Begining in 1905, Popular Mechanics had a yearly publication called “Shop Notes”. It was a compilation of quick little one paragraph or one page mechanical tips, or tricks or “kinks” as they were once called. These books are very entertaining to read and even 100+ years later a lot of the...

Hey guys, been calling around as I found the time and just can seem to find a small engine shop that will re-bore or a engine shop that is willing to re-bore a small motor. Anyone got someone they can recommend around the Atlanta region of GA? Would really be much appreciated!

Harbor freight has an A frame bench shop press 6 ton. Has anyone got one of these? I was thinking of getting one to straighten forks and other small jobs. I read there feedback and some like it some don't. Ok so in the real world [mini bike world] will it do what I need it to do? I do not have...

Seen this over on the HAMB and instantly thought of some of the front forks on mini bikes. Guys using a hydraulic shop press and making the flat part on the fronts forks, looks like it would be easy enough to make a die like he is using then just trim to fit and make them even. Some very neat...

Nothing turned up in the forum archives, but is there such a thing as a shop manual for the Bonanza? As I go through mine, I've wondered what literature existed out there that provides some understanding of the right parts needed for the driveline, etc.

Did anyone manage to download this file before it went corrupt ? I could sure use a copy. If not does anyone know of any other e-versions out there or should I just bite the bullet and spend the $35.00 for the paper version. I have not broken anything yet, I just want to read up on how the...

I need to take a 7hp Kohler K181 to a machine/engine shop to have what looks like a snapped off bit extractor removed from a block and then redrilled and tapped. Do you guys know of any shops north of Hartford that are good and could handle this job? i need this done so i van finish this motor...

I was thinking that it would be cool to see pics of where everybody works on their mini bikes, go karts, and other projects. Whether it is a garage, a barn, a shop, or even just on the driveway take a pic and post it under this thread. I will start. This is the shop that my dad lets me use...

I retired in 2009, and built this shop for toys and reloading shotgun shells. My handle here comes from being an avid clay target shooter, and on the Board of Dir of the Tucson Trap and Skeet Club, and the Arizona State Trapshooting B of Dirs.

Sooo I dig out my Tilly manuals and a milk crate fully of Tillys, mostly HL carbs I've saved for Briggs motors to see what's going on here.. :hammer: I've tried a couple but they lacked the fuel delivery for a 5 horse flat head without having to mess around with mods and stuff... SO I quickly...

So what can you guys do for me price-wise? I just need to send this spacer to someone and have them replicate it in a perfect circle with perfectly flat surfaces and the same spaced holes. The guy that I dropped it off with is apparently on drugs to want to charge me what he quoted me.:out...

I found a machine shop not 2 miles from me today to my surprise (not usually around this part of town). The guy does all his machining out of his two car garage. I gave him several odd jobs that I had needed to get going lately. Can't wait to see the results... Here are some pictures of...
