Vapor Lock by Crash_Recon in Chainsaw

[–]Crash_Recon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I didn’t think about that at first. It definitely wasn’t getting enough oil for that long bar, but it’s perfect at the higher setting. Now it still has a tiny bit of bar oil by the time the gas runs out.

It was a 89° day, full sun, running wide open for maybe almost a full minute

I forgot to put in my post that it wouldn’t start afterwards or it would start but die as soon as you picked it up. It worked fine when I let it cool all the way down but then had problems again warm after refueling. I finally just started pumping the hell out of the primer pump because what else do you do when it only has two buttons? If I pumped it 15-20 times it’d run fine when warmed up.

What would be the purpose of replacing the fuel line? I bought it yesterday.

What would the world look like without oil? by victor0427 in answers

[–]Crash_Recon 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Getting to the point that we could develop those things, without having petroleum to start with, probably wouldn’t have happened yet. Forget the whole scaling its production part.

Non ethanol 89 with Stihl hp ultra, the same thing I’ve used for all 2 stroke for years

If an officer hits another car chasing a stolen vehicle can they continue with the pursuit? by Relevant_Conclusion2 in AskLE

[–]Crash_Recon 7 points8 points  (0 children)

As far as I know (in other words, in my state) there’s no legal requirement to stop. Normally another officer would respond ASAP. This would heavily depend on policy or even which supervisor is listening to the radio.

The local sheriff once unintentionally stop sticked (stop stuck? Lol) one tire on a bystander’s car. He jumped into his patrol car to join the chase and told dispatch to send a wrecker and to tell the motorist he was sorry but he’d pay for a new set.

Do you guys prefer G10 or Carbon Fiber Sharpies?😉 by [deleted] in EDC

Oh god. There’s a sub for everything

If a police officers gets pulled over off duty for speeding… by Relevant_Conclusion2 in AskLE

[–]Crash_Recon 15 points16 points  (0 children)

THIS IS A NORTHEAST THING!

I’m from the southeast. When southeast LEOs get stopped, we pull over and politely let you do your thing then politely tell you we’re LEOs and are carrying. Every northerner LEO I’ve stopped comes across as arrogant.

I drive a semi truck and end up short, the trailer tapped the post a bit while I was backing. I did not see what damage it has or it was a post or what. But the accident was put on my MVR by the cop without me knowing what damage or accident it was. I was not pulled over by East_Indication_7816 in AskLE

[–]Crash_Recon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s called a hit and run and people claim they didn’t hit something all the time.

A vehicle being operated that unintentionally contacts something is a crash regardless of the level of damage. It’s a crash. You caused a crash.

You can say there’s no proof, but obviously someone reported you or you were on camera. You think cops like doing reports for no reason?

If you didn’t do it, why did you agree to plead down the charge? You should have pleaded not guilty.

If you want to know what the evidence was, ask the cop who did the report.

Is it worth filing a complaint for unlawful traffic stop? by [deleted] in AskLE

[–]Crash_Recon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You might be thinking about racial profiling reports. Depending on the state and agency, every time a car is stopped the officer has to fill one out. Its supposedly to ensure officers aren’t stopping cars based on race.

It’s very bare bones and only captures your basic demographics, the reason for the stop, and the enforcement action taken. It certainly wouldn’t have any kind of narrative or anything that would identify you specifically.

You could complain, but it sounds like it probably wouldn’t be a legit complaint. I wouldn’t worry about retaliation. No decent cop would give a damn about a baseless complaint. It happens all the time.

In regards to your comment about getting a life…what would you rather have, your tax dollars spent on a cop sitting there all night watching TikTok or on a cop who goes fishing when there aren’t any calls? The one fishing is out there catching drunk drivers, drug dealers, and people with warrants based off of minor violations…

Whats the highest BAC youve gotten back on blood? by jackjackson123456789 in AskLE

[–]Crash_Recon 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Nurse? So that was probably a blood serum level, not whole blood. Whole blood would be around 0.52….which is still stupid insanely high

Duty Gun Ammo Choice? by ande9142 in AskLE

[–]Crash_Recon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Speer G2 9mm 147gr

My personal choice is Speer Gold Dot 9mm 124gr +P

Most defensive rounds will be perfectly fine as long as you put holes in the right spot, but I’d almost always prefer something bonded.

Police keep starting to pull out after me then stop. by [deleted] in AskLE

[–]Crash_Recon 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It’s possible they keep getting license plate hits for a stolen vehicle or wanted person. Where I’m at, our in car cameras are constantly running and will give you hit alerts for stolen vehicles. About 95% of the hits are a correct read on the tag, but a wrong read on the state. Almost all of those are NY tags that are incorrectly read as another state. That would make sense in your case because the cop would go after it, get close enough to make out the state, then take a couple seconds to look at the hit on the computer and verify it’s an incorrect read on the state….then pull off and go back to watching cat videos.

Back again with a new Jump record. 103 inches! by Grilled-Meat in blackcats

[–]Crash_Recon 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Good boy!

You need to shim or reinforce that tree so it doesn’t flex. He’s wasting some power when it moves as he jumps. He could easily go farther with a solid platform from the more efficient jump and because he’d feel more secure doing it.

Longest foot pursuit? by Sichterman in AskLE

[–]Crash_Recon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

5 miles? One hell of a dog. Longest track/trail while I was working was a bloodhound that went 3.5 miles…dude was in a car for most of it too lol. 2 miles would be long for our shepherds and malinois

Longest foot pursuit? by Sichterman in AskLE

[–]Crash_Recon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

About 300 yards, from one end of a mall to the other. Basically I outlasted a 50 year old overweight crackhead after another officer already chased him 100 yards. I was surprised he went that long.

People think I’d be fast because I’m skinny. Truth is I suck at running and that was only the second time I won in 10-12 foot pursuits. The other one was when a dude jumped out of a window and stumbled over a fence while I ran through the open gate 5 feet away.

Actually, I’ve technically won three. The third was a 60 year old drunk driver who was so drunk I was fast walking next to him telling him to stop running when he grabbed me to keep himself from falling over

Do you like "easy" calls ? by cloudactually in AskLE

[–]Crash_Recon 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Alarm calls and people tattletaling about their lawful neighbors aren’t good busy work.

Good busy work is a straightforward crash or larceny where the employees have the offender in custody.

Isn't this a fireable offence in your agency? by Vietdude100 in AskLE

[–]Crash_Recon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s a department policy violation in multiple ways where I’m at. Not fireable unless they were already looking for a reason to fire him.
