Sparky Repairs, Saturday

[2-twin-devils-2.livejournal.com]

Saturday was never a good day to go to work... but the evening seemed to promise some interesting events, so they weren't entirely down about it.. plus! The engine had come in, and the twins were excited to see if that go-cart would start working now.

Sparky's is open.

John shows up a bit later in the day after putting away his travelling kit.

Shiny!Engine kept calling him.

Both wave all cheerily when he comes in. "Heya John!"

[apocalypsesoon.livejournal.com]

"GAH" John turned around from where he was petting the engine crate. "Don't DO that!"

[2-twin-devils-2.livejournal.com]

They snicker, about to leave anyway since it's getting around that time. "That look good enough for ya?" Kaoru leans on the counter.

[apocalypsesoon.livejournal.com]

"Is pritty." JOhn catches the drool before it falls on the engine.

He starts undoing the crate so he can get at the engine and start tweaking it.

Both come to watch over his shoulder. They had no real idea what the thing they'd asked for looked like...

[apocalypsesoon.livejournal.com]

"Um. Guys? Where did you get this?"

[2-twin-devils-2.livejournal.com]

"From home. We pulled some strings...and got it." They both nod in unison and continue to look.

[apocalypsesoon.livejournal.com]

"Do you know what this is?"


[seriously. DO you know what it is? Is it a small lawnmower/snowblower type engine, or is it more like a motorcycle/dirtbike/ATV engine? XD srsly!]

"Let's see..." Kaoru tapped his chin. "Kyouya-sempai has some relatives that make cars and bikes in Japan... I think it's some sort of small bike's engine. Like a vespa." They both shrug.
"Is that not right? We could send it back."

"No, actually, it's great. Should provide a good weight/power ratio. I was thinking," John said, starting to dismantle some of the assemblies to give them a coat of lube and sealant, "that I'd have this underpowered lawn mower with wheels, but this... this might get highway speeds." His grin is barely visible, but it's beaming.

He looks at the twins. "Righty, can you get me that can of oil on the second shelf there? The lube. Lefty, how's about you bring me the socket set." John's grin may have been contagious.

[2-twin-devils-2.livejournal.com]

They both smirk and nod, Kaoru going over to search for these... sockets... and Hikaru grabbing the can of oil carefully. He never really handled the messy stuff very well, so he held the can with only two fingers from each hand and brought it over to John.
"Right... here you go."
Kaoru followed up not too much later with the set.

[apocalypsesoon.livejournal.com]

"COol. THanks." John pried the plastic lid off hte can of lube and dipped two fingers in. He coated the moving parts with it and looked around for a rag.

"Um. Can one of you toss me that rag?"

THe rag in question was dirty and oily, with a few places to grab that wasn't soiled.

[2-twin-devils-2.livejournal.com]

Both made a face at the finger dipping and then glanced at the rag. Ew. Finding a clean screwdriver wasn't too difficult, so they utilized the clean thing to pick up and move the dirty thing over to John.

[apocalypsesoon.livejournal.com]

"Thanks." John wiped the grease off his hands and picked up the socket set. Finding the sockets and extensions he needed, he worked his way around the engine, dissassembling and lubing everything, and using sealant where necessary.

"Okay, this'll be fun." He moved the engine, still on the crate pallet, onto a hand cart and wheeled it out the side door.

"Oh, crap. Almost forgot."

[2-twin-devils-2.livejournal.com]

The twins, almost out the door-since he seems to be doing fine on his own-turn. "Hmm?"

[apocalypsesoon.livejournal.com]

"Fluids. Duh." JOhn's smile didn't lessen as he got the oil and gas and added them to the engine.

[2-twin-devils-2.livejournal.com]

Both chuckled a little and gave him a wave. "Have fun~"

[apocalypsesoon.livejournal.com]

"Oh, I will."


ANd in about 3 minutes, a loud rhythmic noise was heard on the side of the Sparky shop. THe noise of a working engine. And John whooping it up.
