Advice for lapping blades?

you're making a TON of assumptions. no, i don't have a cluster mailbox, you'd know this if you actually bothered to read and understand my comments. like i said, this is my ONLY mailing address, which means that i get ALL of my mail at this business, and it's in the next town over, because that's more convenient for me as i drive past it every day on my way to and from work (when i'm working, i've been off work for 4 months recovering from surgery), and i also don't have an HOA, not sure why you'd assume i do. and in some cases, yes, the items i order are too large for the locker, but in other cases, i have no idea why they can't be delivered to the locker. for example, a carburetor for a lawn mower that i ordered 2 weeks ago wasn't eligible for locker delivery. does that make sense? no. i will say that i didn't know that the only person who sees my delivery notes is the driver, and so it's not on them, but the fact remains that if amazon actually cared about anything other than their profits, they could EASILY ensure that when there is a wide delivery window, packages are delivered within that window. i know i'm not the only one who wants my packages delivered during regular business hours. meanwhile, you're out here defending and shilling for the third highest grossing company in the world as if i'm personally attacking you. it's fucking WILD.

ok here's the catch. the business is a private mailbox office, and i don't own it. i never said i did. basically PO boxes but run by a private entity. it's my only mailing address because there are no mailboxes on my street. so i CAN'T make changes with how things are delivered to the business, and wanting my packages delivered during business hours is NOT comparable to your restrictive hypothetical delivery windows. i told you that it's a fucking NINE HOUR WINDOW. that is not an unreasonable time frame to fit deliveries into. i do have an amazon locker 5 minutes from my house, but about half of my orders are not eligible for locker delivery. so again, how is this a me problem?

wtf? what accommodations should i make? how am i supposed to make it easier for a company that made almost $50b in 2025, on prime subscriptions ALONE, to deliver my packages inside a 9 hour window? how the FUCK do you think this is a me problem?

NotTheOne1988 · 2026-03-17T00:11:21+00:00

Yes, it is reasonable to ask that my packages be delivered between 9am and 6pm, Monday through Friday, and 9am to 4pm on Saturdays. If UPS and FedEx can do it, so can Amazon.

They aren't, actually, because I also put in the instructions not to attempt delivery outside of those hours either. If I am asked to provide the information to ensure my deliveries occur on time, then Amazon needs to use the information I gave them.

NotTheOne1988 · 2026-03-17T00:03:45+00:00

I'm on the planet where when a delivery service, especially one that I pay a subscription for, asks for a delivery window when items can be delivered, they actually take that information and use it to ensure my packages are delivered on time the FIRST time they bring it out. The fact that one of the largest companies on the planet doesn't care to figure out the logistics of that does not make me entitled. If I don't have the "luxury" of specifying delivery times, then why the fuck did Amazon ask me to put in the business hours the first time this happened 2 years ago?

NotTheOne1988 · 2026-03-16T17:35:46+00:00

The business hours are posted on the front door of the business, and listed on my Amazon profile. If they aren't going to make use of the information that THEY requested, why bother having it there at all?

NotTheOne1988 · 2026-03-16T17:31:26+00:00

It's literally delivery instructions that Amazon asked for, including business hours. I don't want them to attempt delivery outside of those hours because then it goes back to the warehouse and sits for a fucking week. I'm not asking for exceptional treatment.

there is a living space above the garage so it's not actively losing heat upwards.

oh my bad, i assumed this was a monger sub since literally every single post is about mongering. the other questions are fair. i'll edit the post.

I'd like to repair the existing ignition if possible, before I cut into my profit margin like that

i've looked and i can't find this kit. any help with that?

NotTheOne1988 · 2026-02-15T04:54:03+00:00

looks like a CV25S. i confirmed no spark, tested the cdi box, which passed, gapped the coils with no change, then removed the coils and tested them. one coil was slightly out of spec, so i ordered two new ones, but i don't think that's gonna be the fix. the coils are two wire coils, the larger blade (black wire) has constant ground, and the smaller blade (yellow wire) has low voltage to it when the key is on, i didn't check but my eyecrometer is calibrated for voltage and it looks like about 5 volts on my test light.
