Howdy! This is the boiler-plate [BOTTOM TEXT] that populates the end of my video descriptions. Tom’s Mechanical Videography is a spin-off hobby UA-cam channel I created to house videos related to mechanical systems and DIY stuff. I’m a conservationist/biologist in my professional life but I’ve long had a passion for up-cycling, which is a fancy way of saying I’m cheap and like fixing broken stuff that I get for free. The primary purpose of this channel is a repository for informational videos I make related to solving niche and frustrating problems I encounter. That extends to vehicle and small engine repair videos. The secondary purpose of this channel, and the bulk of its content, is to motivate me to regularly think about and work on the garbage that I accumulate throughout my day to day life. By imposing a demand for [C O N T E N T] and an upload schedule on myself, it helps me actually work on all this trash in my yard. I don’t ever intend for this channel to make money or be successful, nor do I really want it to. I’m making videos as efficiently as I can with a phone camera and 10yo editing software in the limited time I have, which is my excuse as to why they all suck so hard. I have zero interest in making a career out of this or taking anyone’s money (other than UA-cam’s if they’ll pay me).
If for some strange reason you enjoy what I do, please consider SMASHING THAT MA’FUGEN [SUBSCRIBE] button. I don’t plan to quit anytime soon. Also, constructive criticism about how I can suck less is welcome but please keep in mind that I am a smooth-brained inbred hick and I probably won’t listen anyway.

    Exactly the issue I was having... Tried insulating the fuel line & it still happened in the spring. Had to bleed the Schrader valve to get goin one time after figuring out the e15 gas boils at underhood temperatures causing the vapor lock. Took the cowl seals out & it starts & restarts every time even on 100°F days! Thanks!

    The air gap on the husky coils is supposed to be 0.3 mm but the defacto standard of 0.010 inch also works. Those amazon coils probably would have worked if you didn't set the gap so huge. Your hot start issues may have been fixed by re-gapping the original coil to factory spec (0.3 mm) as well - I've been finding many reports of closing the "huge" factory gap on the 435 to fix an apparently common hot start issue on them.

    Stop jumpstarting batteries. Open them up, measure the cells, and connect a cheap lithium ion charger to the bank that is out of balance. Connecting a perfectly good battery to it doesn’t just “equalize,” it basically shorts them both out potentially (if not: likely) damaging both. There’s a reason charging is done at a lower current.

    If yours are like mine, you have one cell that is registering as dead. It's not dead, it has popped the safety relief valve internally in that one cell. You can reset that valve but it can be dangerous. That was the case with my chinese knockoff packs as well as my porter cable originals. You have to completely disassemble the packs to fix it. Make sure you have an ABC fire extinguisher near by and you may wish to do this outside as well. The case of the cell is metal under the coating, and that is negative. The valve is under the postive post, and you will need a very small tool like a watch flat screw driver to get under the positive terminal to depress the valve. But once you do this, that cell will now charge again. Then you can reassemble that pack. This happens when you over work the battery pack. The weakest cell will get hot and blow the valve.

    I don't know if i believe the boiling gas thing because, the fuel rail is very low volume, and it would take like 370 degrees for the fuel rail to be full of just gasoline vapor, even if its just half full, there should be liquid gasoline at the bottom and vapor gasoline at the top. But even still, the gasoline if it is in vapor, it would be under high pressure, so as soon as the fuel injectors open, the pressure and vapor would be gone, because viscosity of gaseous fluids is like a hundred times lower than liquid fluids, so if there is gasoline vapor in the fuel rail, it would be evacuated near instantly. If the engine is failing to start, it might be due to something else. Maybe the compression is shit from the engine running too hot, cooking all the oil, then losing lubrication and wearing the engine out. Then you got garbage starting with worn engine.

      @patrickdix772 2 місяці тому

      An 8 piece set for $30, which is $3.75 per replacement nozzle. New gas cans don't come with the old style nozzles anymore in the USA, since the laws changed to force new cans to have automatic closure systems, limited venting of fumes, and child proofing back in 2009. Those systems are prone to causing issues like spills when pouring, being difficult to impossible to pour alone (needs 3 hands), failing and allowing gas to spill anyway, failing after a short time or limited number of uses, exc.
