    Thanks, it's been a lot of work. Pretty much anything that doesn't look store bought I made or altered for my purposes. Light and plumbing fixtures too. The family and a few friends helped here and there, but it was mostly me. Glad to be moved in, and planning a detailed video when I finish to...

    Don't be scared. I'm pretty confident in it. It's been running for a week straight now, and all is well. Still don't like the little wobble from the axle, u can see it towards the end of the vid. It does it without the fan head on there so it's gotta be the axle is slightly bent. Im not sure...

    Well the ceiling fan is up, and been running for a week straight now. I'm thinking I will get a new axle for it. You can see the axle nut going in a tiny circle when it is running, so it's got just a very slight bend. I can hear a kinda low frequency vibration noise standing in one spot in the...

    My yamaha windmill ceiling fan is alive!! Not installed yet, but it is working. Probably install next weekend, gonna need 6 guys. We decided not to weld the carrier to the plate. Thought it might be too rigid, and the welds could crack. So used the carrier bolts with some locknuts and red...

    be nice lol

    What about your idle screw??? You said you only had one screw, that would be your air screw, without an idle screw it won't idle properly

    be nice lol

    If the carb still has the tors brick on top, then you will need to take the seat off to adjust the idle screw. If the tors has been removed, then you will need to add an idle screw to the carb

    Alright guys, I came up with an idea to fix global warming. The human body puts off quite a bit of heat and co2 just from breathing. So we just need to convince (most) everybody to hold their breath for 30 minutes. Guaranteed to solve global warming, and make the world a better place! Haven't...

    Porting and polishing

    I would go for an aftermarket pipe, before porting, or both lol. Anything but dg is an improvement over stock. Get an aftermarket foam filter, and leave the airbox lid off, and you will definitely gain some power. Make sure to up your main jet to account for any mods!

    Oil Tank / mix

    The oil pump is inside the clutch cover on the side. You will see two hoses entering the cover. One leads to the oil tank, other back to the carb. Pull the line off the carb while the engine is running, and see if oil is coming out.
