    Lithium starting batteries

    I might would wait a couple of years before putting a lithium-ion battery in a boat to see what other boaters go through with them after a while. Let someone else test them. I could not trust it as of right now. When lithium-ion batteries burn, they burn hot, like a blowtorch. I would worry...

    Building Another One

    Well, things have been moving faster than I thought it would in my build. I have found some good deals on the parts needed and have put it together already. I fired it up last Saturday and all is well. The only hiccup I had was that I purchased Windows 11 Pro on DVD and had to go through the...

    Johnson Starter Nut

    One thing about thread fit that not a lot people know about is the class of thread fit. It determines how tight or loose the mating parts are. Some fit classes are very loose while others are very tight for the same thread. There are class 1A, 2A, 3A and 1B, 2B, and 3B. 2A and 2B are the most...

    Leaded Aviation Fuel?

    The lead is to keep the valves seats protected when running in a lean condition. On piston driven airplanes, you have control over the lean or rich mixtures of the fuel to the engines. Lean is hot and rich is cool.

    Leaded Aviation Fuel?

    The only advantage would be your gas would be a pretty shade of blue until you poured in the two cycle oil. That is all.

    Johnson 15 hp Cuts Out

    Check your fuel lines. Sometimes a fuel line will develop an inner layer delamination and create a blockage in the line like a bubble. It may run a minute or two and then die when the bubble expands and blocks the line. Pumping the primer bulb would just make that bubble block the line even more.

    Building Another One

    I am going to use an Asus GT501 case. It is not too fancy. I am not into the LED lights for flashy purposes. They offer no performance increase and my case will not be seen by many anyhow. My desktop computer now is ten feet away from my desk so I don't see it much myself. I actually do not turn...

    Building Another One

    MN Fisher. When I built my current one in 2012, I went with Windows 7 although Windows 8 was out, because of the reports of so many bugs in 8. I did upgrade to Windows 10 when it came out due to the fact that I was told that would be the last version and Microsoft would just keep updating it to...

    Building Another One

    I am in the process of researching computer parts now to build another desktop computer for myself. I built my first one in 2003 and my current one in 2012. All I know right now is it is going to be an ASUS Motherboard since my first two were an ASUS and I have had really good luck with them. I...
