    non alcoholic beer

    Most of the issue with a lot of import beers in the US is the age of the beer - you are tasting staling flavors and oxidation. The shelf life put on most of those beers is a year plus and they will all taste like chit.

    2010 VX1100 Oil Change

    on my 2021 Sea Doo which also uses a dry sump - I use a vacuum extractor to suck out the pan, like you said you get a 3/4 of the oil out that way. Sea Doo has a function where if you hold the throttle wide open ( think its called flooded engine mode) when you hit the starter - engine spins...

What I noticed is the driveshaft bellows getting stiff and chaffing the outside edges by the gimbal ring and the hinge pins starting to wear. you have to be laying on...

    2012 3.0L TKS runs great with muffs, but slow on lake...

    make sure you get the idle speed fixed as that thunk is the dog clutch being hammered more than usual. You may also have issue coming out of gear at the higher speed as well. Bottom line dont leave it this way.

    Upgrade to 4bbl, what about throttle cable bracket?

    It has to be because none of us are mechanical idiots. Also I think people defintiely migrate to what they like and stick with it, which is normal. What always amazes me is the shade that Q jets get. When you look at how many different applications it was used on its staggering

    Upgrade to 4bbl, what about throttle cable bracket?

    Must be that all of these manufacturers have a lot of QC variance. Every carb thread ends up like this- polar opposite experience with same carb manufacturers/styles. On a good note the carb threads make the oil threads look interesting...

    Showing my Tri-axle Trailer some TLC . . .

    We just got rid of our mini. In a final parting shot the radiator started leaking, which requires the front fascia to be removed. Hands down the most maintenace i have ever had to do on a car, and we only put 50 k miles on it (74 to 115 k) over 6-8 years.
