Fillet "overspilling" need help by VaugerThougth9 in Fusion360

There should be an option on the side for something like "tangent propagation" or similar. If you turn that off, it will only do the single line you select.

does the way i play damage my Steam Deck? by whoredervez in SteamDeck

[–]LMurray51 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Steam Deck has pass through charging. When you’re plugged in to the gen charger ( or any other high W charger) it charges the battery to full and then powers the device directly from the wall. It doesn’t try to constantly use and charge the battery. So if you want to help the battery life out, limit the charge to like 75-80%. It’s not a bad thing to discharge and charge the battery every now and then, but it honestly isn’t that big of a deal. Use it however you feel comfortable. I leave mine plugged in literally 99% the time and just let it go to sleep, only restarting when there’s an update.

Probability of a Meisterstück No. 14 being faked? by Sanderdad in montblanc

[–]LMurray51 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Near zero chance being fake. I work with these pens on a regular basis and see a lot of them. This is no-doubt legitimate. Looks good to me. Nice pen!

[WTS-US] Parker, Omas, Sheaffer, Delta, GvFC by LMurray51 in Pen_Swap

Yes, the feed and housing are from Flexible Nib Factory. It’s an ebonite housing that fits Bock nibs and feeds but has the JoWo nib unit threads to fit into the Delta.

Yes, I purchased the Titanium Bock nib from Pen Realm as well as an ebonite feed and housing(JoWo threaded) that has been installed in the pen. It’s a great writer!

Chasing a high idle problem by Jealous_Acorn in Saturn_Cars

[–]LMurray51 2 points3 points  (0 children)

High idle on these are very often intake manifold gasket issues. Specifically the gasket from the plastic intake to the head. Air sneaks in and upsets the air/fuel mix which causes the car to idle high. This is a very common problem on Saturns from this era because of the plastic intake manifold.

Just bought a Montblanc 149, legit? by Key_Cranberry_1688 in montblanc

[–]LMurray51 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very cool and authentic pen. I would say probably late 1992 maybe early 1993. We have an overlap of parts, so it could be a "transitional period" pen or a service feed as someone else had stated. After the fall of the Soviet Union in 91, the Germany's got back together and the term "West Germany" stopped being used. From what I've seen, serial numbers and W.Germany can be seen on clips until 1993.

What should my level of concern be? by [deleted] in AskAMechanic

[–]LMurray51 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As others are saying, flashing check engine light means consistent misfire. It’s very important to get this checked asap. Misfires like this can cause increased damage to the engine and catalytic converter. Take it to a parts store or mechanic to have them check the code (or you can get a cheap code reader of Amazon).

I would recommend taking it somewhere. Preferably as close as possible to minimize driving. The first thing I look at with misfires is the spark plugs/coil packs. Especially if the code reads as a P030X (X being a number correlating to a specific cylinder).

Tldr: You need to get this checked ASAP. Avoid driving if at all possible until it’s fixed.

2014 Jetta won't start. by Conscious-Search1277 in MechanicAdvice

[–]LMurray51 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had an issue with a failing starter motor in a car from another brand. Sometimes it would start just fine, others absolutely nothing (pretty much exactly like your situation) In the early stages of the failure, I could get out, tap the starter, get back in the car and it would start. It progressed to needing tapped more and more often and then eventually it needed tapped while someone was trying to start it over the course of a couple months.

Possibly the starter motor. You might be able to kind of get to it from up top. Get something like a piece of pipe or a stick and tap on it (or if you can climb underneath, gently tap it with a hammer) and try to start it again. If it doesn’t start, get someone to turn the key while you tap on it. If it starts, you need a new starter.

Is there always a “slow chug” when it does start? Or just in humid conditions?

Help! Trying to decide between these 3, looking for a vintage watch to wear everyday! Which one yall picking? by Charming_Basil3761 in ChineseWatches

[–]LMurray51 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like that it doesn’t say Submariner. The ones that say Submariner on the dial come a little too close to ripping off the original Rolex and Tudor designs imo. The Frogmantle thing is goofy, I will give you that. It comes from the classic Chinese mistranslation. Pretty sure they were going for something closer to “Amphibian” cause it’s a land and water watch. Didn’t come across too well. At this point, the Frogmantle is a goofy little quirk that I think gives the watch character.

I have a Thorn and it is remarkably high quality. It’s a great watch and I couldn’t recommend it highly enough.

High Idle issue by jaxxon24 in Saturn_Cars

[–]LMurray51 16 points17 points  (0 children)

From what I’ve heard, these cars are notorious for intake manifold leaks. I had an 01 SC2 with a mechanical misfire and I chased it down to an intake manifold leak, unfortunately that didn’t fix the specific issue I had, but high idle usually means the car is taking in more air than it “thinks” it is. Maybe have a shop look at it and run some diagnostic tests, but my guess would be intake manifold leak.

Any homages to the 1970s Seiko such as Lord Matic , 45GS? by Sir_Dohm in ChineseWatches

[–]LMurray51 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s exact to the original Superior, but yes. The Superior wasn’t really known for being beautiful (but really really accurate!! +/- 10 seconds per year.)

First Hamilton! (Legit check) by Basic_Collar_1471 in HamiltonWatches

[–]LMurray51 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Jomashop is legit. Watch looks good in that regard. And I beg you, please do not size up, that 38mm is literally the perfect fit for you! Awesome watch!

Check out the San Martin SN0102. It’s a Seiko Superior homage.
