    Nothing fancy. 1/4" pitch conversion and West Coast Saws dogs on my 193t!! Put on a new sprocket nose and clutch assembly part (little clippy thing that holds a clutch 'plate') on my 261. Air in the tires. Helped my neighbor clean his shop a little.

    Stihl restoration

    I think the million-dollar part is a stab at humor, but the actual work is pretty amazing. The kid is no sawyer, but he sure can rehab a hunk of junk. About half an hourish, but you can skip ahead now and then and get the jist pretty well.

    can also jack up one side of a vehicle, fill the tank with chain and strap to the back tire of said vehicle, and let it idle in gear for a few hours don't do this with a LSD or welded diff lol speaking of bikes, I'm going to be snagging myself a KTM 390 Duke in a few weeks, finally time I get...

    Since this thread got a bump, I'll join in! @Naturarbo, have you considered Yoga? Some basic stretch-and-pose can build strength that's very welcome aloft.

    What's that beautiful yellow building? Looks religious.

    12 feet of 3/16 chain and gas, shaken manually, that's how I'll clean this tank, as I have so many others. It's not fun, it takes for ever, but it works. Tires will be done post haste, fear not! I know better. You don't screw around with the only thing actually touching the planet. It's kind of...

    PLEASE buy new tires for it before you ride it! Those tires are rock hard with zero traction. Would hate for you to wipe out in the first week of riding it. The bike is absolutely gorgeous! As a teen I really liked the look of those. I had a CB200T at 15 but moved on to pickup trucks soon after...

    There is some tank sealing compound that may also be a rust converter, too (guessing scour it first, rinse, dry). I had rust in my chipper tank and explored this a bit before moving to a plastic marine tank for $20. Not suitable here. Por15 is a rust converter. Don't know the applicability.

    It looks like new, Kavey. Well done. My good friend and retired machinist Bob restores old Brit bikes, masochist that he is :). He cleans/de-rusts the interior of fuel tanks with a purpose-built rotating frame that oscillates the tank he has it mounted in. Uses a handful of sheet metal...

    Steven and I are of a similar age, still cutting and climbing. For me, the plan is squeeze a couple more years out of the old frame. That involves not injuring myself pretending I’m 30 (or more) years younger lifting weights or the like. Ballroom dancing sounds ok to me, plus a happy wife. I’d...

    I think active dancing might be one of the best combined aerobic and strength training programs mixed with the most fun, that there is out there.

    Out of time-space update: Pulled two of the four plugs (she has two per cylinder) drizzled in a little Marvel Mystery Oil and let sit. Applied jumper cables. Results: Engine turned over easily and smoothly. Appears to have good compression. Spark plugs looked great, as in a little on the...
