I wonder if it's the paint that's the issue or lack of clear coat. Separate clear may be the determining factor.

I got some more work done on that 015. I found the issue.... The case gasket had turned to goo. That explains the leaking oil and sucking air. I am going to call the owner and ask if he wants me to order a proper case gasket, and wait another week or so, or if he just wants me to glue it back together with permatex aircraft sealant, and get it to him this weekend.

Used up my first can of pizzoff. Very happy. I would still be on that can if I didn't use 1/4 of it on a paint compatibility test. (the results were that it eats rattle can paint, and won't touch proper paint)

The lawn didn't get finished.... The mower ran out of gas just before I started the front lawn... The whacker is out of gas too, and I don't have a single drop of gas left, mixed or straight...

Any thoughts on epoxy paint for saw restorations? I have had enough of rattle cans... I'm thinking either epoxy or real automotive lacquer. My dad is getting two new devillbiss guns for the tractor project, and he said I can borrow them. I have an old cheap gun for primer. I want something that gas won't harm, and will last more than a few months....

Certainly a good lesson for your daughter Robin , it keeps things real and is different than you telling her so .
Glad to hear she is pitbullesque (I mean that in a ......well you know what I mean LOL) .

I do know what you mean...all in all she did well.....she had never driven any kind of motorized two wheeled unit before...nor does she have a good understanding of a clutch of any kind that is not auto/hydro in nature so taking that all in account..... her first foray ended well even though she took a spill.....this is something she set her sights on...I just support her in doing it the safest way possible.........got plenty of bandages...though I hope further applications won't be necessary.....

Most of the
" paint " you see on saws is actually powder coating,,thats why you never see a primer under it..

Glad she's doing good and got right back on the horse. Most people that spill like that are applying front brake in a turn or looking at the ground or both. Just like riding a bicycle only 500x better:hmm3grin2orange: I learned always look where you want to be and never at the ground as your body will take you there either way.

Update on Scooterbum

He says to tell everyone hello. Life has been kicking him a little more than usual this year and he's had just enough energy to get his work done and try to spend some time with the grandkids. Lurks here every once in a blue moon but phone sucks for trying to post.

He was genuily happy to hear some folks were thinking about him and says he'll try to check in sometime in the next week or so to say hey to some guys. I won't discuss particulars as it's his business and I respect privacy but I hope anyone who's inclined will offer up some prayers for him. I know I will.

Yeah well when you're airborn gravity and physics take over. LOL. Railroad tracks are slicker for sure. So far I've managed okay which is good. Don't really want to pick the 900# Road Glide up off the road. I'm a pretty big and strong guy but not something I want to do.

Riding is great therapy. My boss says he can always tell when I've been out of the saddle to long... Like today LOL
