Head pulled off the generator.
They found the missing throttle valve shaft at 11 oclock
I think the thing at 1oclock is one of the missing screws pounded into the chamber.

Warranty company makes repair/replace decision this coming week.

Two children ordered their mother to stay in bed one Mother's Day morning. As she lay there looking forward to breakfast in bed, the smell of bacon floated up from the kitchen. But after a good long wait she finally went downstairs to investigate. She found them both sitting at the table eating bacon and eggs.
"As a surprise for Mother's Day," one explained, "we decided to cook our own breakfast."

Happy Mother's Day!

Giant wide flares added to the Ranger.
No more mud-face.

Bought for way cheaper than I could have made them.

Also a new master cylinder installed.
Easy and quick. Now have brakes again after doing a tesla one-pedal imitation for a month.

Do we know if anyone here uses a street legal side by side as a towed?

A cop show came on YouTube as we werent watching.
They busted someone for whippets, the laughing gas cartridge n2o, used for whipped cream makers.

The spousal unit asked;
Is that what you use in your pellet gun?

I explain n2o,
Explain nitrous oxide, vs co2,
and that's not what I use.

So,
A perfunctory Google search does not turn up
Co2 cartridge pressure vs n2o cartridge pressure.

So, an engineer question;
Is a n2o cartridge higher enough pressure to consider the extra cost for my co2 pistol?

I know the density equation, I don't know the pressure in the cartridge.
Heavier pellets or added fps...or squat.
(I don't even know if the physical sizes are close enough to interchange. I could machine an adapter if the value is there)

Anyone?

My garage ceiling.
I had forgotten I had done this.
I walked in after midnight and this almost knocked me down.
It doesn't show up when the lights are on.

So,
Suspension engineers are very very wrong so we add
Sumos
Airbags
Steering dampers
Sway bars
Links

But
Weight engineers are correct to the very very ounce.

Huh.
I get it now.

As always and proof is out there, emotions drive more folks thought process than logic/engineering.

Never trust a known suspended Engineer. As quiet as it kept one can only trust or carry an over weight Engineer so far.

But if you’re carrying an over weight engineer, be sure to get a four corner weigh and check those damn tire pressures.
