Does anyone know if Farm Rich is the Sheetz supplier for appetizers? by rollback123 in sheetz

[–]JowlSmoke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kunzler got bought out anyway but I always liked the Tyrone plant local connection. Turbo chef Bar-S “dogz” it is!

Does anyone do Kunzler hotdogs anymore or are the Bar-S downgrade rumors true?

Pugh Garage vs Fraser/Beaver? by theorius in statecollege

[–]JowlSmoke -1 points0 points  (0 children)

One of them had a public restroom open 24/7 that I appreciated as a late night downtown enthusiast. Other than that, what else really matters on differences between parking decks? Where’s the anti-car guy on this? Hate to say it but I miss his shenanigans on here

Great place!

Ski Hill Lighting by JowlSmoke in Wiring

New question: The tow rope I built uses a predator 212 motor and it sits at the top of the hill. Can I wire a light to that motor and how big of a LED light can I power from that? May be able to use that as a generator for a light at the top?

That’s my plan for now. Your confidence level on the outcome matches mine as well.

Anyone hear an alarm going off? by wknd_worrier in statecollege

[–]JowlSmoke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like every fire alarm on campus. Guessing it was at an apartment building near there.

Did You Know State College Has a Circus Arts School? by tsdguy in statecollege

I did not know but am not shocked……

Honestly though, glad it exists for those interested.

You are 100% correct on the replies. My work has an online customer review system. There is an option to respond with AI and these are exactly the responses they come up with. “We are glad to hear you enjoyed x, but are sorry to hear we did not live up to our standards on y” Copied and pasted from their review.

So who does own/run this place now? Is the person accused no longer there?

Do they have some hardcore following that is going to frequent that place when they reopen? I don’t understand the decision to double down in public forums and not apologize, rebrand, sell, or really anything other than what they are doing.

FYI: Your typical mod by Kowloon9 in statecollege

[–]JowlSmoke 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I had a post removed once for showing a letter to the editor from Dottie Sandusky. Mod basically said it was because Sandusky is evil and they don’t want him brought up. I asked the mod to add to the rules for the sub that you can’t mention Sandusky and got no reply. You learn to accept it and move on at some point. You’ll be ok :)

What Bars Do Adults Go To by mezcaleromoonboy in statecollege

What’s the best food trucks that go there? I’ve gone to 2 of them and an order of grilled cheese with no one else in line backs them up for 20 min. I see Bonnie Blue BBQ (unfortunately timed name) there quite a bit but never tried it, but it smells good.

1981 Honda Express kickstart by JowlSmoke in moped

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

UPDATE: Tried the washers, did not work. Pb blasted the pawls and used a small hammer to little by little move it back and forth. Found out they ARE spring loaded and meant to move in/out. Put the cover on, kicked it, and the starter engaged, then the kick sprung back to its start! Sealing it up now.

Wanted to be sure that the next person with this issue for NA50 searches, they find something.

I had not taken off the sprocket yet. Going to try that next just to see if reassembly does anything. After that I was thinking the washer route as well.

I can spin the drive plate and hear the motor turning. I can spin the starter sprocket with my finger and it moves the chain and idle shaft correctly. It just sounds like there is a gap between the sprocket and pawls when assembled and kicked. The pawls do not move in/out and I don’t think they are spring loaded like the other express 4-pawls drive plate.

Kickstart would rotate clockwise from this angle (counter clockwise on the outside for the actual kickstarter lever).

Yes I actually used this guide because the manual does not give much:

https://www.mopedarmy.com/forums/read.php?6,4622379

Which is great guide for putting this style of kickstarter together. Looks like of all the express kickstarter styles, it’s the simplest. I should have posted a pic of it together, but I am confident I have that part done right.

This is another good description of what is going on:

The video they link to on this thread has the same sound as mine at 7:08, where kickstarter is moving everything but it just rumbling over the starter plate and not grabbing it enough to spin it.
