racinfarmer Posted February 3, 2018 Author Share Posted February 3, 2018 Got a Jack & Coke and am trying to figure out how to line up clutches on a 74 Yamaha GP292 without the proper tools and a aftermarket clutch. Might just have to wing this one... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

racinfarmer Posted February 21, 2018 Author Share Posted February 21, 2018 If any of you actually get your hands dirty and break shit off in threaded holes like me, I recommend a good set of straight flute extractors. Fleet Farm offer's a set from Irwin-Hanson that is made in the US and runs around $13. The bad news is they don't including the smallest one they offer in it, so you'll need to spend the princely sum of around $4 to procure that one separate. And if you are a spiral flute kind of guy; you know, twisted for her pleasure, they offer that style too for around the same price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holy shit, I missed this post, maybe. I'd spend the money and get a index of Norseman drill bits, also sold under the Viking name, maybe? You can find them at Harry Epstein. The drill bits are made in MN by the STP airport and the metal case by Huot, just off I-94. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zambroski Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Speaking of bits. Is anybody using one of those drill doctors or some other bit sharpening machine? I’ve got a drawer full of bits that I’m tired of hand sharpening. Was about to buy a new bit set but, saw one of those still doctor things...looks gimmicky though?

Not sure if it is cheap enough for me. Can probably find a pretty good ultrasonic cleaner used for that $500 price.

I have two drill doctors and a 6K automatic drill sharpener at work and to be honest the drill doctor does a pretty good job for what it costs. The 500 series drill doctor would be what Home depot sells which is the base machine which is fine for home/hobby. the 750x is more of the job shop model that can sharpen drills upto 3/4 and is a little beefier. I would say you could sharpen hundreds of drills on a single wheel which makes them a pretty good buy considering what cobalt drills go for. At work we have a computer controlled Darex that can sharpen 15,000 drills off of a single wheel. to be honest you would have a hard time telling the difference between the Drill doctor 750x and the top of the line Darex as far as drill quality unless you were working super alloys where drill angles come into play.

Yamaha sold more engines to others , than they sold sleds. Suzuki's had a decent , single , twin engine platform design , Wayyyyyyyyyyyy shitty center drive tracks, plus shitty primary clutch issues.

I'm having exhaust part issues. The flange/mid-pipe/can combos that I have don't match or mix and match, except my GP246 exhaust, which I'm not going to run on a GP292. And center drive tracks for lyfe, bitch. Edited March 8, 2018 by racinfarmer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racinfarmer Posted March 14, 2018 Author Share Posted March 14, 2018 (edited) I think this weekend's plans are going to involve drinking and sanding and oiling my work bench. And if any of you buttholes need to buy more tools, check out Harry Epstein. Edited March 14, 2018 by racinfarmer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
