Paging Britt .... WELDING

Jesus, is there a 'Don't Feed the Welder' warning at the front door?....

 

Actually it's at the bottom of the Driveway...it says "No Trespassing".

 

Call this guy:

 

I don’t know. I thought he preferred you hang out for hours, give him some tips how to weld because you know how to do it but don’t have a welder. Then tell him he charges way too much. Top it off by telling him he looks like a redneck Yanni.
Serious note- being a “decent” welder I know the large gap in skill I have to weld like Britt and it’s the part of the curve that’s exponential. He’s one of only 2 people I know I’d trust to send anything to. Only reason I’d ever ask him the price first is to determine if it’s worth fixing or not. Like a good tattoo artist, don’t ask the cost- quality isn’t cheap.

 

Then you’d have to get him on FaceTime in order to give him advice

 

Redneck Yanni !!

 

What year YZ250? Cases for the the current gen (1999-current) and prior (88 to 1999) are pretty easy to source used. I've got a 92 with a similar hole, JBWelded and it's been solid for years.

 

Want to geek out? Ask Britt to post up his mailbox.

 

God Bless, God bless you Britt, God bless.
I'm headed to welding shop to buy all this stuff right now.
Thank you so very much, thank you so much !

 

I'm leaving for welding supplies, I'll come back and read/answer other questions or concerns later today.
Thanks guys!

 

Since when did duct tape become NOT the answer?

 

Man Lever could out weld Britt any day. And all he needed was some safety wire and jb weld

 

Whats the oil gallery for? These dont have pressurized oil, do they? It looks to me it just needs to be sealed up but not hold pressure and if thats the case jb weld would be fine.

 

Looks like the chain got hungry and took a bite out of clutch actuator boss. Seems to be splash fed from the trans and the gravity drains to the other end of the actuator and back into the trans. For off road riding, probably not too concerning if a small leak develops over time.

 

Do you aim for the copper with this method or still kinda favor the edges... I would cut it square and cut a replacement chuck the same size because I don't know that method.

 

Seems like an opportunity to add a tap and lubricate the chain.

 

That spot is really small..I'd weld it up and call it done...trying to weld a small square would just be a waste of time with zero ROI...IMO

 

I need to practice on thick aluminum...

 

That case is maybe 2.5 - 3mm the size of the photo is deceiving

You just light up on the edge, and establish a puddle...add wire and work around in a circle..filling in toward the center..close it up...done.

It should look like a tiny aluminum cinnamon roll when your done...
