Yeah , went with 6-12 pitch on the truss so I would have some storage space. Will probably put some flooring up there, enough to get me 8ft wide the legnth of the garage (32ft)

Had a visitor stop by the house today, for a fish dinner.

Cool man. We have a few of those flying above the house, most of the time. They seem to really like my little dog! I'm just hoping they don't decide to have her for dinner one afternoon!

Here is my latest nightmare project! I picked up this 1991 Yamaha Moto4 Champ for my little boy. I was tierd of his china crap atv, which was way too small to go up the atv trails, so I found this for $80.00. Guy said everything was good with exception of the carb. I brought it home, cleaned the carb and found someone had left gas in it for years as it sat. Ordered a new carb $125.00 from ebay and installed it. Still wouldn't start....ok. So I did a compression test. Ohhh, 30lbs tops on three tests...errrrrrrrrrrr......I've not torn apart engines to redo them before, and very hesitant to do it on this thing. I downloaded the service/repair manual, which is very comprehensive, but I don't think I am ready to try and fix it...I have no idea where to start, much less the tools required. I can get parts for it still, but I understand they are VERY expensive from Yamaha. I want to learn to re-build motors, but self taught may not be the way to go in this case.....Would you guys dig into it?

[thecurti]

Sure would tear into it . Not much to lose.
I'm putting new rear bearings in my stepsons Polaris 90 sportsman and will be selling it after that

[stuff4mason]

I donno. I went and bought a digital caliper today. Think that would come in very handy while trying to figure out if block is bad....Mike - no comment? Are you guys getting tierd of the G8 club already?

[Mike Mac]

Jim, not at all. I would just take it out, take it apart, then take to a bike machine shop and have them tell whats wrong, and how much to fix. They may have used parts that you can use or a whole motor. Never know what people have that do it all day long!!

Good deal on the caliper

[CajunLoneWolf]

Jim I agree with everyone tear it apart what do you have to lose
Man the thread was getting kinda low on the list. What's up guys yall have sure been quiet lately. About the only thing going on here is rain rain and a side of rain ughhhh
