Yep..1/4 turn stops when possible. Sometimes not possible so ya gotta fix the oil one. And yes a standard washer will fit over the barb..just gotta eat your Wheaties...and waterproof grease when reassembling and on that washer also..it will go.

Fluidmaster makes a good closet seal for this situation. Here in the old northeast the american standard toilets of the 1920's had the outlet a good 2 inches past the toilet base. Would extend well down inside the waste line. I figured they got broke fairly easy during the train ride so they...

I use a copper grease used in plumbing. Also ti prep for al seatposts into a ti frame is copper grease. Supposed to be used as pipe sealing compound but sucks for that..

A friend of mine put in an IBC wall hung space/domestic heater. Got a call from him to diagnose a code and no domestic hot water. After reading the service manual there is a setting...comfort setting..that keeps the unit hot at the domestic temp setting. When i got there the unit was turning on...

..put the thermo in pot of water..heat while monitoring the water temp with thermometer.

As above...heat at idle and slightly above is your friend. Thermostat on that model is easy to replace if needed. 140-150f at low speed is correct. I run 32/1 on mine with little smoke...there should be some smoke though. I can only put my hand on the thermostat for 2 seconds or less at trolling...

50/1 is adequate in perfect conditions to make it past warrantee period. 50 years owning so many 2 strokes have never run into carbon or reduced equipment life...smoke just lets me know things are correct. Lastly companies are there to make investors money...as long as the public doesn't know...

imho..oil in a 2 stroke has one job...lubricate. Many want less smoke, maybe some detergent to keep things from sticking like rings. 2 stroke oil of today is formulated to do other jobs also other than lubricate. I could not care less about those other things. I want film strength for my piston...

No No! The lubricating oil from WM is not motor oil. It is brightstock for pass-through applications. Aviation piston engines usually don't use motor oil like what we discuss here..

...not a bad thing to cool the radiator down...might help with the tranny cooler which is on the cool side of the radiator..

What exactly is proper 2 stroke oil...can't even get a consensus on what is a proper 4 stroke oil. If one visits screamandfly boat site many mix in aviation piston motor oil with their favorite 2 stroke oil. I'm not too good at following the corporate line..or company line of bs. I'll listen to...

...well...here goes...I mix 1 part supertech tcw3 with 1 part walmart 30wt lubricating oil at 32/1. I use it in everything...tiller, ditch pump, wacker, blower, outboard, lawn tractor, chainsaw circa 1964 that runs great, Kohler K motor on my welder/gen, and pressure washer.

If I was a chick I would look exactly like that chick...

...well...ya never know what yer gonna have to work with..my son has been mentally ill since he was 16. He is now 32 and he is skizo-effective now. My dad lived through the great depression and the second war. Always said to keep hair short so no one can grab it during a confrontation. Keep...

Yes it is...I run one ounce/five gal or so. Been doing the mix for 40 years. Makes pulling plugs outa aluminum head a pleasure also... 350,000mi on a 2002 5.4 ford 290,000mi on a 2004 2.2 ecotech Both use no oil to this day...

2 stroke or 4 stroke?..don't see any oily exhaust there...Try thehulltruth forum...this happens usually with the 4 strokes...sometimes the mid will get hot then during decell the water flows into the hot mid...that has happened with 4 stroke outboards.

That is not the handle in the other pic. If that particular moen handle has a bad set screw I would cut off the end of the handle leaving an opening for a phillips screw to be backed off. Then I would get another handle. I get a least 1 moen faucet to repair per week for the past 40 years. When...

...that does not use set screws. The whole handle and trim remove together. Looks like a Delta that one buys the handle insert separately..either chrome or porcelain. Moen also has a newer style that the handle and trim are all one...whole assy simply unscrews reveling the cartridge.

Usually with that style of handle the whole assy unscrews...trim and the handle together. The op was about that moen chateau or the positemp in the pic....not sure what your point since that style doesn't use set screws.

Drill end of handle so ya can just unscrew the Philips head screw out of the adapter. Ya have to get close to center of the handle to get to the screw. Usually those set screws are very hard and screw up the drill before much material is removed. Backing out that Phillips head screw is alot easier..
