Yep as above the oring will square off from heat and time. It tricked me a few years ago too.

Minus 1deg this morning on my travel. Today I felt the cold through my helmet vents. Not sure I can ride in anything colder. Icecream headache was bad. Going to try some dish detergent or potato and see if I can close my top vents.

An old married couple no sooner hit the pillows when the old man passes gas and says, 'Seven Points.' His wife rolls over and says, 'What in the world was that?' The old man replied, 'its fart football.' A few minutes later his wife lets one go and says, 'Touchdown, tie score...' After about...

I'll probably do it again against the advice. I plan another trip to Adelaide sometime in the next 2-3 years. Probably do it twice on my trip too, once there and once back. Don't plan on doing any other time soon. Its been a while since I've filled the ute anymore than 3/4. I only put in...

I'll try it tomorrow night. I've locked up the shed now and not going back out in the freezing cold when I will be in bed in the next 20 mins., hahahaha. Makes sense we used to do this with our goggles and snorkel when spear fishing.

Don't look much different. But they wouldn't hold. The local garage has a few different compressors including a jig and it just slipped. No one locally could get the springs out. Pedders was one of the few places with gear to do it. It was a pain as it took me almost a week to get them done...

On the inside?

I have all the gear to do the fronts and have helped when mine were done at my house. Don't know that I could do it on my own yet. The rears are a different story again. I tried to compress the springs but the spring compressor just slipped. Took it to a local garage who have a pretty kitted out...

The bike shop I use had great reviews, plus an old PO went there once so I thought I'd give them a go. First time was the rear brake, which on the Sprint are notorious for being spongy, and unless you have the equipment and know the trick to getting all the air out it will remain spongy. I...

What's a balance stand? I have a thing that goes through the rear hub and lifts the back wheel. I do some basics on the bike but even then I didn't tension the chain up right, so the money I thought I saved in labour I had to pay last week to have it redone.

Nope, this ( https://forums.justcommodores.com.au/threads/things-that-leave-you-gobsmacked-in-a-good-way.295239/ ) is where I will post that. Difference being I won't start and argument in that thread, like some do, as it's about happy stuff not doom and gloom. Having said that at the end of...

Yeah a mate over 35 years ago filled his fathers Val to the top of the neck. Few mins later there was a puddle on the ground. He thought something was damaged but no, somehow those old 70s cars would spew it out somewhere if it was overfull.

As long as it's not raining and not freezing cold it's quite good to commute using the bike. Especially now that we are allowed to lane filter, and get to piss off all those driving their SUV's who hate it when we get in front of them at the lights.

Unlikely, but for someone like yourself who can probably replace a side in an hour, probably worth seeing how long they do last.

That's what I thought, so then how does the fuel get sucked into the canister with the engine running? I was of the understanding it can trickle in over a period with the engine shut off, but not really with the engine running. Or can it be sucked through into the canister from the tank with the...
