Master Hack

Try using fuel line and cupped washers ....with bolts ..

before motor disassembly I use rubber plumbing caps after pulling the carb and pipe, that allows me to wash all that pesky dirt.

Plumbing caps aren’t always sized perfectly so I upgraded to a more custom fit.

What is that?

Pneumatic test ball. Use em for various things. Seldom for the purpose they were intended, which is plugging pvc. When I pull my fuel delivery system and head pipe I like to cork it and gently scrub down the parts you can never get to, and generally leave em in until I’m ready for reassembly.

Pneumatic test ball.

Never heard of that before. Very cool hack John!

Don’t remember if I posted this elsewhere but it is one of my favorites. Home Depot caster wheels and a piece of wood. Every time I slide or spin my bike with one hand I pat myself on the back with the other. Even a blind squirrel...

Harbor freight furniture dolly , already built , cheap ...

Yeah I thought about that, but I wanted a platform, and needed small wheels with brakes, and square for stability. I wanted the weight distributed on top of the wheels not between. Purpose built by a Hack of all trades.

They make a small dolly. I bought a bunch of them then used milk crate bike stands they sell to bolt on. A little tall though.

How about this , was having trouble with a 12" tire , drilled a hole in top of my lift table . Ran a bolt through the top and bolted wheel down to it , just as good as a tire stand , not in the way when not needed .......
