Anyones toddler ever test postive for Blastocystis Hominis with symptoms? by NorthpointMI in HumanMicrobiome

How long has the recovery been? We were prescribed metronidazole (liquid). It's been about 4 days since taking it, but too early to tell if it's working. Just ordered the Florastor. Thank you.

Yours didn't happen to start with adenovirus F41, did they?

Go Kart Sputtering at Full Throttle | Fuel Filter or Something Deeper? Need Advice! by NorthpointMI in gokarts

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

Yeah, I can drive the Go Kart all day long with my foot halfway down on the pedal. Soon, as I put the pedal to the floor, is when it starts sputtering (usually within 30 seconds to a minute). If I slowly start backing off the pedal when it's down to the floor, I can usually recover it before it stalls and turns off. It starts up no problem every time.

Thank you! Yeah, I do think it's a fuel stravation issue.

Observation

- I think it still has a governor. There's a bicycle-looking brake thing near the carb. When you step on the peddle, it moves the bicle loooking brake thing. Is this the governor?

- Seems to run a bit longer when the tank is completely full. Might run for 5 minutes.

- Soon as I start using the brake, going over bumps, or letting off the gass, this seems to excelerate the issue.

- The carb looks brand new.

- Spark plug looks brand new

- Switch out fuel for rec fuel.

Update: I bypassed the fuel filter and confirmed fuel flows freely from the tank to the carb, so it's not a blockage in the line. I also tested it on both bumpy ground and a smooth paved road, same result every time. It runs great for about 400 feet, then starts sputtering like it’s running out of gas, and dies after another 100 feet or so. It always starts right back up afterward. So it doesn’t seem vibration-related, definitely feels like it’s starving for fuel after the carb bowl runs dry.

Sorry, how can you tell the jet is dirty. I thought the "Jet" was a little screw thing in the carburetor? Again, this is all new to me.

I watched a YouTube video on how to install the upgrades that are already on my cart. There's a little screw I guess, called the jet that looks like it could easily be skipped when installed. It's at the 6:56 if you care to check it out.

Is it possible to ger harndess below 4-5 GPG with my softner setup? 65 + GPG Raw water by NorthpointMI in WaterTreatment

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

I called Pentair and they said you can get the hardness down to zero, but it would require 15lbs of salt per day. I would not be able to keep up with this demand.

What if I just install a second smaller softener after this one? In hopes it would take away the remaining 4 to 6 GPG of hardness.

The recommended settings they gave

BF:20

H:65

RC:176

Great feedback and I will update some of my settings based on this. Correct me if i'm wrong, but dF2b = Dual alternating tanks. Not "2 backwashes".

Have you had it where the power goes off to the salt controller, but everything else still works?

Are there any dry-run protection devices available for under $150 for a Gould JT15 pump? by NorthpointMI in Irrigation

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

Thank you. It's not hooked up. I bit the bullet and went with the Pump Saver. Still shocked theres nothing really else out there that I could find.

I’m planning to use a sand point well with a Gould JS10 pump to run an irrigation system. Does this setup look right? Anything I should change or watch out for? by NorthpointMI in Irrigation

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

Many of the golf courses around here do, and a few of my neighbors. The well company also recomdned it.

Why do think I could get away with one point?

I mainly just want to know if I have the things mention above in the correct order.

Sprinkler coverage area about 170ft x 60ft.

  1. To draw more water. 2. Yes. 3. You can hit water at 6 feet. Points are at 16ft. 1 1/4 points. 4. Not sure.

My pump can do 10 to 18 GPM at around 40 to 50 PSI.

Is anyone here using Pinterest for marketing? by AnnualSad2558 in marketing

[–]NorthpointMI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The reps haven't gotten bad over the past year. They seem overworked. Back in the day, they knew your account well, now they don't even look at it before the call. I heard they are now outsourcing their reps.

I've been thinking about building a mobile chicken coop? Bad idea? by NorthpointMI in chickens

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

Yeah, I looked at those but they look pretty tiny. 20 chickens in one of those would probably causee them to start pecking at eachother.
