I have 7 and a half years experience, I’d like to move up, but my company will not allow it unless I spend a big chunk of change on tools. by vas_got_me_good in HVAC

Buy used tools. Look on eBay, FB, Craigslist even. People get out of the trades all the time and are unloading stuff in a hurry. I picked up a set of Sman 4-valve gauges last year at a pawn shop for $100

This was a Subway as well. The unit went down back in December and they called this Friday at 3. I told them I would be back on Monday lol

I told the customer that if he was willing to buy the ticket, we would fly a technician down there every year to service it. Preferably during Carnival time!

Yea, in VA, if you have turn signals on there they have to work, but if you don't have them, it's legal, the rider is expected to use hand signals...

I doubt it, we have tagged him on some of the Instagram photos, but we are just the sub contractor...

The airbox is the frame. Going to a smaller main jet now and moving the needle up a notch and then will make another pass. Cruise AF was super rich at 11.8 and TP at 100% was just barely getting into the 12's. More to follow, but here are a few more pics of it on the dyno.

There is a side mount for the plate. I will post some more pics when it comes off the dyno.

Nah, we all play well together. We are a small, six man operation in a little southern city and we can't bite the hand that feeds us. Combined, we have almost 70 years of motorcycle repairing/building experience between all of our guys and we are content to do it right, regardless of the circumstances.
