UPDATE: DEEJ IS A RETARD!!

OK in the picture above where the hole in the toilet is and I thought it was the cause of the running toilet problem, well it turns out that if I would have read the next paragraph in the troubleshooting chart, it mentions that the cartridge might need adjusted, but I stopped at replacing the cartridge, and then when I saw the hole I thought it was a broken piece, well after filling the thing with epoxy, two hours later I went to install the other one back on the other toilet where I had borrowed another tank, and I noticed that there was a hole in that one too, DOH!!!

It was then I realized that the water was supposed to go out the hole, so picture me with all the dental like tools and a dremel and any other tool I could think of getting the epoxy back out, it took me at least 30 minutes to get back to square one. When I installed the tank back on and the cartridge it was then I noticed in the troubleshooting chart that to turn in the cartridge until one thread was showing and then turn 1/4 turn and pause, then another and pause and so on until the sound changed and the tank started filling up. So all this time it was just a cartridge out of adjustment.[:@]

Two years ago I replaced all 7 of the tanks with this new style as the old ones were no longer available or any parts for that matter. Sheesh, well I certainly learned a lesson today, always read ALL of the instructions.

 

Oh and here is a picture of the tank.

 

That's such an awesome move Deej... way to go. Happens to the best of us.

 

The way I figure it, if I write about my mistakes, maybe I'll remember them later.

 

easy money. usually every site i work at we do all the piv,both pumps and smoke detectores. i even had to drain and refill the systems daily for construction purposes. my new site i don't touch none of it, cuz we don't own it. we have land lords[&o]

 

jeese deej if you take all that stuff apart, and with the job you have you would think you wouldnt mind tearing into the klx... im a cad operater and i tear into them....






haha look what i forgot was in my acct.....

 

Deej, I'm surprised you don't do more mechanical work considering your job. My job doesn't involve this stuff in any way shape or form, but I guess I'm not afraid to dig in there because I know I can fix it if I break it. It's just nuts and bolts, right?

The KLX:
















The KTM:















But I do usually manage to get it all back together. Except that one time my timing chain dropped off the lower sprocket and I didn't have the gaskets I needed to remove the right side covers in order to dig in there and put it back on. The shop bailed me out on that one. Even so, it was still cheaper than having the shop do the whole job.

I didn't grow up doing this stuff either, first time I dug into an engine was when I bought my KLX and did my first valve check. I'm a weekend hack at best.

The KLX guys think I take all these photos for their benefit. The real secret is that I use them to put my bike back together when I get stuck.

 

Look ... a typical KTM napping &trying to get out of riding. lol

 

Ha ha. It's been a very reliable bike so far. My next bike will most likely be another. Or maybe one of those new Husabergs if they decide to dual sport them.

 

Well if the dollar keeps declining....ya may be lookin at a Gas Gas
