Tom T hear  was wondering what went wrong my computer died when I got up and running the forum was gone good to  see it back up old link did not work sis a search found new link an got  back on. Tom T

Something tells me you are going to spend a lot of time just setting and   thanking and a drink or two or three just trying to decide what to do next I know I do. Take care and find some fun.

Good to see you won the reelection and now will have the time to just set back and o your ow stuff what ever that might be. Setting her watching it snow temp has dropped to 33 might get own to 25 tonight. An glad  to see Henry post an well. All well on my end Tom T

Maybe an open section where all ideas are welcome but watched close the good ones move to its own place and let them continue to grow some times the wildest thought turns into something big and very use full  if nothing else  brake the boredom.  Tom T

Make that 8 trying to get out of  Oregon and back to Montana for a while need an attitude adjustment in a big way need to get  back to the Mt. Top and look at the stars for a while closest  neighbor about 10 miles.  Tom T

Ok I have been off line foe a while  got back on and found a complaint that some one thanks things are getting out of hand read through all posts  so every  one just settle-down back up take a deep breath or two or more if needed and be nice or this thread will be locked.     Tom T.

Hi folks,

I seem to be suffering some weird server problems... I think it's related to the underlying SQL database server (MariaDB), not sure how to fix it yet.

I suspect the site will be slow/unresponsive/etc. for a couple of days, it may also disappear without warning for (potentially) hours at a time, while I tinker under the hood.

Apologies to all. I'll try to get normal service resumed ASAP.

I did the same thing on set up it sounded like it was coming apart from all the clattering.

Bob you should have just put a 500 BSA or  a Norton on it and called it good:)   Tom T

i first started using the honda gx160's about 20 years ago, and out of three of them
all had the low oil shutdown fail.

disconnected them all and kept right on going.

so as far as the chinese clone engines and the low oil shutdowns, i would recommend doing without them... heck if honda couldn't be relied on, why complain about chinese failures.

for the price it just about doesn't pay to screw with a tiller or washer engine , just pull it off and replace it, and back in business.

i put them on local farmers bolony tank compressors and get a 50 dollar markup on the engine
and everyone is happy.

so are they have all kept doing what the farmers expect out of them, i suspect they only use them intermittently to air up a flat tire and how often does that happen?

all i know is this, i would have given a left nut to have had a pair of these 6.5 hp engine's back in the early 70's when i built a twin engine gokart that used two 5 hp briggs engines.   two of these 6.5 probably would have gotten me killed!

no governors and klotz nitro additive, yahooooo!

All have been pretty much trouble free after installing a decent spark plug.( Nippondenso/bosch/etc.)  NO experience with the V-twin!
Ron.

Ya Ron, I forgot that part. The OEM plug is usually only good to make sure it runs in case it needs to go back. I use whatever brand is sold locally for Honda same size.  Other thing that is weak on them is the low oil sensor. Next thing to check after the plug  when one of them starts cutting out is to unplug the oil sensor.

A few years ago some one brought me a generator they had it had just a few hours on it it would start and run for a short time and die it had been in the shop some where else they said it was fixed and sent it home they wen camping with it and same old thing start and die so I got started it and it died I knew it had been in the shop I had the paper work and knew what they did so started looking at it and the fix was about a cup  of oil called them they came in and I had a good laugh they were mad and headed for the place  that charged them to fix it I don't know if they got there money back or  not.

Yes it is working fine now was down for a while. How is life in your part of the world was about 63 and sunny and dry hear for a change. Hope all is well with you and your. Tom T
