A few years ago, I bought a Yamaha Vino scooter. It was a 2004 model, and I paid $700 for it. I live about 10 minutes from work, and only have to drive on surface streets (no highway). I'm in Ohio, and can ride the scooter from about April to October, and use it to ride to work and back every...

As I recall, Esperanto was supposed to be a "universal" language so that people could speak to one another and understand one another worldwide. I've been told it is fairly easy to learn, as some of the stumbling blocks (like irregular verbs) are not used. When I was in college, many of the...

I saw him at Blossom Music Center (close to Akron, OH), which is an outdoor amphitheater, and Karla DeVito was there with him. I don't know if Ellen Foley (who was the female voice on "Paradise by the Dashboard Lights) ever toured with him, but when I saw him it was with Karla DeVito. I can't...

My family and I drove a bit of RT 66 on our trip out West a couple of years ago. We drove it because my daughter had recently read "The Grapes of Wrath" and wanted to retrace the path the Joads had taken. We didn't stay on it very long. As I recall, the stretch we were on had a speed limit of 35...

That's funny! I bought an old truck about 10 or 12 years ago that had window cranks. I took my youngest daughter out in it shortly after I got it. She asked if she could roll down the window and I told her yes. Apparently, she had never been in a car without power windows. She said "how do I do...

The P/N is stamped on the harness. Find the P/N on the harness and look a supplier up online.

More than likely the engine, prop, and fuel tank were installed under STC's. There should be log book entries indicating those installations, and hopefully the current owner has the paperwork for the STC's.

There are several "no-AD" propellers for your aircraft.

What is your aircraft/engine?

If you are into it, there are lots of Civil War sites around the city of Nashville - Stones River (Murfreesboro) is very much worth a look, as is Franklin. Franklin does not have a Battlefield Park like Stones River, but there are several sites in and around the town (Carter House, for example)...

Thank you for all your advice. I'm going to look into these suggestions. You all have been tremendously helpful!

Bryan - I take it that's the software you use? BTW, your videos are immensely popular here at my workplace.

I've been given a task to come up with equipment and software to make training videos. The videos would be segmented in to short segments of perhaps 5-10 minutes each, and be incorporated into a Zoom meeting. The training is assembly/disassembly - Basically what we are envisioning is we go thru...

Or around the air charge valve. A little "leak check" (soapy water) would tell that tale.

The oil may or may not be an external leak. It could just be bleeding off thru the prop circuit and going right back to the sump, and you'd never see anything.

I suspect you have a leaking unfeathering valve. Don't know how the 320 is set up. Sometimes the valve is a component of the governor, and other times it's an external valve. Anyway, the accumulator has an air charge, and this air gets compressed by the oil from the governor. When the prop...

How about a bottle jack? Wrap a web strap around each blade, put the bottle jack on the end of the crankshaft and pump away.

The NFL has been alienating me (and I believe others) for the last few years. I've been backing away for some time, and the shenanigans this year have pushed me over the edge. I won't waste a single moment of my life on NFL (or MLB, for that matter) this year, and may end up walking away forever.

Ron: There is a statue (and a "memorial") to Captain James T. Kirk in Riverside Iowa. It's his future birthplace!

This big question I have is "does Mxsmanic like it?"
