It’s all “Fuel, Air, Spark”. Start with that theory.

>>2792700
I... don't follow

>>2792701
With any small engine, you just need to diagnose those 3 things, air, fuel, and spark.

Air is super easy, make sure the air filter isn’t clogged and there’s nothing jammed in there.

Spark, you can hold the spark plug against the block and pull the cord and see if it sparks. Or get an inline spark plug tester. If no spark, it’s either bad spark plug/wire, or the ignition coil, or whatever type of cutoff switch a small engine may have which cuts the ignition.

Fuel, try to start it on starter fluid. If she runs on starter fluid, you have a fuel delivery problem. Check the fuel lines, clean or rebuild or replace the carb.

It’s pretty much the same with cars except each one of those “Air, Fuel, Spark” systems has many extra parts and parameters that need to be met for it to work properly, like you have security interlocks before you get spark and electric fuel pumps and injectors. Find which system has the issue, and work through that system to find the culprit.

> on behalf of white people everywhere I apologize.

Did you know that the white is a made-up phenomena? People are Hungarian or Irish or polish etc. - there's no white. So you have to be more specific about the nationality, so we can make fun of them better.

As for your repairs, please illuminate us, on how you did not have it properly inspected, before purchasing the property. if you purchased it properly, acquiring the property by paying the unpaid property taxes, instead of waiting for it to go retail and list like any other maroon, then if this is the only problem, I'd say you have it made.

>>2792668
Generic whitefolk. I don't care where their ancestors fornicated.

The damage was concealed behind poorly installed drywall. The dip in the floor is (was) behind and under the vanity, the inspector could not have seen it. The cement board that was on the floor seems to have bridged the valley for the tile, so to speak.

In general the house was patched up convincingly enough on the surface. We did see the extra height and knew they had layered a second floor on, not uncommon and we had planned to remodel the bath (and kitchen) in any case.

The kitchen is next with similar layering of floor in there but we can see the joists for that from the utility room and we know it's not messed up like the bathroom wall. The tile job in the kitchen is absolute shit. I hate pulling up cement backer, with any luck it will also have the too-short screws which made it a little easier.

Fortunately it's a bog standard 1970s vintage house so setting up a nicer than rental spec bathroom doesn't take all that much.

Yes, lots of volume for a very minimal trailer, and not for heavy duty use. Maybe this shit for main body walls and roof, with PVC pipe or other dis-mountable frames. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Suntuf-26-in-x-12-ft-Corrugated-Polycarbonate-Roof-Panel-in-White-101892/100041353
Doesn't need to be 110% water tight when being towed, but should be mostly rain tight and fairly dust tight when parked for extended period.

Primary uses would be:
1)Storage Unit I can legally park on the street when attached to one of my other motor-vehicle beater "storage on the street" units (neighbors luv me!, no really, LOL, I'm that guy who can move couches for them or pick up bikes from shop, etc).
2)Small construction site/security office.
3)Camping and SHTF emergency housing.

Thots, opinions and recommendations?

The Standard for application calls for a check for adhesion by wiping off any excess and putting on and pulling off a piece of tape. That gives me a little more confidence in trying a cheap setup so I'm probably gonna give it a try anyway.

I've never used or applied it but I do have a lot of media blasting experience and between that and reading up on it I can say that the size of the particles will be a significant issue using generic media blasting equipment, as will the need for scrupulous cleanliness of both the work and the blast media. Regular media blasting is not a clean process.

Even shooting media in the 220 grit range creates issues with clumping and even dispersion, and even the tiniest bit of moisture in the air makes this exponentially worse...microscopically fine powders would require lab grade drying equipment at a minimum and I doubt they are using typical nozzles and delivery.

Also you need to separate any base material displaced by the process from the recovered media as you go, which is less and less simple as your particle sizes get smaller...and unlike typical sandblasting you can't have any stray crap in your blast stream since it's a lubricant application rather than just a textural process. So crazy filtration/separation requirements.

Add in the fact that at least some of the descriptions use a two step blasting process; one to open up the surface at a microscopic level with a similarly fine media and another to impinge the lubricant powder into that microscopically textured surface...and both materials need to be kept 100% separate with scrupulous cleaning after step 1.

FWIW I found a site describing a process using a tumbler and impact media as a sort of ball mill to hammer the powder into the surface of bullets...note the detailed cleaning prep process and need to keep the media clean...also consider that the lube needs of a projectile and something like an engine bearing are vastly different.

Also you need to consider consistent air flow and not just PSI when sizing equipment; 120 psi doesn't sound like much but to keep that pressure up with an open nozzle requires flowing LOTS of air which is measured in cubic feet per minute, and the demands increase exponentially as the nozzle size increases-

"Working at 100 PSI, the recommended compressor sizes are:

#2 1/8-inch nozzle: 20 CFM
#3 3/16-inch nozzle: 45 CFM
#4 1/4-inch nozzle: 81 CFM
#5 5/16-inch nozzle: 137 CFM
#6 3/8-inch nozzle: 196 CFM
#7 7/16-inch nozzle: 254 CFM
#8 1/2-inch nozzle: 338 CFM

This one will run a 1/4" nozzle-
>88 CFM@ 125 psi
>$16,308.75
>(You save $9,785.25 )

Probably not more widely used due to the hazards of handling it.

Wikipedia also states that it breaks down in contact with air together with water leaving behind Sulfuric Acid and Tungsten Oxides.

Also Tungsten is a heavy metal and as such probably very toxic. It is simply not worth it.

Capacity to become like one of these forever chemicals nature can not break down?

Yes, but with more stuff.

wow thanks for the link

Just don't ride with your foot on the clutch, you'll burn it out in a few hours of runtime

I bought an 830 case-o-matic diesel today...

>>2792604
those are a good looking tractor with full rear fenders and fat rubber all the way around

>>2792599
Out the door I think 21k with tax, full rimguard, and spacers? Extra 1400 for the 60" box blade. I had a Kubota BX2380 I was trading in but I only got 11k trade-in for it but what can you do. That tractor simply wasnt doing the job and I couldn't go another winter with it. I thought about spending the extra 5-6k or so and jumping up to the CK26 but I just think that might be too big of a tractor for my application. Hoping I dont regret that decision and have to trade the CX in later... The Kubota is in this pic, it had reached the tipping point just on this extremely slight angle trying to plow my driveway. Barely angled and the front tire spun a bit of snow and boom, the whole thing was unstable. I could push it over with my hand. New one should be much better and heavier. Its got almost another 1500 lbs of weight on the Kubota, and thats without the filled rear tires.

>>2792603
I've driven manual cars all my life, but also this one is HST which is dope. You only clutch to start the engine and engage the PTO, otherwise you never touch it. You can even change range without clutching

>>2792481
what is your plan if rear wheel bearing gets worn out? can you pick up a 500 lb wheel by yourself

Jesus. Last time I bought new ones they were around $7 each if I remember right. Damn glad I have a surplus of them and every time I tear out an old fence i can salvage about 98% of them for re-use.

>>2792465
did you even bother looking around

>>2792542
Im leaf but it might be worth a trip

>>2792542
Yeah they're $5 apiece at Crackwhore Supply

>>2792465
>I would have expected about half that
how about 1/3rd

>>2792463
thanks for the detailed breakdown. I'll probably be ok, but if I run into trouble I can't imagine reciting all that to a perfect stragner. Maybe I'll reconsider the personal project and look around for one that doesn't involve a deep knowledge of technical matter.

>>2792461
don't worry, the part time, minimum wage kid or mexican working at lowes won't have a clue even if you know exactly what you're looking for

>>2792468
yeah this is the truth. the worker will point him to something pretty much unrelated and op wont be able to get out the poor suggestion and will buy it to then drive to a different store with a different layout completely unprepared and the situation will be 100 times worse. good luck op you shouldnt have gotten out of your pod

>>2792461
find an independent hvac contractor shop and swing by on a friday afternoon (kill the clock time) and hopefully they'll have the roll up door on the shop open. introduce yourself as a fucking idiot trying to figure shit out and you'll probably get a good 5 minute course on the subject. have a sketch of what you want to do and be open to suggestions. the cost of this primer will be the shop rats will have a good laugh at your expense after you leave

>>2792461
you can just ask here you aspie

>>2792485
then why did you say "at best it just spins". find someone who has held a wrench to learn you some skills

How about you put down the wrench and learn some reading comprehension.

buy neighbors house and demolish it and turn that property into a gigantic fenced off back yard and get a big hot tub and make a small skatepark and learn how to shred a half pipe. and put a slide from my bedroom window into the backyard.

>>2792436
tear it down, including the foundation, and build a house that has a floor level with the ground.

I have a handheld one that's just for spot cleaning, can use it on anything, carpet, upholstery, clothing. It might ruin some delicate fabrics but cotton does fine.

>>2792423
Same as this anon, a green one. It’s okay. It’s gotten pretty gross over the years but it keeps my fabrics pretty clean as long as I use it quickly after the stain occurs. For stuff that’s set in it helps but I think you need something more powerful and/or to accept the limitations of reality?

It's pointless the only solution is to burn the whole thing to the ground and build a new one.
OP is just in denial about reality.

>>2792406
No Jerome. You can't go in.

bait bait bait fucking bait. they put those things up during construction for safetl/liability but they have to remove them and put proper steps or deck before it can be sold.

>>2792406
If need help to remove this you do not need to he installing stairs. If you are having someone install stairs for you they will take it off.

It is a dont sue me because your dumbass face planted out the back door

plastic to metal is horrible bro if you use similar metal connection you can cross thread plastic to metal is worse.

I just don't wanna fuck up my eley reel cause of some shitty anodized aluminum connection.

>electrical insulation a primary concern on a fucking garden hose
The Nigga Whats are off the scale, Doc.

>>2792472
If you're super duper cereal concerned about galvanic corrosion at the connectors then don't mix metals. Steel to steel, brass to brass, aluminum to aluminum, plastic yeeted directly into the nearest dumpster where it belongs, etc.

>>2792478
Yes this a high IQ thread discussing electrochemical effect and currents that happen from two dissimilar metals and charge balances.

>>2792471
>worrying about fresh water conductivity
Get a life, breh.

>>2792396

I avoid them like the plague. Galvanic corrosion is a bitch, and the fitting WILL be (possibly permanently) seized if you leave it attached. Unless your hose bibbs are also aluminum (in which case lol), it's absolutely worth looking for brass connections specifically.

Even plastic is better. Not great, but at least you won't have to get the angle grinder out to remove the hose once you need to change it. Already had to do that twice. Even the thickest anodization won't save you. It WILL scratch (a significant portion of outdoor dust is made of alumina, so the hardness of the anodized layer doesn't matter), and, once that happens, corrosion of the rest of the fitting follows fairly quickly.

>>2792379
Ok, yeah, I did think so, drill bit and spanner bit for recessed heads, dremel for accessible heads

But what if you have, say, an M1.0 screw, in a recess? You'd be fucked

That and the manufacturer does not deserve my transparency

Allow me to clarify: I want to aggressively go to the limits of the law, to solve problems I have not yet come across, to spite all manufacturers, including those I've never heard of.

I want all the data on all the screwdrives, especially those used on consumer products, such as the ones in the image, which is used in Toyota electric car batteries iirc

>>2792395
Look up patents. There will/might be scale drawings in there.

Also there is no "law" to prevent you from owning any type of tool for these. If you want to really become all capable invent a self stopping milling bit capable of eating itself into any fastener head till it stalls to then be used to unthread the fastener and throw it away.

Buy the bit you need when you need it.
Then you never have extra shit you don't need, but you have everything you've needed at least once.

That's my tool philosophy.

>>2792349
you know you can't expose pex to the outdoor sun right? why do you even need hot to your door kitchen to come from your house? just buy one those cheap camp boilers for hot water and connect a small tank just ensure your water lin is below frost line.

sorry, but all these tree haters deserve to be chopped into pieces

Exactly how insecure does one have to be to not piss sitting down?

>>2792305
I can help you as long as you give me the information I ask for and take pictures of what I request.
First things I need from you are:
who makes that? looks like briggs & stratton.
the model number which is a series of number stamped in to the cover. could be on the top near the spark plug, could be on the sides, could be on the side opposite the spark plug.

I think that is a pulse a jet carb.

>>2792541
i figured anyone who know their stuff could recognize it at a glance
its a briggs 94500 series, 3.5hp
i too think the carb has a diaphragm pump, but i think that part is fine. starts on half a pull and guzzles fuel.
