Put some of them on wheels so you can move them out of the way when not in use. I got a brand new 1/2 hp clutch motor for around $100-$125 with warranty for my 17w15. I had the same clutch set up you have, the clutch motor eliminates that. I've got a BAD bearing in the motor of my 31-20. I figure by the time I disassemble, metal spray the shaft, bore and sleeve the housing to restore the bearing fits, I'll probably have 7 hours in it. Not worth it, I'll just buy a new motor. And I'm with Jerry, get rid of the cogged belt Where did you get the motor/clutch? Any modification required to make it fit/work with the machine/table? I just need to find a new belt, as I don't like the one that's on there, I think the sides are rubbing causing friction on the clutch.

Crap, I only have room for 5 more. What am I looking at for a new motor, price wise? The one I've got works, so I'm in no hurry. I have time to find a deal. I've got to at some point tear this thing apart and get rid of all the spray paint that's covering this thing up, guess it'll be fun, right?

In a couple weeks I'll be in a confined space with her on a saturday night, where she will be spreading her legs and going up and down for about 5-10 mins. Any tips?

Just for comparison, take the Angelfire reserve (the jump shack). Even the 97ft² reserve is certified to 254 lbs. That's about a 2.6:1 w/l "I may be a dirty pirate hooker...but I'm not about to go stand on the corner." iluvtofly DPH -7, TDS 578, Muff 5153, SCR 14890 I'm an asshole, and I approve this message

With all due respect, that is your words vs. Performance Designs. I know who I will believe. That's fine. Keep in mind PD aren't the only reserves out there, other than that, the PDR-126 has a max weight of 254 (certified under C-23c(b) ) that means you can LEGALLY load it at about 2.01:1. The PD-Optimum is certified under C-23d, and has a max weight of 254 lbs as well. so that will bring you to a ~2:1 with that one as well. Also, the OP said that the person was loading it at ~1.4, you quoted only the >1.4 portion of the manual. Furthermore, there is no canopy coach instructional rating, so who will sign off in the logbook that they're competent enough to jump it? Coaches are instructional ratings, so you think a coach with 100+ jumps has the knowledge or ability to properly coach someone on jumping a tiny canopy? Could you coach him on jumping a reserve loaded at 1.4? You have over twice the minimums for getting a coach rating.

That's correct, maximum weight is the absolute limit. I should have noted that they must be within the TSO limitations. My bad. "I may be a dirty pirate hooker...but I'm not about to go stand on the corner." iluvtofly DPH -7, TDS 578, Muff 5153, SCR 14890 I'm an asshole, and I approve this message

I was thinking it was the brushes as well, figured it probably wouldn't hurt to put new ones in. the commutator could be it too, and the machine has been sitting for a while (typical 'belonged to grandma, no clue how to use it' seller) How much am I looking at?

There's no law that states you have to be good enough to jump a tiny reserve. Once you have a license, you're legally allowed to jump whatever certified reserve you want, within the manufacturers design limitations and TSO doesn't make it smart, but you can do it. I was doing my coach course, during the break there was a guy that had about 75 jumps looking at buying a rig way too tiny for him, he easily weighed 200 slick, the main was a 150 and I believe the reserve was a 143. He had already had a ride on the reserve at one of the FL dz's (either sebastian or z-hills) where he landed fine, so he figured he would be safe in the rig. What he didn't think about is that he was landing into a nice steady headwind... a nice large landing area... during the day, under those conditions, you can usually land a smaller canopy with no trouble. Nothing we said would convince him to not buy the rig (it was a hell of a deal for a new jumper afterall) and obviously nobody stopped him from jumping it at other dz's, so the best we could hope for was that the S&TA would tell the DZO to ground him with it. PLF's are fine and well, but screaming in under a tiny little handkerchief is going to hurt, ask him how he liked landing in 20+ mph winds under the T-10. How fast will that reserve fly, running with the 10mph wind speeding it up a little, on a down wind landing, when you're low and have to make a quick landing call and don't have time to check the wind direction and speed, in a back yard surrounded by fences while jacked up on adrenaline (which causes your fine motor skills to go right out the window). My reserve is larger than my main, I don't want to have an emergency and instantly downsize while I'm already low.

At the new years boogie (z-hills) one of the old farts that was sitting around the fire with us (the second or the third, so most the younger jumpers were gone) had some baileys that he gave us some of. Tasted pretty good... then he told us it was home made I'll check my phone, I know I texted it to Bolas, so that should be a start. It was damn good though, especially for being homemade.

The clutch is completely disconnected when I start it, and the flywheel spins freely. I just have to give it a little encouragement and it will start right up after a few seconds of spinning.

I don't think I'm going to need to slow it down any, I was just curious about the belt, as I was pretty sure the one I used before was more round than v-shaped. I'll probably bug MEL for some parts.
