Once again, it's time for the FNGT!

If you don't know how this works, click this link. That link will take you to another site to give you some additional information and tell you about some of our off-site features. That's also the site where we will host the weekly guitar threads, should Poal go down.

NOTE: That site is by invitation only. If you want an invite, and you're a regular participant, then just ask Crazy, or myself.

If you do know what's going on, you probably don't need to click that link - but you may want to, to make sure you know of the other features, such as the archive or a separate forum that's invite only.

Remember, we are guests here on Poal. Let's act like it. If you're interested in supporting Poal, then you can donate.

Yeah, we don't really fix much anymore. We just replace stuff when it gets broken.

It seems a bit wasteful, but it might actually save time/costs and have other benefits.

Im sure it saves time

Man... I remember ripping a carb apart to fix with a rebuild kit. They still have rebuild kits for them, but I doubt most folks would do that.

You could take your starter apart and put in a new bits. You could get your alternator rebuilt - or rewind it yourself if you have the tools. Tires would get retreaded. You could get new gaskets for your AC - but I pretty much never had AC back then.

The list goes on...

And, damned right, it has to save time - at least for the person doing the work. I'm not going to fuck around with a starter. I'm just going to replace the fucking thing - and not with a rebuilt one.

There is a shop not very far from me that rebuilds starters and alternators that I use when mine go bad. They do a great job
