The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

[pawnshopmike]

Speaking as a guy that just pulled a 24000 btu unit out of the wall to clean it I can tell you it sure felt like 2 tons to me, and I had the supposed light side. All I could think when we were putting it back in the wall was I'm getting too old for this.

I feel your pain. Those large window A/C's are back killers.

This is what I put in my shop. Best money I ever spent.

Only thing is, you will need an HVAC guy/gal to make the final connection and charge the unit.

I took my GP61 powered Carf Extra to my shop yesterday to tune on it a little since I just went through the carb. I started with the needles at 1 1/2 for both high and low. By the time I was done I was right back where I started before going through the carb at 2 3/8 on the low and a little over one on the high. It seems to run pretty well, but I'll find out when I get to fly it.

One issue I had yesterday is the restarts when it's hot are pretty miserable, but at least the carb isn't leaking anymore.

Sorry. Here's the link. Not sure why it didn't work the first time?

Couldn't afford to do anything in the workshop tonight....... @pawnshopmike got all the cash out of my wallet today and then some Paypal money LOL, but I did get a nice Ruger 10/22 and a bunch of accessories

I would LOVE to put one of those units in, but sadly I am renting and they did not approve for one of those. They did however approve for a new window and window unit....Yea dumb..... For the price I am paying for the window and the ac I could have had one of those.

My parents put those in their house in the bedrooms that didn't get cooled enough for the regular AC and you can almost ditch the normal AC unit having those in the house..... I love them.

Always a good time when Dennis comes to town. My banker loves him!

Found and got the motor back from that DANGEROUS neighborhood! But it was in pieces too! Is nothing safe any more.

Good news is I also found plenty of parts there! Ninja'd it whole again in no time.

Even had parts left over .

Hi @Jetpainter looking at the plane you have a 61 mounted at 90 degrees. Often though of doing that but never did. Did you any difficulty balance side to side. And cowl clearance. Use to do that with all my glow four strokes they ran much better. Why did you do it.

Well it has been bad weather for the last week got all my maintenance done and the ViperSt was just steering at me, so I decided to glue the canopy on, not a job I enjoy doing. If the weather continues like this the next thing to do is to do the final fit of the cowl with the engine just received the muffler from JTec.
