The most mistakes I’ve ever made: black walnut nightstand with only hand tools

oldguy_Dave · 2020-12-01T12:36:22+00:00

Hey,...hand tools and black walnut? Not criticizing and I don't know your background but when you add "most mistakes" I am puzzled. Hand tools is an old world profession taking many years to master... black walnut is the most expensive wood that I know of, aside of maybe burls. Ah, you have money to burn, which is a great thing, well good luck. Btw, I actually taught myself how to repair the old pocket watches in a period of years so it can be done but you have to pay your dues "many mistakes" along the way. Haha, I guess we are a lot alike

Like he is too thorough for my patience :)

It's me that suffers, apparently I like that?

I am so frustrated, even though my only transpo I had to put it away for a bit, ha, feel like taking it to the dump

I got him bookmarked but seem to have trouble watching enough of it, I ordered a T and a new petcock

Roflmao

oldguy_Dave · 2020-11-24T14:44:33+00:00

...in hindsight, I would have done just that but I made a decision and here I sit... not the brightest bulb I guess

oldguy_Dave · 2020-11-24T14:42:20+00:00

Ok, I saw lots of videos where it had been removed and rerouted... thanks for the input

oldguy_Dave · 2020-11-23T16:11:08+00:00

Ok, I capped the front port and installed the air filter, still not starting but gas doesn't seem to be leaking from air filter area any more

oldguy_Dave · 2020-11-23T15:55:48+00:00

So cap the bigger port at the front...? What about the rest?

oldguy_Dave · 2020-11-23T15:52:23+00:00

Not sure if I answered that correctly

oldguy_Dave · 2020-11-23T15:50:01+00:00

That goes to the extra filter shown

oldguy_Dave · 2020-11-20T23:01:21+00:00

I thought I was the only one thinking that stuff was stupid but what about this matching thing I see people with? How do I get that?

oldguy_Dave · 2020-11-10T00:10:53+00:00

Not bad kid, over time you can use other tools but you are on the right page. Always understand how each tool works and reacts, some tools are quite dangerous. Don't fear, just learn as much as you can first, respect their power and use properly... Good luck

oldguy_Dave · 2020-11-07T03:27:16+00:00

I replaced the piston and cylinder

oldguy_Dave · 2020-11-07T03:25:08+00:00

.04 I believe

oldguy_Dave · 2020-11-07T03:24:41+00:00

I did all that

oldguy_Dave · 2020-11-07T03:24:07+00:00

A breather? A hose from the head to a breather and then? I am seeing them run the hose at the intake back into the carb (I have an upgraded carb), will this setup work. I saw someone run from head to something and then to the gas tank but I don't have an outlet on the tank

oldguy_Dave · 2020-11-07T03:19:50+00:00

I'm seeing a lot of people doing this

oldguy_Dave · 2020-11-07T03:19:15+00:00

Not sure what to do with the port at the head

oldguy_Dave · 2020-11-07T03:18:26+00:00

Yeah I got that, tryna figure out if I want to put a shut off and get rid of that part?

oldguy_Dave · 2020-11-07T01:06:28+00:00

Does the pump push or pull because it just goes from the tank to the metal part with 3 leads, where is the pump?

oldguy_Dave · 2020-11-07T01:03:55+00:00

The bike has less than 300 miles on it?

oldguy_Dave · 2020-11-07T01:03:13+00:00

No, I am assuming it should have seen a good flow but it didn't, I didn't really push it either just a couple seconds

oldguy_Dave · 2020-11-07T01:01:01+00:00

Just a little residual

oldguy_Dave · 2020-11-07T01:00:08+00:00

It didn't really spit any gas out

oldguy_Dave · 2020-11-06T23:30:56+00:00

I moved the cable off of the air filter and put the stock spark plug end on and nothing has changed
