@@Joshua-zl8xp I'm old. Please translate.

So the third contact point was present on your switch?

@@byronrace I have a makita DMP181（Manufactured in May 2023） The same switch appears on it, Thank you.👍

I opened the trigger switch and swapped the terminals around too. The switch opens easily by levering with a sharp blade. It isn't glued closed or have any clips. It worked a treat without needing to solder anything. I have the DMP180, just like the OP. I did need to bend the terminal by a few degrees though to avoid a clash with one of the screw points. Thanks for the inspiration @byronrace

@@marcusvernon4505 very cool to know, now I understand. I just assumed I would destroy the switch if I tried to open it.

The blue coupe, you bet!

It's all in the box

Glad to hear it, the way it should have been from the factory!

CCW rotation, normal for small engines. Backwards from late model club car, yes.

And this your box-stock engine, governed, untouched except for removal of airbox and fuel tank. It's good!

My video skills suck, but yes...it's a rapidly accelerating fun machine now, thanks for the great engine! I can only imagine what this would do with a high-rpm capable flywheel and a stronger rod with no governor and a bigger carb/less restrictive exhaust. It would be a holy terror. As-is, if I put a final chain drive on it to gear it up, I have no doubt it would do 30+mph, which is about 15mph faster than you should ever go given the brakes and center of gravity. It's a lot of fun.

Hey there! I left the engine governed and I'm using the factory carb/jetting with that low-dollar filter kit stuck on the end of it, and the exhaust is going through a very long pipe and a restrictive club-car muffler. The gearing is the same as a factory club-car, so at the governed RPM, the top speed is 15mph. However, due to your lovely 440cc engine, that's 15mph straight up a 15% grade or 15mph on the flats...which is exactly what I wanted. Also, 15mph is about the limit for being able to let someone else drive this thing without a rollover, so I don't intend to change it. The acceleration is outstanding compared to the stock 290cc engine. It's 0-15mph in 1 second on pavement; very fun to drive. Starts easily, idles smoothly, couldn't be better...and the price is amazing; quite a value. Thanks for the great engine.

Hi, I used a Jeremywell 40 series.

True story. Bought new ones on the return trip.

You get what you pay for.

You bet! The salt Eats! Both front brake calipers on the white 1995 Ford Pickup siezed solid after this adventure...even after the brakes were disassembled and pressure washed.

Sure it does. What are the options...when 200 teams have their gear out there already.

Yes

Yes but mostly flat water

And after you think you've cleaned it THOROUGHLY, go look in a month and you'll be reminded that too much is not enough.

I went with Rachio. Love it. Works so much better

12 valve Cummins pulled from a 92 Dodge pickup and it's a TCU directly from Howard's Allison conversions

You are most welcome! I felt better too; extracting the remaining value was entertaining. Such a dick move Scotts made. I'm done with that company for life. I went with Wyze and it's not as good as the blossom but works similarly as long as you don't use it with the automatic figure out how to water everything mode and is ok for my needs and was quite affordable.

@@byronrace Thanks, you turned my frustration into laughter 🤣
