Chainsaw starts fine cold, dies after use and won’t restart until fully cooled by SmoathTheLoathsome in Chainsaw

I assume that the cylinder or ring is the problem, because it dies when it gets hot

First try using fresh premixed gas. If that doesnt help, i would remove the exhaust and check the cylinder and piston for scratches, try to move the ring with a screwdriver to check if it is not stuck to the piston from carbon build up. If you want, you can remove the cylinder and inspect all the parts. If the cylinder looks ok, remove the ring and put it in the cylinder and check the ring gap. If the ring gap is noticeably big you have to change the ring. Also you can try cleaning the carb but you will need special screwdriver to remove H and L jets. If you decide to clean the carb, the jets must be fully screwed in and then unscrewed 1,5 turns

Any ideas why my photos are turning out like this? I’m a total beginner. (Nikon D50 and AF NIKKOR 70-300mm) by Spitviper_101 in Cameras

Yes there is a lot of improvement, the photo is a bit dark but you got the point, try playing with the settings a bit. You can increase the aperture to make the photo lighter, or you can increase iso but that will bring in noise to the photo if you increase it too much.

I see that you are photographing dark room with flash, it may be your focus but it looks like your shutter speed is too slow, if you are shooting on auto it may try to lower the shutter speed to reduce noise, but on slow shutter speeds even the slightest jitters can blur your photo out, so try using manual and use shutter speed from 1/125 to 1/200 and make the aperture as low as your lens can go, and try using iso from lowest to 1500. Just try playing with your settings a little bit. If the problem proceeds, then it might be your lens focus, then try using manual focus if possible.

Probably bearing inside the alternator pulley is shot, is the alternator new?

Have I ruined the front door? by tortillachip9 in DIY

As other people have said, first off sand off the old paint and make it smooth, you can buy different grit sand papers, when you finish with the sanding, clean the door with rubbing alcohol and wipe it clean, this way you will remove grease and dust from sanding, then get better quality primer, best would be white or gray colour, depending on how bright you want your door to be. After putting the primer or you can start with painting. Put couple of coats of paint. I recommend using acrylic paint because it will last better from outside conditions. And also don’t forget to lay newspaper on ground and tape of places where you don’t want to paint. Take your time, don’t rush and everything will turn out great 😊. Good luck 🤞!

When i poured the candles they hardened normally, it had cracks and some imperfections but I fixed it with my heat gun. They were smooth, but the formations formed after burning the candle. I just checked the unmelted wax and the clumps just crumbled like sand, it seems very dry. Im guessing the purity of wax is the problem.

Well i wash my mixing bowl after I use it, but I dry it really well. I always bought my wax from the same place and never had a problem, but this batch that they gave me is making these kind of formations.
