1st Gen. Lunch Table - General Discussion

Back when all of the motorcycles and outboard motors on boats were 2 smokes, we used to keep a box full of extra plugs handy. Swap a fouled plug out, then we would clean the fouled plug up with gas, emery cloth, cigarette lighter etc. as needed and put it back in the box for later.

 

Yup, used to be totally normal to carry a couple spare sets of plugs under the seat of your motorcycle, especially if you were trying to tune your carbs. I don't enjoy doing valve jobs, but I'll still take that over how much of a pain in the ass 2 strokes could be.

 

Ok that's good info. I didn't realize how quick a plug could get fouled up like that. That's what sort of had me scratching my head. I guess in my head I've always imagined it taking a long time to get oily and fouled up. But this happened during the course of one cut (a huge cut, to be fair). Makes me think I ought to order a 5 pack of plugs since we are running the saw so hard.

Milling is just brutal on these saws. It's wide open throttle with 22" of the bar buried in red oak for 4 or 5 minutes straight. We went thru an entire tank of gas with one cut we did.

 

I typically try to change my 2 stroke equipment plugs after about 40-50 run hours. That's probably excessive, but whatever. At this point I'm 4 stroke on everything except my chainsaw, and I'm typically using the electric one if there's an outlet anywhere nearby.

 

I love my 2-stroke Stihl saw, but I'm like you; unless I'm going to be working the saw all day or all weekend, I'm grabbing my Ryobi 40V chainsaw every time.

 

Do the 4wd 2006 tundras have more height/ground than the 2wd?
Can't see any sign of lift on mine, buts its couple inches taller at top of bed than a coworkers '06 2wd.

 

TRD, or no? They share suspensions otherwise. Tire sizes could differ between the two creating some disparity. TRDs have a different front coil, but share the rest. Not sure the coil added much if any lift compared to the regular coil. You positive both trucks are stock?

 

Pulled the trigger on the parts

 

That reminds me, I need to get new radiator hoses and I think a driver a/f sensor. I gotta remember this next time a sale happens.

 

I use a 4 stroke on a bandsaw for milling. When I have had problems with my Husqvarnas, I just buy a new carb if I feel I have fuel related issues. When ya mill with a chainsaw, watch the heat. It's easy to cook the bearing seal on the clutch side. This leads to a lean condition that will cause the piston to smear inside the cylinder and a loss of compression.

 

Mine is limited his is SR5.

 

Interesting. I may look down that route if new spark plug doesn’t fix it.

 

Is you buddies also a DC? The DC is taller, wider and longer than AC and RC. Oddly enough the DC sr5 coils are 0.5" shorter than the AC sr5 coils, though.



Also worth mentioning the stock DC geometry (UCAs), according to Bilstein, can handle a little more lift than the AC/RC.

Then when talking about the rear, this is according to Archive Garage:
DC has a 1" higher frame bumpstop bracket which allows 1" more bump travel than AC, but also limits collapsed length of shock

 

I don't know which designation is for which motor. But here is a listing for a supercharger near me.

 

That's for a 4 cylinder Previa van. Those were pretty sweet. AWD and 5 speed

 

I had no clue. Just saw it pop up and knew people on here were looking for superchargers for our trucks. Figured I would pass along just in case while on my lunch break. I get random stuff showing up on my FB marketplace since I started looking for a cover for the truck bed. People put them under some weird category titles other than auto parts.

 

Yall see all that shit Joe Hoe is catching right now LOL. People are coming out of the woodworks on Facebook.

 

No idea who that is

 

Yeah same, I have no idea who that is or the situation.

 

This is that clown JoeJoe from Facebook that sells OEM parts at prices people seem happy with, though they're higher than Serra of Birmingham after shipping?

FFS, that list of charges on the lower half of your shot. What in the actual hell? All that shit is from 2018 also, so the cases have probably been settled by now, even if he had a killer lawyer to drag it out.

I always knew something wasn't right with that dude...

 

I've got a used centrifugal supercharger kit for our trucks (paperwork says kit works for VVTI and non-VVTI 4.7L) that I haven't decided if I'm going to use on my 2003 or not. Truth be told I'd rather sell it and save up for a roots style blower and air to water intercooler, like the Bullet kit. I might throw it up for sale some day. Only paid $1200 for the whole kit.

 

Is that the Joe Joe clown from FB?

 

$601. J/k if i swap to e85, i could easily use a little boost.

 

You're the only one I'd even consider that price on, because I know you have and probably would continue to earn the other half.
