  1. At about 5:30 is where he's showing the adjustable vs non-adjustable carbs. Both high speed and low speed adjustments. These adjustment are for the air/fuel mixture. 6:40 is where he's talking about the main jet. It's not adjustable and needs to be screwed all the way in. Make sure it's clean by spraying with aerosol carb cleaner and compressed air 12:14 isn't the main jet, that's the idle jet aka low speed aka slow jet. It controls the low rpm mixture. It's what he's adjusting at 17:43. A starting point is 2.5 turns out. Again, this is air/fuel mixture, not idle speed, which is what he tweaks at 19:35. The last thing he's adjusting is the governor, which controls the maximum engine speed. The dying at full throttle or when the blades are engaged tells me the governor isn't correct. The noise in your video sounds like the starter isn't engaging. Could be a bad solenoid.
  2. This is what I was thinking. Did you define "clean"? Is there anything written to the effect of "full detailed strip and clean"?
  3. You won't find vacuum leaks with a flashlight, you find them with aerosol carb/brake cleaner. Start the (cold) engine and squirt little blasts of carb cleaner at the various joints between the carb and the engine. Wait a few seconds after each squirt. If the idle surges, you have a vacuum leak. If it has a vacuum diaphragm, it has a slide too. The slide is behind the throttle butterfly and moves up/down based on engine vacuum to allow the appropriate amount of air to enter the engine. It keeps the engine from stalling with sudden throttle position changes. And yes, you need to snug up the main jet. Not too tight as you can break the tube it screws into. The standard starting point for mixture adjustment screws (aka air screw, pilot screw,... ) is 2.5 turns out from bottom. Screw it all the way in until it GENTLY bottoms out. Then back it out 2.5 complete revolutions. Tune from there. This is mixture adjustment, not idle speed adjustment, which is generally a screw that adjusts the closed position of the throttle butterfly.
  4. You know her personality better than we do, but I generally agree that forcing it on her will just push her further away. Maybe a taser or pepper spray for her key chain?
  5. I also suspect gunk in the carb or a vacuum leak. Does it have a vacuum operated diaphragm and slide?

  7. Don't give in. Incorrect terminology is still wrong, even if it's "generally accepted", and that's not a good place to be.
  8. We like to think "not bloody likely" but it would seem anything is possible. We live in a world where the squeaky wheel gets the grease no matter how stupid, pointless, or just plain wrong it is. I'd also say assault weapons are already functionally banned, and have been since 1934. The few that do exist in civilian hands are fairly strictly controlled.
  9. I use the water cups too.
  10. Probably not... Vista Outdoor is excited about the potential of each of our core businesses, particularly ammunition, which is our largest core business." said Metz. "An increased focus on our heritage ammunition business will manifest itself in more innovative and breakthrough new products introduced over the next few years. We also anticipate that by prioritizing this business, we will be able to invest more capital to further enhance and expand our global leadership position." They're hypocracy only goes as deep as their wallets. They'll sell Savage and Stevens to someone else. Though it seems pretty clear that the market is relatively saturated.
  11. Once I got the tiller to run... I got the garden tilled last night and my wife planted this morning. Maters, beans, peas, zucchini, okra, peppers, spinach, cukes, ... I think that's it.
  12. Thanks, just curious. It seems that mags should be clean and dry to minimize the amount of dust that sticks to them.
  13. Was there any effort to clean them before reloading? Or were these partial mags that were picked up and reinserted?
  14. Recoil might sting a little.
  15. I have biowheel power filters. They're pretty easy to clean but noisier than I'd like.
  16. Try a belly band or smart carry holster. http://www.smartcarry.com/concealed-carry-holsters/
  17. Cool. I have a 50 gal tank with African cichlids.
  18. Danger Will Robinson! Danger!
  19. Looks to be in great shape. That crest is really nice.
  20. Kudos to Kyle for grace under pressure. I hope his parents burn those guys to the ground for questioning a minor without a parent or counsel present. For all the talk about bullying these days, that's exactly what they tried to do. I'd guess anything he said would be inadmissible given the method in which in he was questioned. Reminds me (and other parents, I hope) to talk to my kids about that and make certain they know they're not obligated to say anything at all without a parent present.
  21. Notice that both appear to have their fingers on the trigger and the kid on the left appears to have his MG pointed at the middle guy's back.
  22. A fiberglass tub might provide some cover from a flash/bang grenade and a cast iron certainly would. The compression wave would serve to strengthen both and the curved surfaces would help deflect the blast. Fiberglass would offer minimal protection from shrapnel. Cast would be better, but it'll probably break and fall apart in the process.
  23. Quite. I saw a great graphic that showed several hall of fame goalies and their goals against average. I can't find it now but it looked like this.... Roy 0.92 Hasek 0.94 Belfour 0.88 Foster 0.00
  24. And this guy.... https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nhl/blackhawks/2018/03/30/chicago-blackhawks-scott-foster-plays-emergency-goalie-accountant-nhl/472343002/
  25. Grohl seems to do that pretty regularly. It's become "a thing" at their shows where guys sit down front with signs that say "I want to play ____". So he brings them up and they kill it. Then theres this kid...
