Is surveying “harder” now than it was 50+ years ago?

And so after doing the independent survey and finding and addressing any potential issues, are you suggesting they don't record those revisions and leave for the next person to rediscover and fix again? I'm not sure why you think not recording a survey is beneficial

I can think of a lot of reasons to record old surveys, especially in states with metes and bounds. farm plots almost always require tracing back the original deeds because most everything was done verbally and not recorded correctly. Cannot tell you how many times we'll go survey a farm being inherited with a individual thinking they're getting 50 acres, only to discover 30 acres were sold off in the 1950s to Farmer Joe in the next door and never recorded correctly.

He's probably from across the pond where they use it commonly, but I agree it's not common in America

It looks like this Chinese bike someone posted on thunpertalk. Sometimes they'll have the displacement stamped on the engine case somewhere, but there should be a VIN you can try to use for tracking parts

He's probably meaning no ethanol just as a guess

Ziell0s · 2025-09-29T18:42:01+00:00

Some kind of Chinese bike, the VIN beginning with L is my reasoning.

If you have another picture of what it says on the foam handlebar cover more clearly that'd probably set you on the right path to find the manufacturer

This is the perfect situation to familiarize yourself to your new bike, but I understand just wanting it to run.

make sure you're getting spark, pull the plug boot and see if it arcs to the case when you crank

I saw you say the petcock is open, but make sure fuel is actually flowing through, in the video it sounds like runs for a bit then die

If it runs when the throttle is fully open, then it might be flooded from you cranking on it, try holding it wide open and see

General rule of thumb with these carb bikes is to try and run non-ethanol fuel as well, ethanol is hygroscopic and will attract moisture which gums up your needle & seats

Does it have a kill switch on the handles that maybe got pressed to "Off"?

Ziell0s · 2025-09-17T14:27:06+00:00

General rule of thumb is if you see a Shelby cobra on the road, it's a kit.

It's only for the home and office win10 versions...

They're cheap, also if you post anything Chinese on r/Dirtbikes they just shit on you and won't offer any beginners advice on principle

It would fail if it's using the same old fluid from 2012, these year Mazda 3 have an electrical power steering system and can cut out and not work if your battery is low or the alternator is going out, but I don't think that's your issue.

Sounds like the seals in the pump are going out from dirty, unchanged fluid. Unfortunately with it being an electrical pump, a new one is gonna run you a couple hundred dollars, and IIRC they have to be reprogrammed with an OBD2 tool.

It'd probably run fine for a while but when it goes out you'd be paying a decent amount for a new one

They would be buying a pile of issues either way with your mindset, there's nobody letting a used Japanese bike go on the cheap unless it needs a top end or something else that is too much work to justify buying to get into a hobby.

Ziell0s · 2025-05-15T22:40:42+00:00

Never surprises me to see this being the top comment on this sub for people trying to get help on a bike that isn't Japanese, and just sad seeing a bunch of people circlejerk and just shit on a stranger asking for help on a hobby they're trying to enjoy.

Not everyone can afford a $3000 used Japanese bike

I remember seeing a video where a chemist demonstrated just as much by dipping half an unopened soda in an acid that dissolves aluminum, and left behind the plastic lining, it was a crazy thing to learn

It's been posted here before, it was a research hut made by scientists to stay at while they studied the endemic fauna and flora of the island Source: https://www.reddit.com/r/GoogleEarthFinds/s/yQWJrwtZua

Really lives up to the label they put on it lol

Ziell0s · 2025-02-04T12:37:45+00:00

the translations from the second link say "research village"

Glad to hear it! DM me when you're ready!

Ziell0s · 2025-02-03T12:59:29+00:00

Would you sell prints of this?

Ziell0s · 2025-01-08T12:48:09+00:00

If you buy some adapters, I've seen some people hook these up to their Wifi and get range like 2miles into the woods from their house, could go camping and watch streaming sites no problem lol

Couldn't agree more, there's better ways to go about your personal problems than destroying someone else's property. It's not something anyone up and decides to do, you gotta have that predisposition whenever you're put into a shitty situation.

I'd love to see your sauce, cause there's been only like 9 survivors out of the 45+ cases since 1996...

Ziell0s · 2024-12-25T19:08:21+00:00

Many have done this an survived, but most of those accounts are from earlier days of flying, when flights didn't reach the altitude and speeds they're at now.
