I agree 100%. Unless I need large quantities of something, Ace is the place. They actually have a much better selection of nuts n bolts than either HD or Lowes. The people are generally very nice and knowledgeable. Plus, they carry a great selection of gun screws!!

Why is that beautiful Marantz on the bottom getting no love! Looks to be a 2325? I'm a sucker for old school audio!

Love the snow! I wish we had some up here in eastern washington! Snow blowing is mysteriously satisfying. I've got mine ready for action but sadly no snow. I bought mine used about 15years ago. At the time, we had a very long driveway and were fresh transplants from SoCal. Plus it was down hill...

We have a 2020 f250 with the 7.3 and 10 speed trans that we bought as a second truck for the business. Crew cab, 6foot bed, 4wd, 3.73 axle ratio, STX model as it is a work truck and I love it. I only use our f350 dually 6.7l diesel for long trips and really big boats over #10,000. We have...

Boy, do I feel your pain. At least I am on the "right" side of the state. I absolutely love where I live and work, but things are definitely changing and not for the better. The problem is and always has been that the people have been brainwashed to believe that corporations are bad and must be...

If single track and woods riding is what you guys do, have you ever considered a honda xr200 or the xr250r? The 250r is an excellent woods and single track bike. I wouldn't hesitate to take it in the dunes with a paddle on it either. The xr200 is smaller and much easier to handle for a smaller...

Man do those bring back memories of our first trip in '83 or '84!! We actually boated under the rainbow bridge! I was just 8 then so everything looked so big!

Such an unfortunate situation for this couple. The short video show just enough for the keyboard warriors to come out, speculate and post some rude, belittling comment with zero knowledge of what actually caused the accident. If any of you follow RDP on facebook, I was the one who made the post...

This!! I was at the market the other day and paid cash. The young lady at the register was clearly new and was having difficulties with the change. She called over her supervisor who was older to help. I was thinking the supervisor will instruct her to count the change back to me. Nope, she...

i was just a youngster growing up in that era but I have many fond memories of hanging out in the garage while my dad worked on our dirt bikes with, first, KMET, and then KLOS playing on the stereo. The smell of 2 strokes and the warm sound of bitchin music combined with the 2 best voices on the...

Love that place! It's about 5 miles from our shop. They have a huge parking lot sale every year in November I think. The people there are always so nice and seem genuinely happy!

Actually, you are partially correct. The later 500EFI shares the same block, crank and rods with the 525 and 600SCI. I did a little research after I posted!

Currently there are no kits to add DTS to either engine. I spoke with some insiders at mercury racing a few years back and at that time there were no plans to offer them in DTS. Yes, anything can be done with the right amount of money, but it would be a significant investment. The 600 and 700SCI...

If celebrities are your "thing" then I guess I've been pretty lucky. I have bullshitted with John Elway, Wayne Gretzky and a few others while working on their boats. I actually had John's cell number in my work phone. Anytime he had a problem with his boat, he would give me a call. For the...

The Hawaii mars was stationed in Lake Elsinore for a few summers in the early 2000's. It was absolutely one of the most impressive things I've ever witnessed in person. Watching it take off and then circle back for a scoop run was awesome! That big plane would approach the lake from the north...

Hopefully that is the case Dave! I would think you would have seen that on the tachs though. Glad you are ditching those crappy mufflers. I love CMI but those mufflers are the worst. We have the IMCO gatlins on ours and I really like how they sound. Not too loud but loud enough!

You likely have reinstalled the springs and check valve bodies in the wrong position. Also, those check valve bodies are set at the factory for proper psi. When you removed them, you disrupted the calibration. There are two ways to fix this. One way is to recalibrate the max psi on all three...

Here is some secret squirrel info on the SCX. You will never see metal on the plug or in the oil until it grenades. There is a plate screwed to the floor of the upper gear housing from the bottom side that has a very strong magnet welded to it. All of the metal in the oil will eventually stick...

Well i am not entirely sure. There were 2 different styles of switch. One was normally open and shorted the ignition to ground when activated and the other was a normally closed that interrupted positive voltage when activated. It sounds as if you remedied the problem though by adjusting the...

That is an Alpha shift plate that has a bravo arm on it. The thought was good, but I seriously doubt it actually works and here is why. The Alpha shift interrupt switch is activated when the operator shifts from in gear to neutral, not when going into gear. I doubt there is enough resistance or...
