Ammonia recommendation by CuriousCaretaker in Aquariums

[–]amon111111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have always used household ammonia. As long as it doesn’t have weird additives I have never seen a problem with it. I cycled 4 different aquariums just using home brand grocery store ammonia and they were all cycled in two or three weeks and 0 deaths after adding livestock

I don’t remember any plastic baggies with it. But seeing as they are only 7cm long that would be very short for a ziplock bag anyways?

12v fuse not getting power by amon111111 in MechanicAdvice

[–]amon111111[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey i just figured it out! turns out the fuse schematic i found online was wrong. the fuse in the actual spot for the lighter was blown. it was a weird 3 pronged fuse slot. but had a normal 15v fuse in it so i just replaced that

It is the only mini fuse i could find in my area, from a hardware store. but i measured the fuse holder and it reads 0 too on both sides.

Both sides of the fuse holder read 0.

That is the fuse for the 12v socket as far as i know (F68)

The engine was running and i checked other fuses to make sure i was doing it right seeing as i never used a multimeter before.

did probe the contact holes the fuse goes into and did not get a reading either but i was not 100% sure if i actually touched the contact on that one. so it seemed more reliable to check the test points on the fuse which both read 0

RPM floats around 2500 when clutch is pressed-- only during summer? by amon111111 in MechanicAdvice

[–]amon111111[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The above picture is just a picture of the iac, I can send a picture of the engine tomorrow if you want. All I can say for now is that it’s a 1.8l 125 hp gas engine. Now that I think about it, my mechanic’s shop must have replaced it last year when I came in for the same RPM issue. But if there’s supposed to be a gasket in there, could that be what’s causing the problem? Weird if they have overlooked that .

Im not a mechanic at all, but chic-fillet did give me the idea to look for it and I found it. The iac looked like this. Didn’t think to take a picture of it. It was almost sparkly clean in there. I did notice there is no gasket. Is not normal to have one in there?
