They think grandma is the sweetest person in the world, I know better, that woman is the devil. I love Bill Cosby, he had some great stuff.
Sure is quiet in here....do I need to start a fight?

The big issue is there's a joist running directly under the back wall of the laundry room so I can't bore through without hitting the joist. Might have to come up through the floor???
Went straight down for a quarter mile and emptied onto a freeway.......
Henceforth the name "Deadman's Hill"

Seems like you like making extra work for yourself.
if the dryer vents it IS " proper " ..

But it doesn't vent.

If the run is solid without breaks and it vents outside, I agree with Ron. Hard pipe is ideal but flex line is fine as long as you don't have big bellies in it and it is stretched out so it doesn't catch a bunch of lint. I would concentrate on cold beer and wrenching on such a fine day in American history, and don't forget to thank the vets on that day...insert patriotic song here.

Make sure it's not plugged. Thing was probably never cleaned. You have to watch those anti bird devices on those vents. You might want to check your drier too to make sure it is clear. I had to take mine apart this spring for that.
Lets hope my packages arrive soon. I have 4 on the way...
One is tungsten electrodes for my tig, another is Orings and a surprise for my torch, another is the rear handle and air box for the s55a, the other is the engine from a 1-70 for my s55a.
Two should be here tonight.

Had a MS180C dropped off and a Eeko hedge trimmer to fix. Got the 180 running,needed a carb , been sitting a good while with gas in it. Looks like tar inside the carb. LOL Check out the Eeko tomorrow , I think ? LOL
Checked for spark on the old Contra this evening,....need help Sparky!!
No spark so I removed the recoil, off with the flywheel nut thanks to the IR 1/2" impact and a 17 mm socket. Removed the fanwheel and seeing as I had the proper Stihl flywheel puller the flywheel should pop right off. Well guess what? Not !!!...Had to resort to heating the flywheel with the hi perf heat gun and the puller cranked up singing tight, 3 mins of heating I hear ...POP, and the flywheel comes loose. Get er off and clean it and the magnets up. Points stuck and dirty, loosen and file the points with a diamond coated points file til nice n clean. Reassemble and now have bright blue spark.
One more thing done on its way back to running condition, next cylinder removal and cleanup.

Couldn't resist ! Bought one of them Oregon 511AX grinders for 153.00 , missing one wheel. Other than that its new in the box ! Going to beak down and them get CBN wheels for it. Just not real happy with the ones they come with anyway. Pricey suckers ! But they do last a very long time.
Dan may yell at me ? LOL

Sounding good !
Where do I find a points file these days ? Use to have a real mice one, long time ago ! LOL
Bet they are getting scarce, let me look around. I bought mine years ago in a full set of Nicholson machinist files, a very fine set it has been.
Found a few NOS parts for it today and a top cover over in Germany.
Sounds like you getting right along with it !
Once I get motivated it becomes a challenge to myself to carry it through. Found a NOS gasket kit and seals,NOS fuel and oil lines, NOS piston,..don`t need it ,NOS fuel and oil caps and even a NOS carb.

Venting is overrated. LOL. Good luck with it. My wife told me I wasn't doing any saw "stuff", wood splitting or any grass cutting on the 4th. I have to take her out on the bike all day.
Very good ! Going to be like new or better !
Well,.....as long as I get it running right....LOL
