    With all of the oil cleanup methods described above it must be stressed to also replace the oil filter with each of the changes. These cleaning methods will not only get the water contaminated oil out of the engine, but will also clean out any sludge that may be inside of the engine. these chunks of STUFF will fill the filter pretty quick, you sure do not want to be driving with a plugged oil filter. If it were me, any time I have the heads off of anything, it gets a valve job too. Have the shop check the heads for flatness to see if they are warped. Check the deck on the block to see if it is warped. If the block and heads are warped, you might be cheaper off with a low miles used engine.

    It can be done with some pirating software, But YouTube intentionally made it difficult to do so that it is hard to steal there content and replay it without them getting paid by the advertisers.

    Geeez Bob Maybe it is a good thing that you did not make it into my basement while you were here....... Could have been dangerous.........

    I sure hope to make it on the bike. Worst case I may have to cage it.

    The cowboys are going to get Packed up and sent back home for the winter. I wanted the Lions to win so that the lions could go and beat Seattle and then come to Green Bay for the NFC Championship game. As it is Carolina will get to come to Green Bay and soak in the near zero temps.

    This is painful, sitting here rooting for the lions.........

    What bulbs did you get? Where they cheepos? I have not heard of this issue before. I would start by testing the bulb socket with a volt meter to see if the polarity is actually reversed, I'm betting its not. I would the n make up some jumper wires and test the bulb direct to the battery to verify the bulb function and polarity. If the bulb is reversed polarity I would contact the place you got them from to see if the can be exchanged for good bulbs. Trying to rewire the bike to make reversed bulbs work will open a whole new can of worms, it is not going to be as simple as switching a couple of wires.

    This aint really the place for an aircraft debate, I would love to discuss airplanes with you in person some time, maybe at Dons MD. I bet we end up almost agreeing. I totally do not understand your correlation of yoke position, CG, and death trap. Most (not all) aircraft, certified or non certified, have the yoke/stick well in front of the CG.

    Dingys getting a new milling machine............. It was close but the TES nearly got to my ICC wen I saw such a deal on a new TIG welder last month. A Miller Dynasty 180 for only $800, with extra consumables. I fear that there may be signs of Mature Stage creeping in since I was able to be reasoned out of it by a stack of medical bills. Once one hits the Mature Stage all that is left is the end.

    I got my info from the FAA regs (FAR) Part 103.1, look it up in your FAR/AIM book. The CGS Hawk Ultra does meet the specs for ultralight that I mentioned, the rest of the CGS Hawk line does not meet the legal definition of an ultralight and are not legal ultralights. The Quad City Challenger also has one specific version that is FAR 103 legal and meets the requirements that I mentioned. There are many aircraft advertized and sold as ultralights that do not meet the FAA definition of an ultralight. Both of these are single seat and under 254 lbs, Neither of these are even close to the Aeromobile.

    Not by USA standards. AN ultralight must be; single occupant. Stall speed under 25 MPH. top speed under 60 mph. weight under 254 lbs. max fuel capacity 5 gallons. They do not give a weight in the specs, this might qualify under the lite sport aircraft rules, which are a lot different than an ultralight. Either way I have my pilots license. Even though there is no way I can afford one, I want one.

    Some are just more equal than others.
  16. Flyinfool
    Yup, I want one.

    Lucky you. Tucson has had more snow this year than WISCONSIN. All we have had in Wisconsin is bright sunshine and warm weather. We have had to keep our ice in the freezer up here.

    That brings up the questions How old gets pruned? If there is an old post in the watering hole that should be saved, how do we move it to a tech folder to avoid the pruner? Hey! arent you supposed to be out playing instead of messing around here?

    Since I am not borderline diabetic and was given no dietary constraints for my heart, I'll be the martyr and eat all of your deserts and ice cream for you. Of course I will be sure to tell you how good it is/was. Its the least I can do to help you out.
  23. Flyinfool
    I only wish I could get out and do stuff like that.

    I have had packages shipped from China to Wisconsin. The package made it from China to our loading dock faster than it made if from the loading dock to my desk.

    Hayward is a nice area any time of year.
