    Subway calls ‘emergency’ meeting with franchisees as sales plummet

    Gotcha. I was unsure as I've read that sometimes corporations are purchased, then saddled with the debt of purchasing entity. So evidently they had accrued debt somehow prior to their sale?

    Looks like my Hummingbirds have vamoosed.

    Ours are stills tanking up like crazy. Such feisty and territorial little devils too! They're always chasing each other away from our 8 or so feeders and chirping at each other. They move so darned fast and disappear, then reappear, it's hard to get a bead on how many there actually are!

    Opinions on this Kohler standby generator?

    'Aint that the truth! I have given up all faith and hope of ever receiving any, let alone good customer service/support for any product that I buy. I basically don't bother calling or emailing because I know that there is just nothing there... That said, I was more than just pleasantly...

    High end lawn tractors vs. other brands

    I know everyone is telling you to "buy once, cry once", but I will dissent.. I have a Deere L110 with a Kohler single cylinder that has 720 hours on it with absolutely minimal issues. Belts, a pair of deck bearings, a couple of idler pulleys and more recently a couple of steering linkages. Some...

    '90s Chevy truck elusive engine knock. Rod/Main bearings, or what?

    If you weren't experiencing any valvetrain noise to begin with, then I think that you really didn't need to adjust them. Sometimes after an extended sit, the lifters will bleed down some and "loosen". This is normal. Once you get it running and the lifters filled up, it would be wise to adjust...

    Brazil Plane Crash

    What altitude range or zone is icing most common at? If you encountered icing on one of your flights, what would you do and how long would it take for your actions to remedy the situation?

    Forgive me, BITOG, for I have sinned. N* owners/mechanics question.

    The name Northstar and easy to access are not synonymous...sorry. Rocker covers do leak - that's about as easy as it gets, the rest is all downhill from there

    Brazil Plane Crash

    Touching back on the icing topic - if icing is encountered and the prescribed course of action is to descend to warmer air, about how long would it take to remedy the situation? I understand that there are lots of variables, ie: plane design and anti-icing system type(?) and others no doubt...

    Tune up of old Generac 10kW EXL

    If the oil has never been changed, then I would recommend running a short interval or two on super cheap oil just to get rid of break in contaminants and whatever other crud is floating around in there. The other recommendations for replacing the plug and check valves are good ones too.

    Chinese 196cc diesel engine from Amazon?

    Nice work. You might think about bumping up the engine speed to get 62 - 62.5hz to account for sag.

    Friend needs a good new lawn mower due to health issues

    A good possible option. That could in theory be cheaper than a rider or zero of respectable quality.

    John Deere Z515E, better oil to use than Turf Gard?

    Gotcha. My town actually had a Gates factory for a number of years, they closed and moved those operations to another plant in... Oklahoma I think. That's too bad for all involved.. been there, done that with a different company.

    John Deere Z515E, better oil to use than Turf Gard?

    I'm a bit incredulous about this.. Are you referring to the entire company as a whole, a segment of it or a specific location?
