Practical Applications Period 5 Week 2
John paced the front of the room, and gave a quick overview of shop safety. Wear the shop glasses, don't light gas on fire, no firing up the engines without warning other people, and so forth.
"H'okay, you three. Last week was kinda an intro class. Lotsa talking, not much action. This week? Action. Here's the deal: you need to pick an engine, diagnose the problem, and repair it. Probable problems will be a bad spark plug, dirty carb, or a broken part. Or all three. Could be something more severe, like overheating, cracked block, ring job, new pistons." He thunked three small-engine manuals on the table.
"It may not be for whatever engine you choose, but it's got the basics, and they've got a good step-by-step on troubleshooting. Diagnosis. Disassembly. Reassembly."
He pointed to a pile of parts on a side table. The table was chartreuse, as was every other frickin' thing in the shop aside from the engines and the parts, as they were not part of the Danger Shop but real. "This is a pile of crap for your engines. Carb rebuild kits, valve kits, ring job kits, cylinder hone kits, et cetera, et cetera. Tools are on the wall," he said, pointing to the lovely green toolboxes with sickeningly green tools (blasphemy!) "and if you need anything, I'll be here. So. Questions?"

Re: Get to work!
Although that didn't stop him from thinking about what parts might be able to be spared for something later, hum hum.

Keep picking at it.

Re: Get to work!
who's mun knew nothing about engines, although he doesthought, hey, maybe it would be a good idea to take the cylinder head off. So he did that. La.Re: Get to work!
engine!mun theorizes that it'll need a new set of rings, the cylinder honed with that spiffy drill attachment, and new spark plug. And proper oil/gas mixture. or something. since the mun hasn't worked on a 2cycle engine since the 90s. :DSo he'd have to dissassemble the engine a bit more, which should be easy what with the tools and putting the parts aside in systematic order. la.
