    If a quarantined population reduces its current measures, the transmission of the virus will just take off again. The only way to go forward with reduction of quarantine is if Everyone uses PPE and if Everyone is routinely tested. If not, the upcoming reductions of quarantine measures is going to exterminate a lot of people. Warehouses filled with Darwin awards are awaiting to be posthumously awarded.

    Mainland Chinese Lies:
  3. I don't think we (humans) will be traveling anytime soon. People continue to be positive for months and possibly permanently (like AIDS). They do not seem to shake the disease (read link below). If such a person was sitting beside you on a plane.... tag! you got it. We will not get out of this unless a vaccine is found, and that may be a year or more. Also we may need to permanently isolate people with or, who had the virus. This is not the flu but airborne aids-like communicable disease that causes the blood in your lungs to clot and kill you. https://nationalpost.com/news/world/covid-19-china-recovered-patients-continue-to-test-positive-for-virus-months-after-contraction
  4. Pro way: hook a wide band mic ( piezo based) to your's engine car and run it through this software: https://www.vb-audio.com/Spectralissime/ get the car to knock and note the dominant frequency. Build a piezo sensor cavity tuned to this knock frequency done. Enthusiast Ways: If you want to do it in digital, use a general purpose piezo sensor and run the signal into a processor where you filter the knock frequency If you want to do analogue processing, send the sensor signal to a graphic EQ in your glove box and have only the knock frequency band raised. Send this to your retarding device..

  6. My Honda hits a/f ratios of ~ 25:1 but advance is only around 31degrees then.

    Yes it is just the flu and a natural virus,,,, you'll be sick for just a few days: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8237475/Chinese-doctors-critically-ill-COVID-19-wake-darkened-skin.html

    Sparky
  10. Yes they seem fine for plugs. You can check ignition in dark to see if wires are arcing. I had brand new Bosch wires do this on my Rav.... Made in China of course. Some spray salt water mist on wires but that is not nice on a non-beater engine.
  11. It could possibly be a noisy alternator or Vreg exhibiting +12V bus problems at higher rpms.
  12. This guy has not aged! Amazing!
  13. I see orange or brown, red, yellow, yellow..... looks like the error is two yellows... you will have to get schematic and trace/sound-out. Here is enhanced photo:
  14. The rods and springs are meant to easily and quickly pull out and re-seat. You can forget the springs. Saves you having to use wrenches.
  15. THANKS FOR THE LAUGH ?
  16. Better design. Everyone wants a longer rod:
  17. I wanted to have high advance at idle (say 20) but the problem is that it is too much to crank. Cars start up nicely with 0 to 5 degrees of advance. My solution was to run the choke cable to where the (removed) vac advance was and use this to retard the timing to 5 at start then move the choke lever to off to bring the advance to 20 after it started.
  18. Many parts are non-magnetic due to the magnetic sensors.... or for lower cost. CO has a basement full of goodies!
  19. Glad to help. Some options: https://www.pegasusautoracing.com/productdetails.asp?RecID=11426 https://www.amazon.com/Five-Oceans-Terminal-Circuit-Breaker/dp/B00JBL43MA?th=1 https://www.ebay.com/itm/Auto-Marine-Race-Rally-Motorsport-Circuit-Breaker-Blade-Fuse-/301069113114
  20. Urea based greases are used in many high-temp applications. Perhaps put a circuit breaker in your dash so that if it overheats again, you can let it cool and re-set the breaker.

    The disease seems to cause clotting in the lungs. The clotting also makes it hard for the heart to pump to the lungs as the "pipe is blocked" causing it to fail. Doctors are now experimenting with anti-clotting drugs. Stats also show that if you have underlying medical conditions like heart disease, diabetes, etc then the chance of survival diminishes. If we assume an obese person has heart disease and/or hypertension, and/or diabetes then these compound and contribute to lower survival rates.
