    yeah i figured it would, and i'm and even worse electrician than i am an engine mechanic. LOL, just kidding. I work on some electrical stuff from 110v-480 1ph and 3ph, but when it comes to PLC's... keep 'em away from me! To me Ladder Logic should be common sense, i need to lean my ladder...

    Unfortunately in my Motocross days, i had a buddy that did all the engine work for me, i did all the suspension, brake, frame, etc. work. Never had much experience in working on engines besides an old Traxxas Nitro 4x4 R/C truck. With the stuff i work on now-a-days, 14' Cincinnati shears...

    so what's the "autotune" stuff? i haven't bought a new saw in about.... well, a while, so what's autotune and what's not, do they specify that in the specs? And i'm not afraid. I was back in my 1999 Kawasaki Ninja 600 Carburetor days, thought i was the man cause i could pull over on the...
