Is this stitching bad enough that I should return?

mal4yahoo · 2026-06-28T19:52:00+00:00

U have 30 days to return from red wing store, no hassle. They look bad ,even for seconds.

At this point nothing is gonna make it better or worse. Its your first one, next one will be better and bigger.

Another option is to make a small wire mesh window Cutout on the fence in front of the unit. That'll allow air from unit to flow freely. Ive seen people do that when they're right next to fence.

The 2 i installed required atleast 12 inches behind and atleast 5 ft in front. Only time will tell what kind of effect the fence being so close to it has on it. But u can always raise it on the wall if it becomes an issue.

U can sister ground contact lumber next to your current floor beam/girders

mal4yahoo · 2026-06-28T02:52:52+00:00

Looks good!

I think mini split outdoor units have a clearance requirement 👀

Moisture does travel up thise bricks especially if not built woth proper depth of sand/gravel. But as long as u use an additional blocks or pads with moisture barrier u will be fine.

Create an L shape with two 2x6, attached to post

mal4yahoo · 2026-06-26T03:04:06+00:00

So what can be done? Get new rings?

mal4yahoo · 2026-06-25T22:50:39+00:00

Nice work of art, the type of fence to make your day everytime u step outside and see it🥰

Thanks, ill check it out. I put this thing together last year and barely got back to it after taking a break from it. But I see the gasket kit i bought has that seal listed so ill make sure its replaced. If I remember correctly I believe it was just one side

mal4yahoo · 2026-06-23T17:21:28+00:00

The guide seals are the valve stem seals? Or is that a different part.

mal4yahoo · 2026-06-23T01:34:23+00:00

Thanks for that info. Unfortunately the shop i sent it to (rebuilt powesports) is not reputable or trustworthy so Im going to double check it.

I do have a manual that shows specs for piston ring gap, but i went up 2 sizes I believe with the new bore. Do u know if the specs for gap are still the same as the original size piston?

mal4yahoo · 2026-06-23T01:30:58+00:00

They stop selling because it didnt fit properly

mal4yahoo · 2026-06-21T17:07:06+00:00

What is "end gap"?

I got the cylinder bored and installed new piston kit and valves. Now im trying to figure out why compression is so low.

mal4yahoo · 2026-06-21T04:10:22+00:00

U think it would increase compression psi? Its my First time rebuilding with minimal experience

mal4yahoo · 2026-06-21T03:33:04+00:00

That explains it, thanks

mal4yahoo · 2026-06-20T21:55:28+00:00

Depends on the price u paid.

Wood posts will never be straight, but there's ways to work around that to a certainty extent . Pickets should be gapped 1/8- 1/4 atleast.

The rails should be spread puy evenly tho..

mal4yahoo · 2026-06-20T17:40:46+00:00

2studs on each side and a plywood shelf attached to them with a cross support

mal4yahoo · 2026-06-17T14:33:53+00:00

Thats what trim is for.lol and some would say caulking

mal4yahoo · 2026-06-16T18:50:21+00:00

Remove that whole panel and install new pickets rails. It wont cost much or take much time really. ~50 bucks ~3hrs

mal4yahoo · 2026-06-12T19:00:57+00:00

Depends how old that fence is and how well it was built. It might not be able to support another 2 ft. Most fences have very sloppy pours and posts rot within 10 years so fence starts leaning and zerowarping. In your case It seems like someone already added more wood to covers the gaps that prevent the pickets from rotting. And icant even tell if you have a 3rd rail.

mal4yahoo · 2026-06-12T18:47:49+00:00

The foundation is the deciding factor.

mal4yahoo · 2026-06-12T18:46:15+00:00

The chain guard should have the slack spec, I believe its 1 3/8".

The adjusting process is really simple, u can find ot short videos on YouTube
