My afternoon as only confirmed Darwin new bugger all ! Just come in after 2 hours fighting the CR125 that's STILL cluttering my bench up. On going to put back together I discovered some mechanical genius had put the motor back together with a spring and collar missing off the kick start and there's a spacer and gasket missing from the water pump. Then, to cap it all the same (I assume ?) moron, obviously wanting to save money as reused the O rings on the clutch and generator covers. To stop 'em leaking they filled the grooves with silicon bathroom sealant The trouble is, these clowns keep breeding, with a bit more mechanical apptitude bred out with each generation. Don't suppose the collective masses know any way of getting great dollops of still tacky silicone sealant off plastic covers ? Otherwise the whole bloody lot is going in the bin. RANT OVER, AS YOU WERE !!
We used to be able for fix anything with # 8 wire, sometimes when I needed to fix my fence I'd take a bit off my exhaust to do it. Silicon is the new age #8... Apparently the decline has been going on for a while... this bloke wrote: The young people of today think of nothing but themselves. They have no reverence for parents or old age. They are impatient of all restraint. They talk as if they alone knew everything and what passes for wisdom with us is foolishness with them. As for girls, they are forward, immodest and unwomanly in speech, behaviour and dress. some geezer called Socrates....
