  1. Correct Alex. 2.5 turns down is just the starting point for tuning a 2.4 litre. A larger engine ( like yours ) will need more fuel so the jet should be lower than 2.5. Or you can buy richer needles. ?

    ? I worked at an Earth Station using Intersputnik and Intelsat birds throughout the 90's. We won a contract to be a TT&C site for INMARSAT and were involved in getting 5 satellites in orbit. 2 Ariane, 1 Proton, 1 MacDonald-Douglas and 1 Martin Mariette. The tracking systems were Vertex from Kilgore, Texas. I reprogrammed one (geosynchornous) to track Early Orbit (elliptical) for fun. Those were the days! My closest to being and Astronaut... a dream from childhood.
  3. ~2008 Nissan suspension from internet.... pick any vehicle. They had a severe dissimilar metal corrosion here due to salt on roads. My Zclub buddy finished 2nd in a Nissan Mechanic competition held in Japan many years ago. He sees it all. He warned us about this. He fixes up and flips cars. Some of the corrosion was warrantied.

    The think what they see is like chickenpox...reactivation. e.g. get cleared from this hospital after fighting it then go home to your family in isolation... in a month when it reactivates, you give it to your family. They could be dealing with false negatives but ~ 100 people have shown this in Korea and China reported it in February. I always wondered why all survivors released from hospitals in China wore masks.

    Hey all, listen up..... this is bad..... there does not seem to be a clear way out of isolation: 1. I was just out for the first time to pick-up on-line purchased groceries (they put in bed of the truck so no contact). I was shocked to see so many people so close together and without masks! This virus is going to burn through like a wild fire with this ignorance. We can not turn this around until this behavior ends or the risk takers die. 2. It now seems the virus can come back even after you survive then test negative. Crap data eluding to this has leaked from China but absolute data is now coming out of Korea. This means we can not stop spreading until the virus and those who were infected die.... we are ****ed until a vaccine or similar is found. DO NOT TAKE RISKS AND GET THIS VIRUS THAT DOES NOT SEEM TO GO AWAY. YOU NEED TO SURVIVE UNIL A VACCINE IS FOUND. 2. We need 100% masks and goggles and 100% regular testing before even thinking about coming out of isolation. 3. China (The World experts on their monster and 4 months ahead of us....look there to see the future) is not able to come back from isolation... have a look at what is going on there now:

    Xenophobia in China.... heel yes. I was bringing two customers from Hong Kong into China in 2010. They took us to 3 separate areas. I got through (Canadian Passport), one customer got through (American Passport), one was held behind (American Resident with Côte d'Ivoire). I had to go back to help. Even though we all had invitations and correct documents, he was not getting in. Once I pulled out my Huawei ID, they immediately changed their minds and we all got through. The poor Africans stuck in China ?
  7. Here is what lead to this. The washer reported a nd code for no drain. I slid it out and cleaned out the pump (on the back). We ran a load and during the spin cycle, the washer started knocking mid-way. We went to have a look and smoke like artificial fog (think rock concert) started coming out of the drum. A strange rubber smell but no burning smell. Upon inspection, the drum was off-centre and rubbing on the front seal. The smoke was from wet abrasion of the seal. I have not opened it yet, but it is clear the spider has finally broken after ~ 9 years.
  8. My annotations did not make it to the post. The crappy Samsung design has a white metal spider connected to a stainless steel drum in a damp environment spinning in a huge magnetic field. You could not have better engineered a galvanic corrosion machine..... well I guess the rear trailing arms of the Nissan products from ~ 2008 come close. Bottom line is that it WAS a great washer and looks great from the outside but the inside has rotted. We just ordered a MADE IN USA SPEED QUEEN with 7 year warranty and industrial components. Now the fun for Janet and I to remove the dryer that is on top of the washer. ? Always fun to be had!
  9. They look Klingon origin?
  10. It seems to be a new bug @Mike I found that if you save (submit reply) the post then go back in using EDIT, it will auto format when the link is re-pasted. but I notice that your video is set to private so it may need a parameter change.

    Thank you Mainland China for letting this spread in January when you knew it passed human-to-human in December and said it did not:
