that is my son and just got done dropping a 6 mm socket down a spark plug hole and rolled down a intake and ended up on the crank of my boss es GPR that I sold him?

String the kid up by his testys... JK.

Go to store and get one of those magnets on a bendable shaft, and shove down same hole as socket went. Maybe you'll get lucky.

I all ready pulled the head and cylinder got it out after the third one of course. He is only two and half leaning in over the boat with a ratchet and extention and socket and manadged to pop the socket off down the middle hole.
should I

A. bann him from the garage
B. bann him from my tools
C. count it as part of haveing a child

c. and d. ban yourself for letting him around that motor at 2.5 yrs. old

Maybe let him play with the end of the spark plug wires - for just a split second It'll teach him a lesson, no?

c) Count it a part of having a child.
d) Be proud the kid wants to do what dad does.
e) Get him/her some "play" tools and something he/she can work on with the play tools.

My boys, Greg (5) and Alex (3) always play around in my shop with me. I pulled my pump last night and Alex dragged it over to his tricycle and was trying to mount it to the back of it. LOL!

Agreed...'c' and 'd'

howesteck
He does!!! have his little work station & tools but those are boreing.

He's 2.5 years old. Just laugh about it, and tell him when he's older. Jeez man, you sound serious.

Do nothing..he shows promise as a certified Yamaha mechanic!!

thats what kids do it's all fun in the end after the work is done and your having a beer with your mates
i had a carpet knife fly out of the exaust of my drag bike at the start line,only found out on my next run when the starter brought it over and said i think this is yours it flew out of your bike on the last run,
one of my boys had stuck his hand up there as far as he could and left it there ,litle buger lol

kev

ps i don't even know how he got it in the first place but they have there way's

Be a proud dad that he is there wanting to be with you and wanting to help you "fix" things. I have 3 girls and they are always wanting to help me do anything when I am in the garage. No need to get upset as it can be fixed. It is just a minor situation as he is just a "kid" Situations like this can be looked upon as a learning event. When were were building our home in 2001, my middle daughter was 2 happended to get into her bedroom that the painters were painting and popped her finger-prints all over the window-sill. I was upset for a split second, but as a parent, I "knew" she did not know better and it could be corrected. To make a long story short, we left the window-sill as-is as a cheerful reminder of how cute it was "preserved finger-prints" and as she gets older, she can see how little her fingers were at the time.

But to make a long story short, maybe becareful where his location is next time he wants to help daddy "fix" things

Here is my youngest mechanic !
