Tao Tao 50 scooty puff jr

You are correct.

A knot is a knot; specifically a knot in a log line that's 7 fathoms from the next knot. You throw the log in, and count how many knots are unspooled in 28 seconds; and that's how fast you're
going.

Yeah, I knew it had something to do with knots on a rope but I was too lazy to look it up.

A video of Nick throwing a log & knotted rope off the back of his scooter would be an acceptable substitute for 1/4 mile data.

Hmmph!

[Eye of the Tiger]

Carb is just barely tuned, and I will have to ride in tgecrain tomorrow. Grate.

I can get one, but only if he uses a 14 second glass and doesn't exceed 28 knots.

But then you have to account for drag, friction coefficient of spruce vs birch, mass of the log/rope assembly...

[Payman]

Or just go with the tried and true 9.8m/s squared. Of course, that means driving off a cliff.

[Eye of the Tiger]

There will be no knots for now. It seems to have lost compression. I made it a few miles this morning, then it started running crappy then quit. I had to push it home.

[Eye of the Tiger]

I am going to tear down the motor and figure it out. I can"t even afford an Uber to get to work. Fuck everything

[Eye of the Tiger]

The intake valve had zero lash. Other than that, everything looks good. Spontaneous valve unadjustment. Huh.

[Eye of the Tiger]

Well that explains why the air filter was getting soaked in oil. I suppose the intake valve had been tight for a whilez and finally just decided to stay open.

[CaminoRacer]

is it running well now?

Zero lash?  Was it not properly sealing closed, before it decided to stay open?

No, I'm trying to get scooty to fire

I'll have to order parts.
In the mean time, how the fuck do I get to work?

Anybody around there have a pre-'72 slant 6 powered vehicle for sale? A rusty old Valiant or Dart, maybe. Most dependable junk on Earth. What happened to the radiator for the Jeep?

You're talking as if I have any money. I can't even afford an Uber ride right now.

What kind of shop doesn't have a shop buggy for the mechanic to get to work in a pinch?

If it was my shop, it would have one.
It's not my shop.

working from home makes NSFW much more relaxed.

[Laconian]

It looks like a picture that Bender would've extended his eye-tubes at. Breowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

I don't have the panic moments thanks to screenshots of basically-naked Skyrim characters, that's for sure.

Valves and shit coming on Monday. In the mean time, I'm trying to get a ride to work and maybe a radiator for Jeep.

Scooty needs a Harbor Freight Predator motor swap.

Scooty needs a Harbor Freight Predator motor swap.

Too expensive.
I ordered a new valve kit and a 47mm big bore kit, which will put it at 72cc, all for $31 shipped.

And then my checking account got overdrawn, so add a $25 overdraft fee to that.

[r0tor]

Probably got a knot stuck in the valves
