Yeah you get huge discounts if you have other policies with the same company, my car insurance went down $35 when I put my renters insurance on, and the renters insurance was only like $70

Yeah, most companies do that, that's how my parents is set up, our direct tv phone.... our insurance... etc

nice discounts.

something is wrong here....

Yes, seriously wrong. You are searching for POS japanese crap. Stop.

LOL!

Ok fair enough.

fried chicken. SO yummy...... It's even worse when you can't have it

I have been got the whole chickens from costco for <10 bucks for two 4.5 pounders. Spatchcocked them and browned and roasted with fresh rosemary, thyme, taragon, and then a chalot and some garlic cloves. It made 6 meals itself for adults. The best part was frying the bones afterwords with more rosemary and taragon and pepercorns. I made ~gallon and a bit more of the BEST chicken broth I have ever had. I made it a bit reduced and a bit salty so I could cut it with water.

Dear lord it is good.

I haven't had fried chicken in ages ! You guys are making me hungry

According to the data, women typically base their purchases on rear visibility, cost, front visibility, remote side mirrors and side air bags, in that order. Well, the last three are tied, but pretty much in that order.

And what about guys? Brace yourself for some life-altering revelations. According to CNW, styling, horsepower, engine design, front visibility and the vehicle's sound system are the top five priorities for men.

I haven't had fried chicken in ages!

Blasphemy

Quick question for you pros here in the hop.

Im working on getting a self propelled lawnmower running again. The lawnmower is in great condition.

I have changed the oil and cleaned up the spark plug.

I prime the little bubble about 4-5 times, pull the string, it starts for about 5 seconds then dies.

So it is only running on what i prime into the engine. So my plan tomorrow is to take the carb off and clean it up.

Any other things i should look for?

Depends on a few things really. Does the priming bubble seem slow to recover? That is, does it stay collapsed? On the carburetor, does it have 2 fuel lines coming into it? What brand? On the carburetor, does it have a bowl or are the lines a direct feed into the side of a small square shaped carb?

A few things come to mind. If it does not have a bowl, I see a lot of the pump diaphragms go bad, and a carburetor rebuild is on the menu. These carbs are really simple, just a few parts really. Just get a sharp razor blade, a can of carb cleaner, and the carb kit from your local NAPA. Keep the gaskets you take off the carb in order, as you will see several gaskets in the kit that you won't use, and each has some very slight differences. Really the only thing that I see go bad on these (unless you leave it sit and the gas goes sweet) is that diaphragm, and replacing it should be all you have to do. The diaphragm will be under a plate that has a round bulge on it. But I like to clean all the passages with the carb cleaner real good.

Second, if it has 2 fuel lines I see those stupid lines break inside the tank all the time. While the single line that feeds the bulb may be good and it will prime, the one that feeds the pump diaghram will be busted and you will see a lot of air bubbles in it, or it will be void of fuel altogether.

Third, if the bulb has a hard time recovering you either have a collapsed of clogged fuel line, or a clogged carburetor port that is creating a vacuum on the line prohibiting fuel feed.

Another Question

What renters insurance do y'all suggest?

I use Nationwide for all my homeowners, automotive, and landlord insurance. Generally you get discounts if you choose to carry multiple policies with the same company. It is worth asking your agent about.

The lawnmower is a: Scotts 6.5HP(briggs and Straton) I/C Intek Edge OHV Mod:22966X8A

first thing that happened the prime bubble started running fuel out the little relief hole when i first filled it up. So i raised the front of the lawnmower up for awhile. Then i came back to mess with it and the bulb no longer leaked. So i proceeded to start the mower. Thus it rain for about ~3 seconds on primed fuel.

I was going to tear into it tonight but i work a lil over 12 hours today and it was dark outside already and i ran to wally world to get some carb cleaner and other essentials.

The carb does have a bowl underneath it. i believe it only has one fuel line. The plan is to tear into it tomorrow and see whats going on.

9 times out of 10 it just the shit that settles in the bowl starts to clog the pick-up. Second would be that old gas turned to varnish and is gumming everything up. Always start with the simple stuff first.

I have all my vehicles and homeowners insurance through Farmers. The more things I insure, the better the deal.

There is no bowl on this mower. 9 times out of 10 if the carb has a primer bulb it is a direct feed carb with no storage device like a fuel bowl, otherwise it wouldn't need a primer bulb as fuel is already in the carburetor .

And to the OP, sounds like the diaphragm is screwed. Just get a kit for it and be done with it. The mower doesn't matter, what matters is the carburetor. The Scotts with the 5.6 hp briggs may have 2 or 3 different carbs. Some may be CA emissions, and some federal, etc.

In No Way am I arguing with a certified mechanic, I am just giving my thoughts.

The Post Office just called and said my Aura is there, to bad its probably the wrong size.

any clue what the hell this is?

Looks like a Porsche of some sort.

what movie/show is it from?

True Blood

just got the Mercury service manual in; insane amounts of detail, truly one of the best tech manuals I have read

Seems to have a 'vette rump, Lotus targa top, Ford Daytona nose, and maybe Porsche like doors.

True Blood

It is an SV9 Competizione

This one mates the current Corvette C6’s underpinnings and 6.2-litre V8 engine, apparently tuned up to 444bhp and 424lb ft, with styling that’s clearly inspired by the current crop of Italian exotica. While the proportions silhouette remain Corvette, the rear end is cut and pasted from an Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione (hence the SV 9’s name) while the front end bears more than a passing resemblance to the Ferrari 612 Scaglietti.

http://www.evo.co.uk/news/evonews/238990/sv_9_competizione_supercar.html

Production will be limited to 1,000 units and prices start at $99,995.

Seth wins, but I get partial points for seeing the vette parts.

yeah that fat Vette ass is unmistakable

OH NOES!!!

Here it is FWIW:

Pretty car, but admittedly I don't like the ass end. It just looks unfinished.
