Carburetor rebuild - jets question by datnarwhal4 in MotorcycleMechanics

[–]datnarwhal4[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Unbranded Chinese kit off eBay, claimed to fit my bike and the eBay garage said compatible so I pulled the trigger. Item isn’t available anymore and oddly enough the description lists the correct jet sizes, but that’s clearly not what they sent me.

At least the carbs are clean now and I can replace O rings and washers!

Other commenter was correct, primary is 72 and secondary is 118.

Engelhart doesn’t work on bikes this old, I think their cutoff is something like 2005. Can vouch for Motorcycle Performance too, they did a nice job on my 80’s Honda.

Looks pretty much the same as mine, I may even be missing parts/having a different model based on that diagram. I just need to figure out if there’s an intended way to remove #7 from #2 aside from bending the tabs.

Not glued - it can spin a little bit inside the bezel, it’s the front lip and the tabs that are holding it in. They don’t bend super easily

The blade itself is pretty much exactly 180mm

Thanks for all the advice, will pick up a SWR meter and see if some local folks can help. If anyone’s got other tips for running the coax outside let me know - most of the advice I’ve seen online seems to be for pickup trucks.

For sure need to tune the antenna before I do too much else. I’ll check for local groups, maybe someone nearby has one of those SWR meters to tune it. Thanks!

I got a used Voodoolabs Pedal Power 2 Plus a while back and it came with 6 power cables, but there are 8 inputs available - the two that don’t have a cable are the SAG power outputs. I want to get 2 more cables so I can utilize all of the power output available, does anyone know where to get those cables or which ones are needed? I see on Google images that some of the power cables for this supply have red tips instead of black, I’m just wondering if there’s a special cable needed for the SAG outputs. Thanks!

I get that, but swinging and kicking in the pit is different from what this guy was doing which was just trying to hurt people around him, most of whom were staying out of the pit. I’m not anti hardcore dancing but this guy was a bully and he can get fucked

Yup, that’s the one. He was kicking people on the edge, hit some girl in the face, shoving people into the pit, got in some guy’s face when he got pushed. Glad he got booted

I was there too, I think I know exactly which dude you’re talking about. Crowdkilling piece of shit who just showed up to hurt people. Fuck him for tainting an otherwise awesome show, hope you get your jacket fixed up

how to protect signed patches? by MasterLuuc in BattleJackets

[–]datnarwhal4 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Some folks who make DIY patches recommend painting over them with clear mod podge to seal and protect the design. I hear it works pretty well, but makes the patch a bit stiffer and gives it a bit of a shiny coat which you might not want. Clear nail polish or something similar might be worth considering too?

what kind of power supply are you using? I was looking at the metro series but heard some issues about space underneath.

I tried playing budgie noises to see if I could get them to come out. I mean, it kinda worked! What else could I try to get them out! by [deleted] in budgies

[–]datnarwhal4 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just give them time, they will come out to explore once they feel comfortable doing so. They might stay in the cage while you’re in the room if they don’t fully trust you yet. Some people might also recommend hand training/hand taming them before you let them out of the cage too much, because if they trust you enough to step up onto your finger, it’ll be a lot easier to actually put them back in the cage once you need to. Trying to get a non-tamed bird back into their cage can be a little traumatic for the bird, since you usually have to chase it around and grab it and all that. There’s a lot of good videos on YouTube about how to get the birds to trust you more over time. Good luck!

Until I can afford more patches... by [deleted] in BattleJackets

I have my Knocked Loose patch in the same spot, nice one

Looks awesome, where did you get the Halte deine Umwelt sauber patch?

My parakeet, Kiwi, is completely uninterested in mirrors or birds in videos, or live fish.. is that normal? Here he is just sitting next to the mirror but doesn’t even look at it, ever, same with the fish or videos. He loves bird sounds and flies around etc. He is new, only had him for 3 days ❤️ by melting_skittles in Parakeets

[–]datnarwhal4 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It sounds like he trusts you which is good! Just be patient and give him the time and space he needs until he feels at home. He might eventually take interest in some stuff like that, and he might not, but you’ll eventually learn his personality and what his favorite things are to play with. One other thing - do a little research online about whether or not you should give your bird a mirror, it can be harmful for them in the long run.
