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

[claymin]

I have six G62 running on electronic ignitions. they are shakers as with any single. I have nothing against DA sense I have some of there twins also. but I agree I have a hard time believing a 50 has the power of a 62 swing the same prop and setup . the old Zenoah's just run and run. with that being said the DA 50 on quiet pipe will out perform a stock 62. I have built several for customers in the past, and they will pull.

what "quiet pipe" are you talking about? a tuned pipe? canisters? if you could share a link I'd appreciate it.

thanks,

Slimline 50/60 tune pipe from DA a little expensive. but they work, We use there headers also.

The G62 may swing a bigger prop, but power to weight ratio there really isn't a comparison since the G62 weighs 1.5 pounds more than the DA50. It takes a lot of power to make up for that pound and a half.

I bought a new battery for one of the clubs lawn tractor. I pulled tractor out of the shed, put the battery in and climbed on. Hit the switch and let engine run a few. Shut it off and went to put the cover plate back on. All of sudden This damn snake comes out from underneath mower. Sure was glad it had no rattles. Chased him away and he heads under my tahoe so I moved it and the snake heads for the mower shed again. Chase him out in grass after that. Reminder to self check for snakes next I go near that mower shed.

Bull snake? They get crazy big and angrier than rattlers in my part of the country. It's fun after I brush hog at our field, time to chase the snakes away. The rattlers lose their heads however. Anyone ever eat rattlesnake? Tastes like chicken!

Grab his tail and crack him like a whip. Takes you awhile to work up to a water moccasin or copper head but it can be done. At least when you're young and dumb.

Thank goodness we don't have those out here. When I was younger and "less experienced" I used to jump out of the back of a tournament ski boat with nothing but a handle a ski and a life jacket and yell "Hit It".

Still working on cabinet installation in the workshop. Just using a few sink base cabinets and will make a countertop after I add some homemade drawers.
