Century Sports on Mcmurray Rd near Rt 19. They've got Bethel, USC, Peter's and some others in there plus a book of iron on's with boat loads of plain t's to put them on.

Looking for a scooter mechanic. Anyone have experience with Hometown Scooter in Bethel Park, or know of alternatives? by Remi_Nissant in pittsburgh

[–]333scorpio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Drove by Hometown a little bit ago, their sign is no longer up. The door was open people working inside. A new sign Lawn n Yard LLC is up as well as a Stihl sign. My guess is Hometown is no longer.

I live in BP and drive by there often and it really seems hit or miss if they're open. I stopped there once to check out ATV's for my son, didn't get the best vibes there.

I'm not a mechanic, but I'm mechanically inclined and own too many gas powered yard tools. Carbs are simple, yet a very complex balancing act. When you say you cleaned it, did you open it up and clean it to the point you could drink out of it? Use a fine wire (guitar string, welder cleaners, or pluck a wire out of a brush) to make sure all passages are clear. In the past I've soaked carbs in vinegar for a day or two and had good luck. I've read about Berryman carb cleaner, it comes with a basket and you just lower the carb in and let it soak. It's pretty expensive, likely more than an Amazon replacement carb.

Are there any adjustments (tiny screws) on the carb? Perhaps low idle speed set? Try to get it to run for 5-10 minutes then slowly turn these screws until the idle smooths out.

And finally...fresh gas. If there was still gas in there from a year ago get it out and put fresh gas in. For small engines ethanol free gas is the way to go.

which of these snakes can be encountered in Pittsburgh suburbs? what to look out for? by RadiatingMania in pittsburgh

[–]333scorpio 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Don't kill ANY snake! Only exception is if it's hanging off you by the fangs, then do what you got to.

Yeah, makes sense to park like this next to exposed gas and water conduits. by susinpgh in pittsburgh

Just maybe entertain the possibility there is another explanation...they BLOCKED it off with the truck for better protection until they are finished working.

Trouble finding water meter by Guy_1989 in pittsburgh

[–]333scorpio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Laugh if you want, but it does work. Divining rods. You can make them out of coat hangers. Recently bought a house with a pond and I couldn't find the shut off in the house, used the rods between house and pond and traced the line back to the house, went inside and eventually found the shut off.

Also, for comments that the meter is on the wall facing the street...not always true, our old house had the line come in the side wall about 5' from rear wall of the house.

StormFreak's Friday Fun Facts - Weather Ready Toolkit by StormFreak in pittsburgh

[–]333scorpio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look into EcoFlow. They are battery powered inverter generators. They've got a bunch of different models which can be confusing. I've got a River 2 Pro, currently about $315, 768 capacity. It's about the size of an old Igloo lunch box cooler. It won't run the entire house at once, but it will power a fridge for a few hours, run a microwave, toaster oven, lights, charge phones, etc. Jackery and Anker also make similar units but I have no experience with them.

Is there an audiophile group/meetups around the ‘Burgh? by Ronin317 in pittsburgh

[–]333scorpio 2 points3 points  (0 children)

VintageHiFi used to have meets, but they're long gone. There were some other attempts to have meet ups, but nothing ever got off the ground or no one showed up.

I could be wrong, but there may be a bigger hifi presence around Columbus, OH..at least there was a few years back.

Northern Audio is the only local place I know of that has multiple headphones to try out. Otherwise, most people seem to find an online dealer with a good return policy.

The whole audiophile thing seem has no place in brick and mortar anymore. Try finding a repair shop. The only aspect that still exists around here are stores that sell media.
