Fixing or Flipping

Fixing or Flipping

We do things a little different around here.

We love the weird, the broken, and the "deals." We might be fixing it to keep or we might be getting it ready for it's next owner and flipping it. Honestly, we never know.

    Hey! It is really up to you! We sell mostly everything that we can verify the condition and measurements. Sometimes used motor parts are hard because you don’t always know how many miles or condition of the motor it was taken out of. Bulky items (tanks, fenders, wheels) require more time and patience when shipping but are totally doable. Thanks for watching 🤘

    I don’t feel sorry for anyone that gets scammed on these Facebook groups. There a guy and myself that took It upon ourselves to start warning naive people in three of the groups we are in and we both gave up. The scammers either blocks us immediately or the potential victim continues to chat back and forth trying to set up a deal. Few days later there’s always a post from the victim about being scammed. It never fails. Most of them deserve It at this point.

    I just bought a 04 at a brokerage. They were going to deliver it. One of the holddown straps broke the starter button off. Really ticked me off. Been waiting for almost a week for it. They are going to fix it but have to wait for the part.

    I hate the customers that purchase your part for a lowball offer then starts asking questions on what it fits 🤦🏻‍♂️ I had one asked 20 questions and wanted more pictures afterwards only to tell me he didnt like something about it and wasnt going to pay for it. Blocked immediately and reported to Ebay..🙄

    I do a limit on my best offers to prevent lowballs. I make my offer limit the lowest I am willing to take. Video games are the worst for lowballers. Not sure if its just people trying to get something for nothing like you said or if they are also resellers trying to get it cheap to resell for their own. I do free shipping on anything that will cost me $10 to ship and just mark the price up that much. Car parts I make them pay shipping. The shipping pays my time boxing it up. I also dont do returns unless I screwed up or if they do reach out, but they pay for return shipping. If they do all that, I'll refund them no matter what!

    So I have a softail evo here and I want to adjust the pushrods. The bike is noisy right now so I am sure it needs to be adjusted. My question is. With them all ready pre adjusted in the bike. Do I just get the cam to poition, and then adjust them to slight lash?

  • @fixingorflipping
    @fixingorflipping2 ай бұрын

    I would totally back them off and start over with the adjustment process. Usually once pushrods have been adjusted correctly, they don’t require re-adjustment. So if the bike was quiet and then over time got noisy,, you could have a bad lifter.

    If your ignition coils were original then they would have a yellow sticker on top with the Motorcraft logo. These are replacement Motorcraft coils so they were changed fairly recently. I would say the spark plugs were done at the same time in your case. Just changed my coils a bit ago and come to find out we hadn't changed them since we got the Ex in 2000. The coils were manufactured in 1997!

  • @HRMartin-ud1gf
    @HRMartin-ud1gf21 күн бұрын

    If they don't bleed down to the point where you can spin the rods with your fingers, you most likely turned more flats than is required for your specific push rods. Check your threads per inch and correct accordingly. S&S quickie push rods are 4 turns (or 24 flats) for example. Other brands may only require 3 turns, (18 flats).
