It's bad for any engine to set that's uses E10,  it can gum up an engine.

  But, you can't ban a "ghost".

You ever wonder how many on a forum may have multiple accounts?   I was on a forum years ago where this guy had at least two. I noticed he would make the same mistakes in grammar and "sounded" the same the way he wrote his post. His "friend" only showed up to back him up on claims and disagreements between him and other members. He was confronted about using more than one account on the board... must have been true, he left the board.

I've been running on about E40 to E50 for many years... guess my warranty is shot!?

Shouldn't the word "balls" in this thread be wrote as "B**ls" because it is a slang word for a male's genitalia. The same as "p***Y is slang for a woman's genitalia?   Because..."This is a family forum."?

The worth of anything.. Is only what someone is willing to pay... Not a penny less... or penny more!

She does too!!!   She owns both "Tinker" and "Gray".. our pussy cats!!   You got'a dirty mind. :down:

  P****Y!!!!   We can figure it out. This is a family forum.

Just remember...   She owns half the money...   And all the P***Y! :yum: :rofl:

Guess the 4X4s will have a traffic jam going up the Cherohala Skyway? We already had a cap on Big Frog... Guess I stay by the fire... and with two great bottles of Rum... I don't think I'll get cold!

  Yeah.. I knew what you were says... "...in my experience". Everyone is different... even from Tennessee! :pleased:   If you're into making knives, guess you've already has a gas torch for brazing and soldering?   Not to many use oxy-acetylene welding anymore, but it is better than electric hand welding when the part is under vibration and oscillating conditions. Electric weld sets up stress at the weld joint, gas welding doesn't.

Nothing is 100%.   I do know welders that have blue eyes. Most with light-colored eyes will have a problem seeing "detail" when they weld. Many new welders tell me they see the light but can't see the amount of weld or the true location of travel. And in some cases changing the lens shade doesn't seem to help. But, I do know welders that has the same problem with brown eyes!   A good test is look at the Sun with a #10 welding lens. If you can see the rim of the Sun in a sharp line without it bothering your eyes, welding shouldn't be a problem. If you see the detail but the light seems to be to bright, switch to a #11.   Amperage used on a welding machine also controls the amount of light given off by the arc. The higher.. the brighter.   When I TIG weld below 50 amps, I will switch to a #9... my normal lens is the #10. On heavy metal where it calls for more amperage, I'll use a #11.   If your eyes seem to be dry and tired after welding 2 or 3 hours.. you lens shade maybe to light? Check to make sure you have NO LIGHT LEAKS around the lens in your hood! If you're working in a location where you will get a reflection from behind you when you are welding... you may be getting a "stray bullet" that will burn your eyes! The worst "flash burn" to my eyes happened this way! I was TIG welding inside a stainless tank, it was heavy metal and the amps were set high. The reflection coming in the rear of my hood gave me a hell of a burn to both eyes! If you have this problem... use a "Arab-Cloth" on your hood! This is a cloth(rag) tapped to your hood to cover the back of your head... if you see ANY reflection from the rear... you best cover your back!!

  "Sensitivity to light is the inability to tolerate light, medically known as photophobia. In someone who is light sensitive, any type of light source (sunlight, fluorescent light, incandescent light) can cause discomfort. Photophobia typically causes a need to squint or close the eyes, and headache, nausea, or other symptoms may be associated with photophobia. People with light-colored eyes are more likely to have sensitivity to bright light than those with darker-pigmented eyes. Sensitivity to light is caused by a number of conditions that affect the eye as well as conditions that affect the entire body."

Had a friend who wanted to try his hand at counterfeiting money... But his first try didn't turn out to great.   He printed notes... but he printed an "18" in the corners and not 20.   I'll never be able to pass the notes like this, he said...   I told him to try and get change for it at the old country store...  Tennessee hill people won't know the difference!   He came out of the store with a sad look... I ask if he got change... he said "no", the guy asked me if I wanted   two "nines" or three "sixes"!

Now a little trivia...   If you are around a location that does welding and has several welders who do it on a regular basis...   most will have one thing in common... besides being poor and dirty! :stunned:   It's their eyes... better than 90% will have dark eyes(brown)!   It's been said that dark eyes can adjust to the arc better and is less effected by strong light.   If you do welding for a living and have light colored eyes... you are a rare breed! :up:

It's a good idea to find a friend to start you off learning welding. This will save time trying to learn on your own... doing it the wrong way won't give you the best results. Also check the price on a bottle of gas if you do go with a MIG machine, They come in several sizes and you can rent them or buy a lifetime lease. I have a lifetime lease on a large Argon bottle. I haven't checked but it maybe around $175 now? I paid $50 the last time I had my bottle filled(swapped). For mild steel the common gas is 75/25 also called C-25. It is 75% argon and 25% carbon dioxide. Most will run .035" wire.   I've run most brands of welding machines and Miller seems to be about the best I've used. If you buy a Mig welder... buy new! Mig can be temperamental and require a little more attention than other type welding machines. MIG has got two things going for it... it's the easiest to learn and it is the fastest hand-held welding. That is the reason most manufacturing companies use this method.   How fast is it.   I retired in July, my last job was maintenance/welder. Maintenance Department did all the welding in the plant, ever floor production. We used Miller welding machines, running .035" ER70S-6 solid wire, the gas was 95-5. Wire speed was about a foot per second. Amps was run at 240... volts near 35... ER70S-6 wire is only rated at a max of 150 amps! Sometimes! We made 1/4 fillet welds, 2" long in 4 seconds... and 64 welds per unit in 9 minutes. On average we would weld 12-14 units a shift... which is about 150 feet of weld per shift. This is called "turn & burn"!!

seez2... "The "knowing" is just as important as the "doin'"   That's the reason for my statement... "Metal fabrication and welding to be learned to any high degree needs both "book learning" and "hands-on experience".   But It's better to know the unknowns than to cover them up!   If you can learn basic "stick welding" then learning MIG or TIG becomes easier. In most welding schools they may teach oxygen acetylene welding... then stick welding... then MIG welding... then TIG welding.   Yes, if you have the money, MIG welding is the easiest to learn for a "home welder" for basic work using regular steel. But a regular AC/DC "buzz Box" is cheaper and more versatile than a MIG rig.

Metal working is a "combination" of many different crafts.   And I do know several welders after 20 years who still can't weld! Many might think metal fabrication is easy, and it comes easy for some and hard for others. We all know people who are great shots with a firearm, and also many that are not after many years!   One of the biggest problems people have is knowing the difference between metals and each has different characteristics the way they are worked and welded. Like most everything else... it's easy if you know how! But what works for regular mild steel... won't work for titanium. And many metals come in several different grades in the same base metal and fabricate different.   Metal fabrication and welding to be learned to any high degree needs both "book learning" and "hands-on experience".

Major Ashley-Pitt: "In our experience, Americans are uncouth misfits who should be run out of their own barbaric country." Matthew Quigley: "Well, Lieutenant..." Major Ashley-Pitt: "Major." Matthew Quigley: "Major. We already run the misfits outta our country. We sent em back to England."   ...Guess we missed one!?

Well now, you gott'a know how to play the game!   You want to play stocks? The best way is through a Transitional IRA, or Roth IRA.   You don't pay tax until you withdraw money from the account and then at a "income" level... after 59 1/2 you won't pay an early 10 percent tax penalty.   If you need some money, you borrow from the account... and pay yourself back.

One more "little" thing to watch for...   An arc from a welder will give you a "flash burn" to your eyes in a second or two at close range!   You won't notice it for the fist hour or two...   Then your eyes will seem to be real dry....   Then the burning starts....   It seems as if someone has thrown ground-up glass in your eyes...   If you're lucky, this will only last 5 to 10 hours...   But.. if you're not lucky... you won't be able to see....   Why? Your eyes will be swollen shut...   The good news is, if it goes this far...   You maybe able to see again... in three or four days!

Welding is a craft you can go from basic to advanced. Sounds to me you want just the basic? As for learning the basics without going to class, you need to find someone who will teach you the basic welding as well as the safety. And you need to be SAFE! Sounds like you are thinking about buying you own equipment? For "basic" I would start with an AC/DC "stick" welder. Yes.. MIG(wire welder) is the easiest to learn, but it comes at a higher price. Unit cost, wire, and gas is higher than coated welding rods. If you will be welding just ever now and again... The AC/DC welder is the way to go! You will see welding machines sold cheap and this type is AC only... this isn't the machine. Make sure it's a AC/DC machine! A very good choice for a home welder is the Miller Thunderbolt AC/DC machine... my choice for the money! This machine will weld all metals. But why do you need a machine with BOTH AC and DC? Your basic rods will burn using AC only... but most rods burn best using DC Reverse Polarity(ground negitive). One other thing and many novice don't know this??? You can TIG weld using DC current! And weld 90% of all metals using this method! (TIG welding aluminum you need to use AC/with high frequency) Tig welding with the Miller Thunderbolt AC/DC machine requires a TIG torch(dry rig) and a bottle of argon gas. One small note... COVER ALL SKIN!! You will see "cowboys" on TV welding without their arms covered... this is pure BS!! I'm sure someone might disagree with my suggestions... But, I'm NOT a "cowboy" welder! :up:

With this computer and my phone I can "price match" just about any item in a very short time. What you need to do if possible is to check and be able to receive it before you really need the item.   One thing to remember... If you order any item, you compare the total price! Buy in state and you pay sales tax. buy online in your state and you may have to pay both tax and shipping.   Talking to managers, writing letters, would be a waste of time with large companies... my time is money. I don't sweat the small stuff!

CHICAGO -- In its first comments since last week's massacre at a Connecticut elementary school, the National Rifle Association on Friday called for "armed security" at every school in the nation. At a press conference in Washington that was repeatedly interrupted by hecklers, Wayne LaPierre, the group's executive vice president, said the NRA would make its training programs available free of charge to help boost school safety. "The only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun," he said. He also at least partly blamed "violent videogames" and "blood-soaked films" for creating an atmosphere where such tragedies occur, accusing the national media of acting as "silent enablers or complicit co-conspirators."

REALLY!!!!   Would it surprise you to know that a zoo in China has inbred cats to get black cubs? Scientist are thinking this may be the reason for animals to be melanistic. The black whitetail deer that are found in Texas are believed to be for the same reason.   The only fact in science... is what is thought to be fact is always changing!   How about twin black cubs...   http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2173186/Twin-panther-cubs-instant-hit-public-zoo-debut.html   "The term 'black panther' can be confusing, with scientists agreeing it does not refer to a specific sub-species of big cat. Most generally, the term refers to any type of big cat with a black coat - though the only scientifically recognised definitions are a black leopard and a black jaguar." ...Some cougars have been know to be melanistic... but it's not fact until documented by experts.
