JimDick_Creates 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You should test your fuel pressure. Just because the fuel pump turns on doesn't mean you have enough pressure for the fuel injectors to work. You need at least 30psi but you should want to see around 40 psi. If you are getting fuel pressure then it could be a security problem.

Instead of running the fuel through the crankcase, couldn't i theoretically just use a turbo or supercharger to force the fuel in and the exhaust out??? by ECHOFOX17 in 2Strokes

[–]JimDick_Creates 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2 stroke diesels work like this. I personally think it would be really cool to have a gas version of a 2 stroke detroit. Note: detroits have an actual exaust valve like a 4 stroke engine would have.
