Do any of you guys ride old goldwings? My roommate picked up a GL1100 last week as a project. Just looking for good parts sources and maybe a little help.
Thanks Mike
Alright I am getting started on my first bike build. I picked up a 1970 Honda CB450K3 a little while back. So far I have gone through the electrical system and new pitcock and fuel lines. I cleaned the carbs but still can't get it to run well. Tonight I will be rebuilding the carbs and putting...
When you turn the dishwasher on, it doesn't pump any water in. The thing in the bottom barely spins as the water bubbles out of the holes in it. Any ideas?
It cranks and idles fine. Once you take it off idle it stumbles and dies. Pulled the tank and the filter is clean as is the air filter. Could there be a piece of trash stuck in the jet? Fuel pump dying?
I know that a few of you ride old CB/CLs. I am going to look at a CB 450 tomorrow and was looking for recommendations on sourcing parts. Anyone that has been a good vendor and let me know who you have had problems with. The one I am going to look at is a basket case. If I get it, I am going to...
Those of you who have a wood shop what bandsaws do you like and why? I am thinking that I want a 14" for resawing lumber. If I look at an older bandsaw what should I look out for?
I went to change the collet on my router last night and there is a screw in the bottom of it that threads in to the shaft of the router. The damn screw head is stripped and I don't know how to get it out. Of course it is my 1/4" collet and most of my bits are 1/2". Any ideas?
I got tired of my roommate bitching about have to tinker with my lawn mower to get it to run perfect. So this weekend I picked up a reel mower. It is completely manual. He is ok with the idea being a borderline hippie. I have done some reading on how to sharpen the blades and how to adjust them...
I am about to start a couple of woodworking projects and I am looking for recommendations on hand planes and spoke shaves. Anyone with any recommendations? I am on a bit of a budget but I am completely willing to spend a little extra for a quality tool.
Does anyone know of any lumber yards in ATL that have a good selection of odd and non-native lumber? I am looking for Western Red Cedar specifically. I would like something to contrast with the cedar as well. If anyone has any recommendations let me know. Thanks.

I picked up a new to me car today and i has one issue. It has a intermittent rolling idle. I am thinking it is either the EGR valve is sticking or the IAC. Anyone have any experience with them?
Last night I had a one in a million problem with my 40 that you all should know about. I was driving my truck and the brake hose that goes from the body to the front axle collapsed. This in turn kept pressure on my front brakes and created a lot of heat. I had been putting off rebuilding my...
I have searched and couldn't find my problem. My 40, that I am DDing once again, will not get into the "normal" operating range on my gauge. As a result, I have no heat inside. I just put a new Toyota thermostat in and no luck. I just went for an hour drive in it and even at highway speeds (what...
A good friend of mine in Tucson just bought an '85 fj60 last week. He went to go and pick it up in CA Friday to drive it home and on his way it died. He had it towed to a Toyota dealership (I don't know where) and they told him that the igniter needs to be replaced. Is there anyone that could...
I am looking at taking a job just north of Keene, NH. I was curious if any of you were familiar with the area. I may need help finding somewhere to stay and curious what rent would run me. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
