That a Mahindra? Right color....

Ought to relieve the UXV snow plow!

Nope, not a Mahindra, it's  TYM,  model 474HC, 48hp, 6000 lbs.   looked at Mahindra's, too much cast and not enuf forged steel imho, TYM has good promotion now, 3.99% is less than inflation, it's like free money, and good discounts from msrp too.

I am reminded of a time I was eating lunch in a convenience store parking lot, company truck, with a co-worker, we watched a small bird ? unsure of species, duke it out with a luna moth, the moth was winning the battle, but had enuf damage, it wouldn't survive

No key, just the remote control gizmo, like the wife’s new Landy!

luckily my fob battery died when I was home, but unknown till after I replaced the bike battery for no reason

One advantage of keyless ignition I guess Stig, it's now always in my jeans' pocket!  (Must check to see if my Shad box will snap locked - 99% of the time mine is unlocked!)

Until the fob battery goes dead

I've never had E10 cause any problems, run it in everything except my chainsaw, for that, I run VP 50:1 premix, 94 octane, non ethanol (not really gasoline either, naptha?) My small engines do get premium 93 octane, I keep 93 in my 5gallon jug that fuels my power sports and power equipment, sometimes my K-Pipe


What happened to Amoco Super Premium ?

« on: May 18, 2024, 09:23:14 PM »
sounds like you have a vacuum leak, not much to remove and block off, really won't gain you anything

use some kind of aerosol carb cleaner, with engine running, spray a mist around the vacuum lines, when the engine picks up speed, you have found your leak, also check for gasket leaks at base of carb and manifold

there is a damaged one on ebay, in Italy, but shipping is 4x,   the damage is about same as mine, I refabricated the tab, as I said, with Gorilla tape, 3 years ago, still holding

3 more weeks of PT and I graduate. throwing my leg over a beach ball sitting atop a 5 gallon bucket is a good exercise for regaining the ability to ride a bigger bike, higher seat height, get a bigger beach ball, if ya don't quite make it, no big deal, the ball and bucket go tumbling away, set em back up try again

« on: May 12, 2024, 03:34:41 PM »
check the routing of the vacuum line, but I believe it opens a petcock on the fuel line, swap the vacuum petcock out for an old fashion manual petcock, sure, block off the vacuum line

my ZS190 has a cone filter, but also a 28mm carb

glad you're back in the saddle, again!


I honestly thought I was due for a hip replacement or surgery to remove bone spurs. After my ride yesterday, I moved a small amount of firewood (15-20 cubic feet at most) and I'm in pain again, massage at PT this afternoon will help that
