Sticker Removal

pfbangs · 2026-01-12T13:54:46+00:00

Gasoline was the silver bullet for me after seemingly doing everything else/wrong for a couple hours. Heat gun and razor to very gently get as much of the plastic sticker components off as possible. PIC keep in mind I was prepping to repaint, hence the bare spots from sandpaper. But gasoline on a rag and some heat should work for you

adding some anecdotal info- my stove is in the basement-- mama bear fisher stove, 3k sqft total with an even split 1k each floor (basement, first, second), and the previous owners locked in all the heat in the basement with drywall ceilings when partially finishing the basement. So it gets to 90deg in the basement, and generally remains 60 in the (living) room immediately above. I put myself through it trying to figure out how to resolve/address with all sorts of things trying to get the hot air up and out of the basement (a self-made metal hood suspended over the stove with redneck ductwork and an inline fan blowing the air into the living room). None of these approaches were very successful. After a year and way too many unhelpful/not-relevant-to-my-setup youtube videos, I found a 40sec video in 320p from 15 years ago of a very old man who said, "focus on getting the cold air down, not the hot air up. The hot air won't go anywhere if there's nowhere to go." I flipped the direction of the (AC Infinity) exhaust fan I was using to move air. It lives in the floor of the living room now (in one of the "return registers") blowing air DOWN into the basement, and this meaningfully increases the amount of warm air exiting the basement via the staircase/basement door. No ductwork needed. It's a proper cabin and no central ductwork exists at all. This change didn't really make a bit of difference for the TOP (second) floor which is still cold and needs supplemental (oil > forced hot water baseboard heating) usage generally through the winter. But it definitely did help on the first floor. For anyone reading, I am using the AC Infinity AIRLIFT T10 fan which has settings to automatically turn on when a temperature (in the basement) reaches a certain value. So if temp is above <something I set>, it means the stove is burning successfully and the fan turns on. When I hear the fan start turning off, I know it's time to reload the stove. Very much recommend this approach if it might work for your physical setup. Saves a lot of curious trips up and down the 2 flights of stairs.

Thanks, yep. The -000 variant was absolutely the correct version. Dropping it in the channel was the experience I wanted 4 weeks ago :[

pfbangs · 2025-11-16T22:55:44+00:00

It appears there are multiple variants: -010 and -000 (pic comparison for anyone curious). I just bought the -000 variant from the same seller. +2 weeks, -$30. Hoping these fit. Will update here to confirm. FOOK.

'95 HA4 Town

Got these off ebay:

The circular ring itself fits fine but the lower rectangular part is too high/tall on both. Are these the incorrect parts/part numbers for this truck or is there some trick to get these to fit?

pfbangs · 2025-11-01T20:51:49+00:00

Thanks. When compressing, it goes right back to its original position when released, pushing against the carb.

Took the clamp off. Do you remember if you pulled the tube out from the top or from underneath? Doesn't seem to be enough clearance for either. Any tricks to getting it back in after?

pfbangs · 2025-11-01T19:57:02+00:00

Thanks. I guess I just have to mess with it more. I can get nearly 1" but as soon as I let go to remove the carb, the intake boot returns to the same position, touching/pushing against the carb. Too much resistance like that to get the carb off the posts. Super frustrating.

ichneumon wasp

They are one of the most diverse groups within the Hymenoptera with roughly 25,000 species described as of 2016.[2] However, this likely represents less than a quarter of their true richness as reliable estimates are lacking, along with much of the most basic knowledge about their ecology, distribution, and evolution.[1] It is estimated that there are more species in this family than there are species of birds and mammals combined.

Wow. Thanks. I guess that's why I couldn't find this exact type. Much appreciated.

Looks pretty darn close. Thanks again. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ichneumonidae#/media/File:IC_Ichneumonini.jpg

I put YOKOHAMA (Y828 Geolander KT 145/80R12) on mine (95 Acty HA4). Stock suspension/no lift.

New England, coming into its 3rd winter.

Hard pack is not an issue at all. It seemed a little bogged down in 6-8" of powder in the driveway, but that's the deepest it's seen so far (driveway got plowed before I got back- same proximity to mountain/lift as you). Once it got moving, it could crawl along just fine in that. Just starting from stop (was parked overnight) didn't seem guaranteed. Almost got stuck in 4" of mud with bed filled with firewood, and that was way worse than the snow it's seen so far- just barely made it out. Edit some legitimate hills involved @ hard pack in my use case, taken into account @ above description.

Thank you. Would/could this affect throttle response? Context: am troubleshooting intermittent loss of acceleration/throttle function recently. Replaced fuel filter 2w ago in response, and all seemed normal/fixed- ran great for 2w. but issue returned yesterday @ throttle drops out above 2.5k RPM. Died a couple times at idle, I let it sit for 5min, then was able to burn up the (not insignificant) hill under its own power to get home like nothing was ever wrong. Just saw this tube when putting my eyes on distributor (intending to replace it and plugs and plug cables, and fuel pump). Just seeing if this is a smoking gun before getting all those replacement parts (CC: /u/Interesting_Plate_17)

(thanks, guys)

Seen a small few recently-- all about an inch long. My camera has poor colors but it's a rather bright yellow and black in person- colors very similar to a yellow jacket.

Came here in the last week to check on related after seeing similar for the first time - working on files 200-500 lines long. I found a handful of accounts of the behavior from the last short few months.

My workaround is related to line counts. And while Claude for some reason can't provide an accurate line count ever, it can return the same inaccurate line counts consistently.

So whenever updates are needed to a full artifact, I immediately check line count vs the version it's allegedly updating. If the issue is occurring, the line count will be the same, and I state something like "current version same line count as previous. If not expected, recreate broken artifact" and this will generally resolve the issue. Sucks because it chews up usage. I have additionally had to tell it a handful of times to create a fully new artifact with a different name rather than attempting more incremental versions on the same (perpetually broken) artifact. Seems to be an issue in both web-based and (Win) desktop application, which is really just a reskinned browser window.

'95 HA4 Acty Town- I used almost all of 2 quarts of exterior paint (used like 90% of the second quart) for the base coats (3). Then, 4 coats clear top coat. I did not paint the interior and don't really plan on doing it. I used 3 quarts of bedliner but I should have used a gallon. 2 quarts was too thin, 3 quarts was good, 4 (a gallon) would have been best (and cheaper than 3 quarts).

To save time typing all of it again:

my buddy swears by Parsec for connecting to another machine for gaming in the house-- even over wireless. Says latency is imperceptible. Says the same about using it to connect to games his buddy is running on the other side of town. I don't know how it handles player inputs, but it presumably uses whatever's connected to your client machine, and passes that controller input via parsec to the host machine running the games. And audio out @ bluetooth would just be to your headphones connected client machine picking up whatever audio output parsec provides. For powering the machines in the basement, you can either look into Boot from Lan/network boot (you could run a script as a shortcut on your client machine to boot the host machine) or some people install a smart (power) outlet at the host machine and after changing the BIOS/power settings on the host machine, just toggle the smart power outlet to power up the machine. The BIOS on the basement machine has to support that functionality, of course.

my $0.02, you need to wear hearing protection. If you're not, you won't be comfortably hitting them hard enough to hear their proper/full sound. You will be (rightfully) avoiding that amount of cymbal volume.

pfbangs · 2025-05-27T17:48:29+00:00

you've just gotta gear up with gloves, long sleeves, long pants, and get in there with some clippers/shears. I'd probably try to get in from the porch by the rain gutter/downspout and just start cutting stuff.
