Did the front pads and rotors on my Windstar POS. They were only half worn but it had a stupid shake in it from a warped rotor so rather than waiting until it was -25C out I did them. A put on new rotors so now I'll just get the old ones turned and have a spare set for next time. Not enough "o's" in boooooring to describe that job.

time to give the skunks a tidy up and ride to keep them in shape
amazing how they breakdown even when not being used
chucks skunk fuel line gave up typical of that crappy clear line that goes rock hard
replaced with the black rubber line used oem
then the usual tyre pumping / fuel draining / refuel etc etc

Washed compounded and polished the family car....
Public service announcement......
If anyone is contemplating buying a new or used Honda automobile (used for us), dont waste your money on their "protect all" BS paint protection...Being it was the nicest vehicle we were to own, and a long term ownership, I figured it would be a good thing. Within months the paint had stains (white car to make it worse), from parking near a tree, the overall luster turned dull, and even after waxing it, it still looked like sh1t. This summer the paint began to oxidize.
It looks great now and i am pleased.
In hindsight, I'll admit i was a victm of really good salesmanship......sigpic

Finally got around to mounting the 3G antenna mast properly and can now say it's done. Easy to raise and lower too, with a block and tackle, to allow the addition/subtraction of various yagi configurations. It's a bit taller than the old temporary (which was up 7 years) affair, and helps to get the signal over the trees just a little more.

Got all the carbs ripped apart on the 1100 and ran them in the sonic cleaner. Going to have to slot #1 and #2 a little to get the fuel screws out. Both backed most of the way out then stripped the heads right near the top where the threads were gunked up. I did learn something though to pass along. If you use a sonic cleaner like I do, run them at full temp (60C for me) for the longest setting you have (30 Minutes on mine) then wear some gloves and go after the fuel screws while everything is piping hot and wet right out of the cleaner. I did this on #3 and #4 carbs and barely felt any resistance at all near the top of the threads where the other two got stuck. Sigh. Just once I'd like to have an old Suzuki that didn't contribute to the further receding of my hair line or to the bank of grey hairs by this point I'm sure I am acquiring. Will be ordering the Dynojet kit from Z1 this coming week and then getting the APE pods from Pingel the week after that. I already have the o-rings from Robert and the cap head hardware for the bowls and caps from Z1. Maybe tomorrow I'll go raid Lowes for the cap head screws I need for the carb rack.Comment
