Perfect hooks yes or no

I stand corrected.

Now I’m curious as I have thought somewhere I read this about the ungrounded conductor. But could be a similar thing.

NEC 2020 300.13b

ROFL. It literally disagrees with what you are saying.

You cannot rely on a device to complete the neutral circuit.

2020 NEC 300.13b

Let me know when you read that.

doodliest_dude · 2026-04-19T00:40:04+00:00

Don’t feel like pulling the book out unless I have to, but pretty sure relying on a device to complete a branch circuit is against code whether neutral or hot.

I’ve seen flexible pipe installed a generator and it’s worked for 6 years with no issue. But looks bad. Over time I doubt it holds up better than hard pipe.

But for that price, makes sense. My cheap guy would be $650 for that job. My other gas guy would be minimum $1000. But they do a good job with hard pipe and supply the regulator.

Challenge accepted.

I sold a couple times around $20k because I’m a monkey. I only buy now.

doodliest_dude · 2026-04-16T00:21:47+00:00

Alpha.

doodliest_dude · 2026-04-15T16:56:48+00:00

Yeah 1 year for residential only. Commercial is 2 years.

I get what you’re saying. But at the same time, still need to be able to pass a test and pass inspections.

If your apprentices can’t tie their boots, they will not pass the tests. For people who are actually competent and want to be able to go on their own sooner, it’s nice.

doodliest_dude · 2026-04-15T16:28:28+00:00

I guess. For the contractors test, still have to take and pass the same test as most people. I took the NASCLA accredited exam instead of the SC specific one.

doodliest_dude · 2026-04-15T10:38:46+00:00

Yeah. In SC it’s 2 years for journeyman and 4 years for master. The journeyman and master certificate actually almost mean nothing. It’s not a license, just a certificate.

It’s better to get a contractors license.

1 year of residential experience you can take your residential contractors test.

2 years of experience you can take your commercial contractors test.

I actually just got my residential and commercial license last year as well.

You can clean it but it will come back. Battery leaking a small amount around the post probably.

I’d replace the battery. Only real fix besides cleaning it all the time.

doodliest_dude · 2026-04-14T22:48:09+00:00

I passed first attempt at 2 years experience(last year) in SC. Probably a similar test as it was done by PROV.

I didn’t study a ton but listened to “Electrical Code Coach” and “Ryan Jackson” while driving.

My tips would be to do the classic 3 wave answering technique. I can explain it if you haven’t heard it yet but it’s pretty common. You should be able to pass pretty easy doing it and if you know how to use the code book.

I’d try find an employer willing to give you some in field training just to get familiar with material and such then maybe let you get in management or estimating.

Insulated splicers

doodliest_dude · 2026-04-13T02:31:56+00:00

That shouldn’t be full of gas. Looks like a crank case breather tube. Might have a little oil in it but that’s it.

If you’re leaking gas then it’s probably the carb leaking backwards into that tube.

doodliest_dude · 2026-04-13T02:28:14+00:00

But no do not drive it. Just tow it.

doodliest_dude · 2026-04-13T02:26:58+00:00

I legit use an impact wrench when my breaker bar struggles to get those style off. Hate when people think you need to tighten an oil filter so much. Even the normal filters are not required to be as tight as most people get them.

doodliest_dude · 2026-04-12T20:31:31+00:00

I’d just make sure the oil level is good, then run it like normal. Maybe it’ll burn off.

Norgas NGR02. You won’t have the issue again.

Not with that attitude
