ClimbAnyHill Posted February 14, 2007 Report Share Posted February 14, 2007 Id make an electromagnetic hanger fisher with some solid 18 gauge copper and a few d batteries just becuase it would look cool. Magnetic drain plugs should be in any motor anyways. I didn't mean a maganetic plug in the motor, I meant a magnetic plug to replace stocker. Should there be any metal shavings then the magnetic plug would collect them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
headsup Posted February 15, 2007 Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 OK...here's me swallowing my pride - one for the, "how to make an easy job hard," file: When trying to change the oil I: 1. Rounded the plug - got pissed. 2. Tried to break it loose with a chizzle and failed. 3. drilled the plug. 4. Pushing too hard, drill bit broke through then broke off inside my freakin motor!! AAUUUGHHH!!! 5. Re-drilled with bigger bit. 6. Used an "easy out" - BROKE THAT OFF IN MY DRILLED HOLE!!!!!!!!!!! 7. Got Super mega ultra F'ING pissed!!!!!! 8. Took out anger and beat on chizzle harder. 9. Plug actually broke loose and I removed it. Now boys and girls, I have a drill bit inside my case. OH..I forgot to mention that it's on my kid's Blaster. If it were my Shee, I could just take off the right (clutch side) case and see through to the other side and fish it out with a magnet. However, the blaster case makes that impossible. So, I need a freakin' miracle. My thoughts: 1. Call all my buddies to see who has the smallest, most flexible magnet and try that. Didn't work. I need one that goes to 90 instantly after going through the hole. 2. Shop vac - bring it closer to the opening with suction. This really sounds stupid - but I'm gonna try it anyway. 3. Take engine out - shake vigorously, trying to coax the bit toward the hole...then somehow use a magnet to grab it. 4. Take the entire motor apart to get the damn thing out. You can imagine how much that prospect thrills me. SO, here's hoping that you all have some bright ideas on what I can do / try to avoid ripping the thing clear apart. The hole is just so damn small, none of the magnetic devices I've found even come close to being small enough or flexible enough. Thanks what would happen if you used air pressure to blow from the filler, might move it closer to the drain hole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wimpywade94 Posted February 15, 2007 Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 what would happen if you used air pressure to blow from the filler, might move it closer to the drain hole. I think you may end up with crank and case seal problems if not done very carefully though, wade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
