We had something like this on the old site but I just added it to this one. This feature is enabled for Supporting members and Moderators only. Basically it allows you to ignore posts or entire forums. When you click on a forum, Watering Hole for example, you will see a button that allows you to ignore the entire fiorum. Alternatively, you can ignore single posts. If somebody starts a post in, example again the Watering Hole, if it is of no interest to you then you can go to the first post of that thread and click ignore. Ignored posts and/or entire forums should not show up on your unread posts, search results, etc. This is useful, for example, for those people who come here strictly for the technical advice. If they don't want to read the general chit chat of the Watering Hole or Jokes forums they can choose to ignore them. If there is a single post that is dominating their feed, they can choose to just ignore that post.

Thank you my friend, much better!

It is a good watch, reminds me why I don’t do social media.

Thanks cowpuc. Just so everyone knows, the link cowpuc gave is NOT the documentary that is on Netflix, it is a just a conversation about the documentary with Katie Couric.

No MarCarl, if you have Netflix do a quick search. You and cowpuc would like it. Edit: There is a Trailer too. This might link you https://www.netflix.com/title/81254224?source=35

Boy oh boy do I want to reply to that, but being the nice little rule follower I am I’ll leave it alone. No politics here boss nope none whatsoever.

thanks for all your hard work @Freebird. Well done and the banner photo is excellent.

Looks great Don. What you do and how you do it never ceases to amaze me 👍

The new looks great Don . It will take some time to work out the bugs if any. Keep up the great work and great website . Thank you for all you do for us

EXACTLY!!! Me n Sky,,, we are lop eared brake bleedin brother varmints LOL.. @BlueSky,, what you are describing is EXACTLY what I was trying to explain only I use a section of clear hose pointing upward away from the bleeder to capture the bled fluid so no air can get back into the system. I TOTALLY get what you mean about losing the pedal pumpers brother, TOTALLY!!! LOVE IT BROTHER!!! YOU DA MAN!

Easy enough from my looking in. Grab a carb making sure that it is install ready, so, no open ports, tape off the bottom (the part that goes into the boot or manifold), make sure it's sealed well, now slowly pour water down the throat and see where it comes out. The throat being the air intake part that is usually at the top. Now when the test is done, you could just turn it upside down to drain or you could punch a weeee little hole in the tape, and time how long that takes. Just a pin hole eh!?! Wanta keep you busy for a bit.

I think @saddlebum and/or @Marcarl can defend their own selves on this one but I do not believe the water finding its way to the bottom of the bowl is dependent upon pressure above ambient or vacuum for that matter so yes,, I agree @Patch , the 15 psi thingy is totally not relevant IMHO.. From that I would suggest just taking a small clear jar, fill it 1/2 full of gas, then take some coolant or just water and drip some into it and watch what happens. Once you notice the water collecting in the bottom take the jar and shake it,, after you do I have a gut feeling that the water will be gone as it mixes with the fuel BUT, if you let it sit the water will probably seperate and collect again at the bottom. Now add more water and keep adding water, over a short time I theorize that you will end up with full jar of water and no fuel present. Now if you keep adding water it will over flow the jar, which is what I am thinking Bum has been suggesting was the issue with Pops carb that ended up leaking water out of the overflow tube up on the frame that made it look like the frame was leaking coolant LOL.. If you are wondering if it would be possible for water to leak into the bowl thru the jets maybe you could take a piece of saran wrap. poke a few small holes in it to simulate the jets, put a rubber band around it so the saran wrap is held above the fuel in the jar, pour water across the saran wrap and see if the water will drip into the gas and if it does, keep watering it and see if it will fill the jar. Now lets see what the real guru's think...
