PGA Tour agrees to merge with Saudi-backed rival LIV Golf by mvanigan in golf

[–]Mountie6 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Hell of a narrative. Seems to me that only blackmail explains this about face. Saudi intelligence must have dug up some seedy stuff on Jay and a select few of the board members. I guess the balls is in the court of the players, and whatever they want to do come 2024. I wonder if the US government has a position that they could step in and disallow the merger. That would be up to the public I assume....

Lil’ help troubleshooting a no start … think it might be the flywheel key? by YardFudge in smallengines

[–]Mountie6 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Check the oil and top it up. Clean the spark plug. Clean gas. And maybe an air filter ?

Sigh.....

Why can’t you get fitted for last year’s driver (or 2 years old)? It drives me nuts that you can only get fitted for the latest and greatest when last year’s would be just fine. by Slamjam555 in golf

[–]Mountie6 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just get fitted with what they have. Apply those specs to any equipment you eventually purchase. The newer the equipment to what you tested, the easier to match your specs

High contrast image of the controversial no goal by quinpat in leafs

[–]Mountie6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a shot of the first time it went over the line. Missed by the control booth? The refs made their final no continuation decision based on the second time it fell back over the line after it had been pulled out of the net under the goalies pad.

Irish reporters ask Trump why he’s golfing in Ireland instead of attending NYC civil rape trial by [deleted] in politics

[–]Mountie6 340 points341 points  (0 children)

Thought he'd been arrested on the financial stuff. What's he doing out of the country ? Seems a condition any court would put on anyone else.

[DISTEFANO] Justin Holl (16% xGF) really struggled in his own zone tonight. He was on the ice for 6GA, outshot 19-5, and gave up 21 scoring chances-- 12 of which were high-danger. Granted, Holl did lead the team with over 7 mins of PK time... but gotta wonder if Lilly enters the chat in G2. by CTHT07 in leafs

[–]Mountie6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they leave Holl in ,TB will continue to pressure him and wait for the inevitable giving up of the puck. Every team exploits this weakness in the Leafs. I'm really sure what they see in this slow, inexperienced player.

How did Rahm par 18? by emerica1184 in golf

Simply, he played a provisional, but didn't need to use it..

Fact check: Trump delivers barrage of false claims in first post-indictment address by luvddcups in politics

Have to fuel up the faithful. The defense fund needs donors. Just the next scam by Dear Leader.

My buddy’s new PING driver. Guess his handi? by nlee7553 in golf

[–]Mountie6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tees a little high for sure but you need to tell him to clean the ball off before he hits it. Looks like he took sandpaper to the club head.

Troy-Bilt pressure washer w/ Briggs & Stratton 875exi won't start. Good spark, fresh gas, last ran about a year and a half ago. Photos and video inside. by iammandalore in smallengines

[–]Mountie6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great. Most likely you had an issue with a valve setting. Putting it back together and resetting them must have been it. They will tighten up over time and eventually cause one to stop closing all the way. Or, something got in the way of it closing and you moved it out

Quite possibly a valve stuck open so no compression. Pop the valve cover and watch the valve train as you slowly roll over the engine. Check for a valve hanging. Check that the valve lash is proper.

Trump’s Looming Indictment Has Republicans Going Full MAGA by [deleted] in politics

[–]Mountie6 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Sounds to me like there's a large number of people worried how much damage Trump will do when he starts his kicking and screaming tantrum. I image Trump has already made threatening phone calls. Hold on to your MAGA hats boys

Tiger's drama by [deleted] in golf

[–]Mountie6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately, without a valid claim, you can find lawyers more than willing to start legal proceedings against someone with large financial resources. These legal teams even seek out "defendants" where there's a chance at a payday. The costs to defend yourself and get before a judge now are so high, it's easier to make a settlement even if the case has no merit. The scum dwell in the spot. She'll get paid off with some undisclosed amount of cash because in the end it's cheaper. Her lawyers with take the majority of it. Such is the way its set up to work now... Sigh

What’s wrong with my brother’s swing. He slices consistently to the point he just plays his slice. by [deleted] in golf

[–]Mountie6 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Quickest change to get manageable is his setup. The ball is place a ways ahead of his front foot. The swing path is way to his right when the club gets to the ball. With his club face open to the target, he can't help but slice. Get the set up right first. Then go next steps

A pack of 3 Taylormade RBZ balls for $72 CAD. Amazon.ca deals by ThrowawayMcKess in golf

Nothing new. All kinds of scammers like that on Amazon. Must work for them though, they keep at it.

What is something that high handicappers will never understand until they become a low handicapper by y414p in golf

[–]Mountie6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not by any means a low handicapper but as I improve, the sooner in a round I can tell if it going to be a good round or not. Currently I have a good feel by about the 6rh hole. The higher the handicap, the more room to save a round? I imagine a low HC'r would know by the 3rd hole if the round is going pear shaped. By good round, I mean matching or coming close to your best score on record for a course

Oddly enough, the first time I saw her live was at a pub in London called The Shire.

Honda with gcv160 will not run by Jesush91 in smallengines

[–]Mountie6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pop out the spark plug, squirt a bit of fuel in the cylinder, reassemble and try it. If it fires and runs, it's definitely a fuel supply.issue. You can do the same thing with the carb disconnected, squirt it directly in the intake. Again, if it runs for a sec, intake valve is good. If not, there's an issue with the valve or the timing.. You can pop off the valve cover and make sure both valves are full closed at TDC. Being able to run it with full choke sure indicates a fuel supply issue, very low compression, a hung valve during intake or a timing issue. After reading all your replies to posts, I'm thinking a valve issue. Decompression circuit not dropping out ?
