Good thing those gobblers didn't walk up on SteveF.  

I do have to tell you all. Those 3 turkeys were domesticated and NOT the wild ones we get. ( according to their Facebook Page. Yes, look them up, Newhall turkeys ) Some lady wanted to populate the wild herd and let her's loose.Well, being domesticated , those poor gals didn't fly up to the trees to roost for the night, like the wild ones.They meet the local bobcat that fateful night . AND so did I !!!!
Then there was 2.Sad day indeed my friends. BUT the good news is that Martha and Jenny-O are now living in a good place , "The Gentle Barn" out here where they will be safer to live a long life. SO...
Rest in peace , ZACKY !!!!  

 

oil changes are always fun.

 



 

Got Milk?

Anybody know just WHAT this mystery breather is?Can I take it off and clean it without parts dumping out or just leave it be?The last thing I need is parts to fall out if I remove it.  

 


 

It's the drain for the carb compartment.  It's kind of a filter...  you need it or you can suck dirt up through hole and into intake.  I never removed one...  I just spray it with contact cleaner from the top.

There is no top of it. It's in the crank case, and I won't be going to split the cases.
This thing is interesting for sure.
Maybe under the oil pump?

YEP !! under the oil pump. sprayed and done !!
Thanks Mark !!

Sorry to leave you all hanging. I haven't felt like picking up a wrench lately.
Maybe tomorrow.

The holiday’s are a time when things slow down dramatically. It has been the same here. Now’ with three projects it’s going to be go time after a few more work days. I had the great opportunity to speak with Joe Abatte regarding how his business is structured compared to the way Yama-Land was brought to fruition. There are several parallels.
Cruse for a week and a half, then comes Jan. 5 it’s more shop hours then I like to discuss. Breakout.
