Needles are one of the 'voodoo' parts of carbs. My gut says that the originals would have a smoother/better transition and that you should stick with them unless there's evidence that the new ones are an improvement or that they're needed to work with the new jets.

95% it's the motor. To confirm, next time it doesn't fire up give the motor a whack while it's powered up. If it starts then you'll know for sure.

My guess is that Scott overstated the shittiness of the bike's condition, and I've piloted some very questionable vehicles of all types, but not without an assessment. I might do a fly and ride for this, but with the expectation that there will possibly be a U-haul involved.

Sounds like a great way to create an adventure. Post often so we'll have a clue where it and/or you died along the way.

The last billing cycle we used 507kwh. Then I added another EV and we started using the AC, this month's usage will be just over 300kwh thanks to the solar power.

You need to open a dealership near here so I can take these off your hands.

A friend's parent's oven crapped out so they called a professional, it was deemed unfixable so they ordered a replacement which was just under $3k. Then the BS started with delays over unavailable models and and it became over $4k. Then I heard about it. I ordered an OEM heating element for under $70 and installed it, done.

Oh, and the set-up/aiming process is a joke too. He had to do a bunch of math to figure out which piece of dirt to throw it down onto because, get this...the stupid thing needs to be pointed toward the sky! Not down, not sideways, the front has to face upward!!! Stupid technology.

Yea, it's fucking nuts. Carlos brought his fucking starlink to my house and hogged up almost 2 square feet of my dirt with it. Then I stupidly decided to move it all by myself and damn near threw out my back, I can almost guarantee that monstrosity weighs over 5 lbs.

Mine is sometimes covered, mostly to protect whatever's living in it. Surprisingly, I don't use 2x4s or other stuff to create a pitch, turns out that just raising the tongue does that. Crazy huh. I'm not a pro like Mike so I don't use paracord, just whatever junk string/rope/wire is laying around.

And head dampers so he won't get sued for all the neck injuries.

That's supposedly the right way to do it, but fuck all that work, throw down a sheet of plywood and a couple screws. I used a thin piece of shit wood I had laying around (osb I think) on mine as a quick & temporary fix around 15 years ago. It's ugly, but holding up to the shit ton of scrap metal I have in it.

Counter rotation neutralizes the torque twist, duh.

One of my friends asked me about setting him up with something that'll support a couple window units. It would only take two panels, small charge controller, and a small UPS or inverter and batteries.

FUCK YOU! Did you know that we all have some level of Tourrets also? Mine sometimes gets triggered by a hammer/body part interaction. Anyway, Carlos made a good point, it's probably good for him to know about his condition and how things might differ between him and the majority.
