Got me a 4" bull nose center that I need for a project. This is the second center I have from Z Live Center. Got it from Amazon for much cheaper than direct from Z Live Center.

That looks like a well made bullnose. Must have set you back a pretty penny.

It's no Royal but it's more than nice enough for me. Got it new for only $90 shipped from a 3rd party Amazon seller. I'm happy.

I've been eyeballing that center. That guy was $7 cheaper than z live center, either direct or resold by Amazon. Is the center actually branded zlivecenter? I've found that a lot of the nameless 3P merchants selling stuff on Amazon just pick a similar listing and ship some generic item. Amazon basically ignores the fakes unless the knocked-off brand is big enough to send in a team of lawyers.

That's funny cause I was scared of the same exact thing. Buying directly from Z Live Center would have cost me $44 more (they're in CA so I have to pay tax). On ebay it would have cost me $20 more. I was just going to buy the Shars HD one.

I decided to take the chance. The box for the center didn't look too good & looked like it was resealed. It did have the Z Live Center's p/n on it. Pulled it out the box & that was the first thing I checked for. Has the Z Live etching on it just like my other center from Z live & it looks unused. Lucked out on this one. Been looking at a bull nose for a while now.
 
Bought myself a label printer. I am trying to put stuff up and stored in a more systematic fashion. Need to label tool box drawers, boxes, etc. in the shop. It works like I wanted it to.

Go where no man has gone before.

Faced with the possibility of a broken or bent reed valve in my 50 hp Mariner outboard., I was thinking that I would have to do a complete tear-down to inspect the valves. then I found this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/401191563765

I ordered it eight days ago and it arrived this morning. For less than $14, shipping included, I can view the condition of the reeds by inserting through the carburetors. As a bonus, I can view the condition of the upper cylinders as well.
