I'm going to try mechanic in a bottle supposed to be easier on rubber parts in the carburetor. Anyone ever try this stuff? I would find a Justice Brothers distributor near you, and get some Fuel System Cleaner to run through it, first. I've "cleaned carbs" with it before, where the pilot jet was starting to clog up. It works. Probably the only thing wrong with your rig is a clogged jet. Easy to get to, easy to remove, and easy to clean, brother. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shooterrex Posted January 23 Report Share Posted January 23 Brother in laws latest. Please check the log splitter it won't start. He doesn't know how the fuel valve got shut off. That one was easy to fix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had the cover from the roof hatch came down and hit me in the head. Good thing I had my hardhat on it could have dropped me 20' off ship's ladder on to mechanical room floor. Get well soon brother Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As bad as it was it could have been worse so here's to a fast and complete recovery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magwa Posted January 30 Report Share Posted January 30 Hey my man get better soon back injuries suck bad hope yours goes away fast.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cunuckgaucho Posted January 31 Report Share Posted January 31 Something going on with cranes locally. This one happened this morning( no injuries) The yellow crane in background is what it's suppose to look like. Then four days earlier, this one happened and the fact there was no injuries was surprising as it happened on a Friday afternoon right beside a major road.It was in the procces of being dismantled. You can see part of the boom hanging off the side of the building along with the damaged windows where it hit the building. We have 3 on site so guessing there will be some dscussions at work tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cunuckgaucho Posted February 1 Report Share Posted February 1 Local ski hills closed, to warm to even make snow. Pretty much tee shirt weather at work. Not looking good for the snow pack which feeds the streams and helps keep the trees fro becoing forest fire wood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unforgiven Posted February 2 Report Share Posted February 2 Those cranes need a serious inspection. Boom failure looks like metal fatigue. Ironworkers here are responsible for Tower crane erection and take down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
