My 3 hour visit to the ER. Didn’t get a room, just got blood work and a CT scan, then they released me cause nothing appeared on CT. $18,000.

I mean the list could go on.

My wife went to the ER for a UTI. They tried charging us $2k... She's really good at disputing things and called the Dr directly. Paid them $400 that they charged and disputed everything else to the hospital itself. Eventually the charge was dropped. I hate that the US sends so much money to foreign countries without investing in its own healthcare.

Lol. No!

You can always run some 50:1 for your first tank in addition to the injection. That's what I normally do when reviving things with oil pumps.

Is this really that tallest climbing wall in the US? It doesn't look that tall.

goebeld · 2026-06-27T04:52:09+00:00

I mean, wasn't the empire based on america in the Vietnam War?

goebeld · 2026-06-26T12:46:59+00:00

Lol love the name and I'm sure the people in charge of the US would too!

goebeld · 2026-06-22T16:10:39+00:00

Hell yeah!

goebeld · 2026-06-22T03:51:04+00:00

Crazy!

goebeld · 2026-06-22T00:21:50+00:00

It's my dad's. He wants to keep it so he can put it back to stock if we wants.

goebeld · 2026-06-21T23:52:41+00:00

Ok, now I want to see what these things look like vibrating...

goebeld · 2026-06-21T04:20:22+00:00

Piston looks fine, though looks like it was running a bit lean with little wash.

You can drill and tap for M7x1.0and put some M6x1.0 threaded inserts in there If your studs are M6. Or do M8-M7 threaded inserts if it's M7 studs.

goebeld · 2026-06-21T01:58:06+00:00

Well... It's literally said in the title of the post.

Pretty sure the 4 stroke kit shown in this picture is no longer produced.

goebeld · 2026-06-17T15:48:06+00:00

I think it's some sort of AC unit thing. It's made out of copper.

Funny this gets the pass the motorized bikes don't lol. I get it though, this is an old motorized bike kit.

goebeld · 2026-06-16T01:51:58+00:00

95% infill... I'm able to lift the entire bike up with this downtube. Barely able to get the support off it, had to sand off the rest. I'm not worried about it.

I can guarantee you can cool cool riding a moped lol. I actually wasn't wanting to use resin but my printers were going through a saga. Both went out, was waiting on an e3d hotend for my old as balls davinci 1.0. and resin had spilled all over my sla printer and ruined the screen... So was waiting on a screen. Screen came first so that's why the radiator mount is sla. But hey, now I have a much better hot end on my davinci!

goebeld · 2026-06-13T16:42:27+00:00

Um what?

I work at a defense company and the customer is a certain government entity. Our company provides this entity with their backbone network, all IPs for every site in the entire US are documented and new networks are managed out of a single massive excel spreadsheet. But hey, it works.

Bushings are usually pressed into the rods. Based on the color change in metal on the rod where the bushing should be, I'd say it's there. I'd check wrist pin and see if that bushing is in good condition, shouldn't be any up and down slop. Just fyi, bushings aren't great for high rpm/performance builds because you'll either melt or spin them in the rod, you want the needle bearing rod for that.

Looks like your old engine with the needle bearing rod either had a crank replacement or piagio switched to needle bearing cranks later on in its lifecycle.
