    96% Inspection Failure Rate Of New York City Gas Stations

    I had heard the story for most of my driving life, boss says, don't bring the truck back with anything in it, you can upgrade but not the other way

    What does a chirpy rear diff sound like?

    Would it be worth trying to soak/spray the rear end and leaf springs with water and test drive? It might prove if it's a external noise? Water acts like a short term lubricant

    I'm going to burn wood for heat! (What do you say?) 🪓🪵🔥

    Years ago, the lesser hardwoods were not included in firewood. Now, I guess it's included. There are great btu charts available online, and I am jealous of the woodsplitter choice. I have a 1983 troybilt horse pto rototiller, un couple the tiller and hook up the splitter. It is slow but...

    I'm going to burn wood for heat! (What do you say?) 🪓🪵🔥

    One year I had all red oak delivered, that was a great year, well the next year anyway. I got spoiled with that wood. It hasn't been the same since, had a bunch of white birch last year, he won't be delivering again, lesson learned, ask what species is in the load on the phone order

    One more item, the ash is a great fertilizer, considered, 0-1-2, npk. I use a colander and shake it outside everywhere. Cuts down the cost on lawn maintenance

    I'm going to burn wood for heat! (What do you say?) 🪓🪵🔥

    I never thought of a metal cat litter scooper, same idea, I suppose, I got to investigate that. Growing up we had a woodstove, I had to relearn the whole deal, these new secondary burn stoves are a entirely different animal. Get it going, load it up , set the air damper and don't touch it, till...

    6 years ago, when I put in the woodstove I had to take pictures of the install. and send that to the insurance co. My premium did not go up. combo smoke detector and fire extinguisher were required

    Almost forgot, you got to name that thing, there will be some conversations, y'no, come on sweetie pie. When the air is heavy out and I didn't pay attention on a relight, I sometimes need a second go. That's when sweet talking helps, lol

    I'm going to burn wood for heat! (What do you say?) 🪓🪵🔥

    Wood is my primary heat, I get 6 hour burns on a fill up, your stove will probably be at least 8 hours. I have a woodstove vac. and a 4' long poker, it's easier on the back with that long tool. One thing I need to do is get a piece of expanded metal to swap out the bottom of my shovel with...

    That's what I have, and enjoy it 10' around the stove is hot, I wouldn't like that on the main floor. I average 2 and a half cord a year, I see you have a walk out basement, sweet, I have to carry wood down my stairs

    Honda EM5000S generator will not produce power

    Ok, I will check, I am thinking that this thing sat longer than I was told...and I caused the wear down on the brush, right? Sat for long time, slip rings oxidized, if that's the right word, I fired it up and wore the brushes down in a short time. It was a garage queen, never saw the light of...

    Honda EM5000S generator will not produce power

    Progress, I found 150 ohms across the brush terminals, not good I pulled the brush assembly and found one brush at the end of its wire, the spring was at its limit. The other was longer, well within range. And the ohms across the slip rings was 57. Would you agree that a brush assembly would be...

    Honda EM5000S generator will not produce power

    Watched another video, this one state's that I should see 55 ohms minimum, up to 80 ohms across the brush terminals, that's my next test, and if the # is higher, pull the brushes for a visual inspection. Oh boy, this is going a lot deeper than a carb. clean, lol

    Honda EM5000S generator will not produce power

    No power on the flashing method, bummer As far as wiring... this thing looks great, no green crusties on any exposed copper. I think it's time for a avr, I did some research, the common one is 15$, I have the other..more expensive one, 85$. Glad I looked deeper, I never have the quick to get...

    Honda EM5000S generator will not produce power

    This generator has a green light and a volt meter on it, both are not doing anything. The generator came from Port st. Lucie, in a air conditioned garage, what a easy life for it, lol. It's a 1995 and is in mint condition. I just searched for a avr, they are common failure parts from what I'm...
