He took out the headlight assembly, fender and his rack left a nice dent in my...

    Re: First Engine No Plans.

    When I was 8 years old, in 1955, my family and I took a driving trip from our home in Philadelphia, back to the old home place in a southern West Virginia mining town where they had lived prior to World War Two. As we approached the town, my father, rest his soul, called me to listen very...

    Skype

    Back in November 2007 I went to Italy for 2 weeks with my wife. Knowing that my Sprint cell phones didn't work, I looked for a solution to communicate with home at low or no cost. Renting a GSM enabled cell phone would have cost over $100... then I learned about Skype from a friend. I did some...

    Depending on the size, strength and length requirements, "O"-rings are usually available at Home Depot and Lowes in the hardware department. They are usually continuous, seamless neoprene... and not very expensive.

    Threading dial question

    Seriously... practice is the answer. You will find that you will develop a feel for when to engage the half-nuts... and you will have to be pretty far off to screw up your threads.

    Threading dial question

    ??? Step five is not very clear to a newguy.   The threading dial is engaged to the leadscrew even before threading starts, and once engaged remains engaged through the entire threading process.  This synchronizes the threading dial to the leadscrew.  You only disengage the half...
