Many of the older mechanics that are heading into retirement don't have enough young people moving into the trades We are heading into a shortage of knowledgeable young people in ALL the trades. Plumbers,Electricians,Carpenters, Sheetmetal, Roofers, Cabinet makers, Stone masons,Bricklayers and many more.. We have and abundance of people with Diplomas for jobs that are being phased out technologically. We are in dire need of trade schools.

Worthless site. Purely worthless information if it can even be classified as information.

The guy that started all of this is thought by many to be useless. I, on the other hand know that he can always be used as a bad example! Go ahead and argue "that" one!

I'm usually pretty good at catching shenanigans. In my life, I was got twice and got good. The first one was in a manufacturing plant. I was instructed to go to the toolroom and get a red ST1. I didn't know right off what it was, and when I got to the toolroom, the tool man said, "Write it down", I did and when I looked again I wrote Red STone. good one, fellas. The next one was with an electrician and he asked me to look in the top left drawer and grab me a Matterdatty. I opened the drawer not having any idea what that was, but thought I could single it out with the process of elimination. After identifying everything in the drawer I finally turned and said "What's a matter daddy"....that one got me good right there.

In the Marines we sent guys to the quartermaster to get a shoulder sling for a 106mm recoiless rifle or a box of grid squares.

I do this to check if the plugs are gas fouled ! If it burns that means you have gas or oil on it and it could be because of a few things like bad injector bad coil bad plug not firing if you have oil then it could mean you have a leaking valve seal valve or piston rings ect! Yes I'm old school mechanic! I'm 57 and been doing it since I built my first engine when I was 14

I think learning a trade will be more important in the years to come starting another boom for tradesmen. AI might be able to design it but I dont see it running gas lines to a furnace anytime soon. AI cant even pump my gas so I think Trades will always be needed.

We had a new guy at work and he was asking if he could help us. The guy I was working with asked him to go to the parts department and ask for a fillopion tube. He came back later telling us that they were all sent back to be revirginized.

yah but as long as the waterpump for the headlight isn't leaking the bike should run just fine..I mean if it had legs and running shoes..but that is the proper way to remove and install a new muffler bearing.
