Did it 1x in the time I had the bike. Then I sold it before it got warm.

Is it really THAT bad of a bike? My cousin had one and rode it a few times. I should ask him, but I don't recall him having many positive things to say about it.

The pool has been a resounding success… Not 100% level. But the water is clear, and very warm from the solar cover. Kids love it. Biggest issue is I don’t have time to sit in there with them.

Turns out I bent the bottom assembly when I snagged on the hydrant. Straightened it out, and it works...but still struggles. Was gonna go to the cottage tonight and take care of a bunch of stuff up there, but I'll go tomorrow. - mow the lawn - install a fan - pick up some 4" conduit I found...

Anyone got some left over? Need approx 120ft (TBC) of 4” bell end PVC conduit. Possibly 3/4” to 1” also as I’ve got some plans for a deck / gazebo in the plans.

A little beyond my budget sadly. I think the Toro is dead…will muck around with it but it’s done good work for many years.

Lots of RYOBI mowers out there for $100-150 but no batteries. Meaning I’d need to commit to a battery before I even try it as who knows if the unit even works or not. Ridgid doesn’t make lawnmowers but there are adapters that can use my 18V to power RYOBI.

It was parked over the winter, worked fine 2-3 times, and then all of a sudden stopped. As if it’s not getting fuel. I replaced the carb, and running better but still struggling. It got a bit better when I pressed the prime button. I haven’t checked the fuel flow from the tank yet.

It was sputtering. Would go very low on power, sputter, and die. Was used a handful of times already this year and no issues…until last week. I need to get up there soon as I don’t feel like getting a warning from the municipality for grass that’s too long.

Well I think that mower is dead. Replaced the carb and air filter and still it’s barely running. Better than before the replacements, but very weak. Then I snagged the cable on a fire hydrant as i wasn’t paying attention and…it died. FML now to fix or replace? Electric or gas? It’s a Toro...

It is. And my Scrambler had multiple occasions where the clutch and brakes disappeared due to the heat in stop and go traffic. Once on Mississauga Rd at train tracks where I kept it idling and all feeling disappeared. Twice on the 401 in high heat and slow stop and go traffic. At least I...

Not a fan of the CTX but for 1k… https://www.facebook.com/share/1D74JM3CJz/

Connections are a huge part of any success story that anyone that’s ’self made’ is primarily lying. Getting an apprenticeship…need connections as applicants are a dime a dozen and then having the hours signed off is another issue. I’ve never worked in my field of study (aero) but the...

Thanks! I’ve never cleaned a carb before but will keep this up one. Clean it up, and keep it as a spare.
