Continued- I finished the coop at 9am this morning
When I got home today I could smell gas, wed night i put maybe half a tank in and let her run. Turned the petcock off and went inside. Today I find fuel leaked(lots) dripped down on the starter and swelled the oring enough to pop it out/ crap!!!!what else can go wrong
Have a nice long weekend everyone...

Bow your heads please in a moment of silence as my most used tool has finally given up the ghost today. This Hitachi angle grinder has been with me since probably 2006 or so, not exactly positive. I use this for everything and it has cut and grinded every project of mine for at least the last twelve years. It's had a hand in my first extended Tecate swing arm, the building of the Tecate 500, and my bumper build last year, as well as hundreds of projects in between. It has been a fantastic tool and I have to go to the store now and find a replacement Hitachi.
Edit; replacement parts are available for it!

I'm actually heading to Harbor Freight right now to get a disposable grinder whilst I wait for my Hitachi replacement parts.

I have a hitachi 18v cordless drill that has shot probably 50lbs of drywall screws and been used to polish stuff and has even driven 1 3/4" lag bolts before and it still goes. It led to me buying a hitachi circular saw which is very nice for the money. Good to know they sell parts for their stuff.

When the going gets tough, the tough get sideways
My 18v cordless drill is Hitachi as well and is older than my grinder. I still use it every day but the batteries are pretty beat and the chuck has a hard time holding drill bits anymore. I might replace that instead of repairing it because cordless drills have come a really long way in 15 years.

Chicks love guys that ride trikes
I've done everything with these guys for years.....and knock off batteries on amazon and eBay are plentiful and cheap and work good.
Glamy......we will be in Jacumba Hot Springs and Spa that same weekend with a small H.O.G. group. After the festivities make the additional drive and come on down. Cold beer for my brotato chip will be waiting.
