Yeah, we need a cat. Maybe two or three of them.
I also need another hole in my head - Can you tell I'm not a willing "Cat Person"?
I put the Speedster up a couple of feet on the lift for the winter and that seems to keep them out, but I am not sure about that - They're crafty devils.
After several bouts of a heater fan chock-full of mouse-nest in my daily driver (MAN! How they rumble and shake when there is a nest in there), I got really good at removing the heater blower. Out, cleaned and back in took about an hour in a Nissan Rogue, but the Rogue just got replaced by an Acura RDX so I'll have to learn that stuff all over again. The good news on the mouse front is that there was no nest in my lawnmower when I opened it up yesterday.
Getting the Speedster back together is taking forever due to "supply chain issues". I got the new Sachs clutch kit in less than a week (from JBugs) but had been waiting on new cylinder head tins and other goodies for a couple of weeks from a different vendor. Just cancelled from there and re-ordered from JBugs who's website shows them in stock. I hope they'll show up at the end of the week. In the wait time, I've been re-painting things that were last painted 20 years ago and replacing all of the heat shield gaskets. Mine are, of course, unique, because I designed them before I found this forum to make it easy. 🙄 I will also be replacing the sump gaskets today.
OK, back to twiddling my thumbs and waiting for parts.
