Harmonic "zizzle" from the box. Bearings. Ugh.
 
Got a spare, or is a rebuild on the docket?
 
Gotta "go fish" for bits. I've a 1600 or two inna shed, they're a bit different. Will have to lower the thing out and rebuild. No fun in this heat.
 
Now that sounds like a lovely weekend project... in the heat... :devilgrin:
 
I am currently <span style="font-style: italic"><span style="font-weight: bold">staring at it sternly</span></span>. :jester:

Yeah, that'll do it!
 
With all the recent rain you guys had I'm surprised you're not " staring at it sternly" through a SCUBA mask
BTW, that's one of my basic diagnostic steps for all my home projects.

If that doesn't work there's always <span style="font-style: italic"><span style="font-weight: bold">swearing at it copiously</span></span>. :devilgrin:
 
H-e-double hockey sticks, even eating ice cream in this heat is no fun! Second day in a row the thermometer in our van hit 102 on the drive home from work....
 
:lol:

Oddly, you aren't the only one to suggest something along those lines, Doug. :jester:
 
Onward to the copious swearing stage... have the rad out, all the things wot can get bent when the engine is tilted rearward are out of danger.

Now, as J. Cousteau used to say: "So once again we dive-ed below Calypso."

I'd rather wrestle an alligator. :jester:

Knowing where you live, that could probably be arranged.
