I don't meet craigslist people at my house, ever. I tell them that I am in a certain town and that my street is two turns off of the nearest marked road, that it's dirt and probably impassable unless they have 4 wheel drive, and that I'm tired of trying to direct people through it all over the phone WHEN they get lost so let's just meet in the grocery store parking lot a mile from my house, it's easier that way. Which is all strictly true except it's 3 blocks from my house and I also don't want them knowing where I live. Internet tough guys I am not afraid of, stupid broke rear end crackheads and tweakers who buy rusty car parts off craigslist I most certainly am, I've got way too much cool poo poo made out of metal sitting around to see it all end up in a scrapyard due to some tweaker getting sticky fingers late one night.

When I bought my KTM 690sm off CL, the dude took me through the front door, out the back into his yard where we filled out paperwork next to his potted marijuana plant. After that he showed me his other bikes/his guitar collection. He could tell I was weirded out and shrugged happily. "See, I got nothing to hide on the bike man. I'm honest". I got more of the "Go ahead, come try to steal something and I'll show you my gun collection vibe. Cool-rear end dude though.

Found this in the manual for the zx2 That last one  . Why would you want your squishy rear end to be thrown at 60mph from a vehicle, you can't possibly think that is safe.

Made a critical traffic error this afternoon, almost caused an accident. Am thankful the lady in the Hyundai driving in my blindspot was paying attention. Cause I sure didn't see her, even after shoulder checking and with blindspot warning lights. (note that I said I didn't see her, not that she wasn't there or wasn't visible  )

Because a squishy rear end ensures a safe landing? Great time to cue the footage of the saudi guys flipping the poo poo out of a car and dude getting ejected with his arm going a different direction. E: VVVV VW spring a leak eh?  (yes, gently caress cork gaskets)

IOwnCalculus posted:I will do everything I can to never have to touch a cork gasket again. I was doing my first valve adjustments on the Beetle (every 3 to 6k miles, I hit 4k and decided it was time). On the passenger side, the gasket had been leaking onto the heater box, causing a huge oily mess, and was glued down with copper RTV. On the driver's side, the gasket was baked dry, and came off in very tiny cork chunks, only with the assistance of a gasket scraper (read: really big flathead screwdriver). I also discovered that while the passenger side head is OG, the driver's side head is a Brazilian remake, and the valves were tighter than my budget.

The only thing worse than a cork gasket is a cork make-a-gasket kit...the kind where they give you a roll of lovely cork and basically say, "here rear end in a top hat, make it yourself."

Wondered how powerful a lovely airsoft gun was so I shot it at my fridge. It was powerful enough to rip through the notes left on the fridge and dent the door. Living alone is awesome.

Goddamn the DMV is a comedy of errors. Monday: 1) Try to get title transferred fer Ferd. Get stymied by a new worker there who said I needed to show POA since the initial name did not sign it and someone did as POA. Tuesday: 2) Get POA, bring it in. Find the SECOND holder of the Title (OR thank god, not AND) signed it (still same as first), so I didn't need it. Get plates. Beg them to place POA in with title just in case. NEXT loving WEEK: 3) Get a call from DMV that the POA was out of date and I need to sign some paperwork of acknowledgement that it is out of date, basically to CYA since they gave me the plate. Remind them that secondary (OR) owner already signed it. They check. Should get a title in a few weeks.  CommieGIR posted:I will go ape poo poo with RTV before I use another cork gasket.

Yea gently caress cork gaskets. In the Datsuns, all cork is replaced with "The Right Stuff." RTV is just as bad, especially the orange junk.

It was the only poo poo that would seal the end gaskets of my old SBC the first time, every time. Geirskogul, since the ACVW engine is about as common as the SBC, I've got to imagine there are rubber gaskets out there for it.

Okay nerds (kastein?) I have a problem. My stereo recently stopped working on phono.  The black connector here, with the white poo poo around it, is the connection for the record player. When plugged in, nothing. But if I pull on it a bit, magically it spins. Is this just a bad solder joint? And if so, can I simply reflow it, or do I get to do my first repair job? I can solder and braze piping, but the only electrical I've ever done was a lovely LED light a decade ago.

Pop the board off, taking note of screws. You may not have to remove the epoxy poo poo on the top, your connections likely solders on the bottom. But I'll defer to Ken (or Motty) who can say the same things with purtier two dollar whore words.

And thanks, because I never even thought to look at the bottom. The epoxy is clearly broken off of one of the two wires, and this is a lovely picture of the soldering on the bottom.

Oh, I bought rubber replacements, and used some Permatex High-Tack on both sides of them (thin, thin coating) when installing. I've never used The Right Stuff, but I do love me some high-tack when used with appropriately-thick rubber gaskets. I am thinking about bolt-on covers in the future, though.

Motronic posted:Yep, just reflow it from the bottom. Beat me to it on both fronts. I am not sure if that cap is actually burst or if it is just a trick of the camera, but it looks burst. Replace with same type, diameter, pin spacing, same or higher voltage, same (within about 10%, but that one is nothing special so digikey/mouser/jameco/allied/newark/element14/farnell/whatever company you want will certainly have an exact match) capacitance. If the top is actually flat, you are fine, if the top is bulging, you need a new one. Check the rest of the board too and see if any others are getting fishy. Use a nice weak iron for that, no torches, no acid flux, rosin 60/40 or 63/37 alloy solder only, gently caress RoHS leadfree. Don't put too much heat into it and don't scrub at the board or you will damage the copper traces. Other than that it is pretty easy really. Oh, and that connector may just be hashed, but try reflowing it first. At least it doesn't appear to be one of the ones with an integral switch that closes when there's no plug inserted - those sometimes get nasty and have to be replaced. It actually looks like the back of a right angle SPDT slide switch. kastein fucked around with this message at 02:03 on Oct 21, 2014 |
