Crashtd420 Posted September 21, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2020 Wayno unfortunate no room for a garden shed, we have a small property.... it's a duplex my wifes mom owns.... we live in half.... There is a huge garage outback.... 6 bays 10x20 each.. My mother in law, wife and her sister each park in one.... the 4th is technically our garden shed storage..... that's actually where I have had them hidden for while.... had to finally move them... That left me with 2, I pulled down a wall to give me a 20x20 area to park my datsun and work in... that's all I get for space, plus a little storage in the basement..... 1 Quote Link to comment

LOL Sad part is I haven't ridden any motorcycles in 10 years... My son wants the cruiser.... The black bike is just garage art now, it does run but would need a bit of love... The other is going to hopefully be a project... I'd like to build a 3 wheel with the motor and rear wheel.... or something like that.... 1 Quote Link to comment

Crashtd420 Posted September 26, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2020 (edited) Next step in garage clean up.... After I dont know how many years I finally cut the hole to install a door.... Year ago I walled up one of the garage bay double doors, at the time I was smart enough to frame it for a standard door... the idea was to gain interior space while also retaining heat and a/c better.... also gave me a good place to mount the electrical panel when we ran power out there.. next I am building a couple basic work benches to fit the space I'm left with... for now I got the door installed and bought some wood to make the benches....

wayno Posted September 28, 2020 Report Share Posted September 28, 2020 He lives in California, they micro manage everything there, it is likely what you did would need a permit and how you did it was too simple for them people, it cannot be right done that way. 2 Quote Link to comment
mainer311 Posted September 28, 2020 Report Share Posted September 28, 2020 There’s no flashing above the door, but look at the overhang on the garage. I don’t know. 2 Quote Link to comment
wayno Posted September 29, 2020 Report Share Posted September 29, 2020 I do not believe that garage is connected to the house as he says it don't have power, well legal plug in's and the like is what he likely meant, I just use extension cords myself, I have a lot of extension cords. It's just a garage/out building, my dad and me built a garage in the early 70s, it had a dirt floor, the owners of that property just tore that garage down in the past year, it made it almost 50 years, the house is close to 140 years old. 1 Quote Link to comment
thisismatt Posted September 29, 2020 Report Share Posted September 29, 2020 I'm a finish carpenter, just giving you a hard time. It was a joke, but now it's devolving. If my dad was still around I'd give him a hard time about my mom's leaky doors 2 Quote Link to comment
DanielC Posted September 29, 2020 Report Share Posted September 29, 2020 I think Thisismatt, being a finish carpenter should go to Crash420's home, and should "finish carpenter" the door. Matt, I am pretty sure the air in Massachusetts is cleaner than the air in California. 1 Quote Link to comment

I would like to make the wall look like the rest of the garage just haven't figured that out yet..... Quote Link to comment

Crashtd420 Posted October 1, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2020 Did a little work to the truck in the last few days..... I have still been feeling some vibration at times but I dont think it's my driveline.... I did an experiment on Monday, I put the rear on jack stands and got the truck running up to speed where I normally feel it and it felt rather smooth... I did find one front wheel had a little wiggle so I snugged the axle nut up and corrected that.... still need to explore that more but atleast I'm making improvements.... Next up was my drivers side window, unfortunately it's always been kind of tight going up and down since installing the felt... I had hoped after some use it would get better but it hasn't.. in fact I almost messed up the regulator.... Luckily I was able to fix up the regulator and i ended up shaving some of the felt off with a razor. I suspect the door is a bit tweaked because I did not have the same issue on the passenger side... Lastly I decided to change out my spark plugs.. the other day I made a second gear pull to around 6000 or so rpm.... the engine was not happy with that move, not sure why but it started missing for a little and then kind of cleared up..... plugs still look good with a good color.... these were purchased of Amazon before I ever heard of them being counterfeited so that might be something... The new set was bought at the parts stop.... These are b6es-11, I was running regular b6es before but decided to use the -11 for the wider factory gap... I'm trying out a set of b7es-11 after doing some reading which was saying to go 1 step colder for every 1 step increase in compression.... I'm not sure if this is true or not because the guy that helped me break in my motor said to just run what the motor originally called for.... Well I dont have points or 8.5 compression anymore. Since I have the electronic ignition I can use the wider gap, technically I should be using a b8es-11 for my compression but I'm just going to try the 7 heat range for now since I really don't have a clue if this will help or not. I even went through the effort of indexing my plugs to place the ground strap in the optimum location.... 1 Quote Link to comment
mainer311 Posted October 1, 2020 Report Share Posted October 1, 2020 After I first got my Weber installed, I switched to B7ES when I was trying to correct the overly lean condition. In hindsight, I don't think that had anything to do with it, but I left them in and it's been running fine ever since. They say that too cold of a plug will prevent carbon from burning off properly, but if it's only one step in the heat range, I don't think you'll notice much. I agree with the compression/heat range that you mentioned. I think the same applies for turbocharged cars. 2 Quote Link to comment
