Built a muffler last night (really pleased with how it came out and sounds). Woke up with a sore throat. By lunch a had just a touch of the shakes. Called the FLAPS where I bought some of the piping and they guy said it was galvanised. When I bought the stuff, I specifically asked about this, as it was hard to tell if the parts were coated (not the usual sheen). The other guy said he thought they were just aluminized and would be fine to weld. Being a beginner - I believed him.
Any idea how this will last? I spent a continuous 2-3 hours last night breathing this crap. I litterally feel like I have a mild flu. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) |

Jeez Scott... I never believe what FLAPS guys tell me. They've been wrong too many times. Sorry about that Scott get well soon. I agree with Mike on this one. those FLAPS guys are mostly just trying to get through their day some are good, but some are terrible. Never trust them unless you know them and have lots of repeat experience with the same guy. Monday my bike broke down on the way to work. Battery was dead. I'm assuming the alternator is out, but I take the battery into checker and its reading 10.8volts. I ask the guy if he can charge it. He puts his tester on and on his machine its 11.2V He says the battery is fine. I tell him that I know its ok under load but needs a charge so I can get home. He insists its just fine as is, and I have another problem I need to fix. Again, I agree I have a charging problem but I also want him to charge the battery and I point out this is a 12volt system so the battery is low. He insists the battery is fine as is. I catch a ride home, charge it for 20 minutes, get another ride back to the bike, and ride home with the battery at 100%loss. Flaps guys can be terrible. |
