what did you wrench on today??

[cowboyup3371]

I painted today and tried to do the electrolysis thing but not sure how good it did. Plus I'd gone inside for a bit while doing one of the footpeg mounts and the anode and mount touched each other while I was in there. Hopefully the charger isn't fried.

Here's what the parts look like (sorry for picture quality, the Girlfriend's camera doesn't have a flash to take indoor pics).

Changed oil in the Suburban, think I might have found the coolant leak, did a little bit of plowing, now I'm off to my shop to work on carving the new neck some more for the bass fiddle I'm repairing.

My 79 GS 750L. Check valves and install carbs after cleaning them, and sync them. Also did compression test. Not good. Ranges 115 to 135. A teaspoon of oil and they all came up. I am trying to decide whether to go ahead and rebuild it or not. It is no longer my primary motorcycle.

Added three more shop lights in my garage. Now I can see when I work on the bike at night.

I have not worked on anything to get my fingernails dirty for over a week now, and it's driving me crazy.
I know, it's a short trip.

However, I am looking forward to helping out a GSer this weekend.

Looking forward to getting a Skunk purring.

Finally getting to the home stretch... Changed out some bolts with new... Maybe I should call this thing Ace after all the new bolts. Been going over electrical and getting it buttoned up. Want it to roar (as much as a 425 can) on her very first push of the starter.

The GT750's fuel system is now rehabbed and it now runs! As soon as the fuel hit the carbs, it fired up with that wonderful sound and filled the shop up with smoke. I had to rob the battery out of the '77 GS, but since that GS is my jewel, it'll get a new one. All that needs to be done is the master cylinder kit, clean out the exhaust, finish cleaning it up, and polish the aluminum.

Any pic's/ video?

Daniel, I have a few, but having trouble getting them off of the hard drive and onto my GSR album. It's never happened before.

Dug myself and my stepmom out from last nights snowfall..

[DanTheMan]

Still working on the string bass. I'll have to post a few picts of it as I put it back together. Right now, it's just boring sanding and carving on the neck.

[schlyme]

gave my honda shadow an oil change. also think i found where the fork oil leak on my 81 gs1100e is coming from, and i have those o-ring too

Changed thermostat in 1993 Mercury Sable. Temp gauge would shoot up way too quickly, and went into the danger zone twice for a few seconds, before falling just as rapidly. I hypothesized that the old thermostate was sticking. So far, the problem hasn't reoccurred with the replacement. I've changed thermostats in almost every car I've owned, and this is the first time that it seems to have made a difference.

In the process, I bought an additional ratchet set a bit better adapted to the limited access. Gear Wrench Vortex system.

Installed a new belt on the vacuum cleaner.....

put new pegs on a 67 Yammi YL2, finally put the new accelerator pump and #2 carb bowl gasket on my 80 CB900C, also tore down an old FZX700 motor.

Finished stripping this...



Pulled the engine and put it on my Suzuki stand...



Aftermath...



Pulled in the Cooley for surgery...



Didn't get much done today.



Oh, got hired for a new job before I got home from the interview at 7 A.M.
(The phone was ringing when I walked into the house.)

And, got another job offer this evening after I pulled the Cooley in.
