EXCEPT for those times the automatically 'tuned' valves don't. Or what I run into now is the 8KW generator needs to have the valve lash adjusted. The young guys don't even know what that means in the owner's manual. If you're one of those young guys, don't feel bad. Most of my generation (boomer) never wrenched either. I started at 6 (years old). You get really strange looks if the conversation ever goes that direction in a board room and you pipe up with specs for valve lash, or dwell, or point gap. It's almost like you are from Mars. What they don't realize is I'm looking at them like they are from Uranus. (most of them are an anus BTW)

I am a boomer and forever grateful that I learned to work with my hands at an early age. Working on engines, welding and woodworking fascinated me and not only benefitted me in my professional career but provides a great sense of enjoyment to this day. Put myself through college as a welder and mechanic and the things I learned as a kid starting with tearing apart lawn mower engines prepared me for working on large industrial engines by Wauksha and Mini Mo in the oil field. Unfortunately many young folks today never get the opportunity to experience such. Its doubtful many kids today can't even change a flat tire.

I am a boomer and forever grateful that I learned to work with my hands at an early age. Working on engines, welding and woodworking fascinated me and not only benefitted me in my professional career but provides a great sense of enjoyment to this day.

Unfortunately many young folks today never get the opportunity to experience such. Its doubtful many kids today can't even change a flat tire.

I too am a Boomer and I can do almost anything within reason. I rebuilt my first engine (Ford 302) at the age of 16. I've built additions onto my first house at the age of 22. I was tasked with doing a welding job (aluminum) for my son's high school football program.

We learned to use our hands for constructive causes.

Today's kids only know how to use their thumbs to play games and to type out a text on their phones. Now I know that's not true for all kids today because there are some like my kids that will get their hands dirty. I taught my daughter how to replace the brakes on her car. She was 17. My boys know how to gut a deer and butcher it well enough to not lose any meat.

All my kids know how to maintain an automobile properly.

I kinda fault our generation for not teaching them. Many wanted a better life for their kids, so they wouldn't have to work so hard. The only problem is that these kids never learned to work at all. There in lies the problem.

Much respect for speaking the truth. What's sad is whether its Communist China, Russia or Nazi Germany all the survivors say the same thing and the ones that they speak to vary rarely blink an eye.

Not true. I see plenty of young guys in the trades, and some of them are good at what they do. Not as many as years past, but there are lots of them.
