peejman

I've got a Tech Sights peep sight on mine, and I like it. I prefer peep sights anyway. I'd be more likely to use a forward mounted scout scope rather than the ones that mount to the dust cover, which is pretty flimsy. I'd definitely want/need some practice before hunting at 200 with the peep sights though.

I think any of those would work fine for most needs. Don't know if you're as stingy with garage floor space as I am, but the Ryobi looks to have a really big footprint for a "small" pressure washer.

I've got a bunch of clover in my yard and it comes back every year. Letting it go until the blooms turn brown -ish before mowing should help it spread, but it should come back on its own.

I have a small Karcher electric pressure washer. I've had it at least 15 years and it still works fine. It's clearly light duty and isn't the fastest thing in the world, but it's small, cheap, and it works fine on decks, sidewalks, smokers, trailers, and the kids have fun drawing pictures on the driveway. If you've got 10k sqft of deck or intend to do something silly like pressure wash your entire driveway, you might want something bigger. It works for my needs.

Make some chicken pot pie with the veggies.

Cool. I'll have to add those to the list. http://www.bernardcornwell.net/about-the-sharpe-books/

A Crosley Farm-O-Road. Cool. (The tag on the front made it easy). http://www.fourwheeler.com/features/1503-1950-crosley-farm-o-road-backward-glances/

I assume it comes with a BCG and they check the headspace with go/NoGo gauges when they test fire it.

Southern cooking 101. Take something with potential to be good for you and fry it with bacon grease and salt.

Dang it... what's with the emoji's? Anyway... have her check this out.... https://heyjackass.com/home/

Have her surf around this a bit.... https://heyjackass.com/home/

I have a Delton AR, it runs fine. I've not stretched its legs to confirm longer range accuracy, but it makes holes where I expect them to be.

I did the Legal Zoom thing and it worked for my purposes. My situation is fairly simple and I consider it mostly as a medium to convey my wishes. I don't expect there will be much squabbling over who inherits my hundreds. I got several copies notarized and stashed in a few locations. As I get older and situations change, I do expect to go the route Garufa suggests at some point down the road.

Exactly. It has little to do with guns and a lot to do with mail bombs.

Clean up that spare, make sure there's no old gas in it, and toss it on a shelf somewhere. Just having it guarantees you'll never need it....

Depends on which version you have, adjustable or not. The adjustable version has a spring and a washer under the screw head. It should be set 2.5 turns out to start with. The carb on the engine he's working with has this adjustment (17:43). He only shows the non-adjustable version briefly around 5:30. It appears to thread flush with the carb body. I'd presume it should be tightened snug. And yes, that extra screw probably isn't helping.

21:43. Getting it adjusted is an iterative process. Start with the idle and then get the high speed sorted. The carbs are really basic and don't respond well to sudden throttle changes. Bogging or stalling when just whacking it from idle to full throttle isn't unusual, especially if it isn't fully warmed up.

At about 5:30 is where he's showing the adjustable vs non-adjustable carbs. Both high speed and low speed adjustments. These adjustment are for the air/fuel mixture. 6:40 is where he's talking about the main jet. It's not adjustable and needs to be screwed all the way in. Make sure it's clean by spraying with aerosol carb cleaner and compressed air 12:14 isn't the main jet, that's the idle jet aka low speed aka slow jet. It controls the low rpm mixture. It's what he's adjusting at 17:43. A starting point is 2.5 turns out. Again, this is air/fuel mixture, not idle speed, which is what he tweaks at 19:35. The last thing he's adjusting is the governor, which controls the maximum engine speed. The dying at full throttle or when the blades are engaged tells me the governor isn't correct. The noise in your video sounds like the starter isn't engaging. Could be a bad solenoid.

This is what I was thinking. Did you define "clean"? Is there anything written to the effect of "full detailed strip and clean"?

You won't find vacuum leaks with a flashlight, you find them with aerosol carb/brake cleaner. Start the (cold) engine and squirt little blasts of carb cleaner at the various joints between the carb and the engine. Wait a few seconds after each squirt. If the idle surges, you have a vacuum leak. If it has a vacuum diaphragm, it has a slide too. The slide is behind the throttle butterfly and moves up/down based on engine vacuum to allow the appropriate amount of air to enter the engine. It keeps the engine from stalling with sudden throttle position changes. And yes, you need to snug up the main jet. Not too tight as you can break the tube it screws into. The standard starting point for mixture adjustment screws (aka air screw, pilot screw,... ) is 2.5 turns out from bottom. Screw it all the way in until it GENTLY bottoms out. Then back it out 2.5 complete revolutions. Tune from there. This is mixture adjustment, not idle speed adjustment, which is generally a screw that adjusts the closed position of the throttle butterfly.

You know her personality better than we do, but I generally agree that forcing it on her will just push her further away. Maybe a taser or pepper spray for her key chain?

I also suspect gunk in the carb or a vacuum leak. Does it have a vacuum operated diaphragm and slide?

Don't give in. Incorrect terminology is still wrong, even if it's "generally accepted", and that's not a good place to be.

We like to think "not bloody likely" but it would seem anything is possible. We live in a world where the squeaky wheel gets the grease no matter how stupid, pointless, or just plain wrong it is. I'd also say assault weapons are already functionally banned, and have been since 1934. The few that do exist in civilian hands are fairly strictly controlled.
