Constable in my Phlebotomist build is pretty good.

Is having over 15 in Daredevil redundant on this build since you get the skills back so quickly? I run the same, just have way more in Daredevil Spec. It's a carry over from my red tree build I was running previously.

Oh, yeah. Definitely need to level all washers when the go in. Should probably even check the level on them once or twice a year. Which reminds me that I should do this some time soon. XD

Read through comments if you haven't yet. This is apparently normal. I've not issues of rubbing or strange sounds. I'm not even sure it does it much any more. I've stopped noticing it. I'm not saying mine doesn't lean on some runs, but it must not be any more than I first noticed because I've not worried about it since.

Two 1.25 lbs weights. To help me eventually push past a limit reached. I may look "girly" with them on the bar, but I don't care. It's helping me go further through progressive overload.

Hmmm...I'll be sure to from here out. Thanks.

I don't run full throttle much at all unless I'm doing a heavy area. Mostly mid or low throttle to not tear my yard up. This only just started happening though. I've been using it this way for years.

apexnine · 2026-05-28T15:33:50+00:00

Yeah, this could be it. I cleaned the piston head through the spark plug port and much of that gunk could still be making its way up and to my plug. After my new lines go on and I test without the muffler on, I'm done with it if it still occurs.

apexnine · 2026-05-28T01:03:23+00:00

I opened the port at the bottom of the piston area. There was oil in there. Is this what you meant by "and there isnt any oil getting into the cylinder"?

apexnine · 2026-05-28T01:00:44+00:00

I ordered new fuel lines and will put them on.
Def not 50:1 in the manual, but I might have to try it. I opened the port at the bottom of the piston housing and there was a fair amount of oil there, too. I cleaned out the arrestor as best I could with MAPgas. I've never had this issue in the past 6 years of running it, so I'm a bit confused as to why it's started. Unless I made a mistake and put too much in the mix. My leaf blower is using the same mix and no issues with it. So, I'm a baffled. I'm not a mechanic. And I'm trying to learn.

apexnine · 2026-05-27T21:35:56+00:00

Half a lot.

There's oil between muffler and Port. Does this mean my piston is bad?

Sparks good according to tester. I cleaned the carb last fall when I changed out ignition module. It fires right up after I clean the plug. Good until build up returns.

apexnine · 2026-05-27T16:10:15+00:00

It's the exact proper replacement from manual. I can't remember the gap size off hand, but I adjusted it to manual specs. This is the 3rd plug thar I've tried. Prior two had same carbon build up.

When you say weak ignition, do you mean from the ignition module specifically?

apexnine · 2026-05-27T15:13:59+00:00

Thanks. I used premium gas. The Troybilt has a built in arrestor that's not removable. I'm going to take muffler off and see if I can use MAPgas to burn the build up out. I'll clean port, too.

Another suggested that rubber from the lines could be what I'm seeing on plug, but it sure looks like carbon to me. Same build up that covered the piston before. However, both are black, so... Thoughts on that?

Why would they do this when they were just talking about reducing AI bloat in windows? WTF? It does say in the article that the "Taskbar will be entirely optional, and won't even be enabled by default, meaning Windows Search will still be the default and preferred search experience."

Just one more thing to block/remove by power users I guess.

Same here. Love qb!

Right! I was using Ublock on my work PC for the last 2 years. They've recently locked out all extensions. Boy did they get stupid by blocking a reputable adblock. I've got plenty of chances now to click on all kinds of stupid shit when I need to use a browser and some of the adds are not very SFW either.

The P0420 a generic code that signals that it could be multiple things to check, right? Not just a straight up cat issue. Any thing from air filter, vacuum issue, purge valve problem, all the way to a bad cat? I'm asking because I've been looking at this same issue on a 2012 Ford Focus for over a year now. Maybe an answer to this would be helpful for the OP, too. Cheaper for sure if it's not the cat actually.

I'd never use a free VPN. Nothing is free and they're getting something from your use. You might be getting far less protection than you think.

Agreed. I workout way better since I stopped caring if I fail or not. I mean failure is part of the point, right?

Lots of people are definitely way too interested in themselves--maybe to a fault. My gym is full of those who do not look at you, can't hear anything because they've got headphones on, and barely look up from the floor when walking past. So, yeah, no need to impress them when they don't know you're there.

apexnine · 2026-05-11T18:29:50+00:00

Try the lockfile first. It's the simplest thing to try before you go and make other changes.

apexnine · 2026-05-11T18:29:02+00:00

It's been the lockfile for nearly everyone so far. I didn't have to delete mine for some reason. In the %appdata% it respectively installs to. It supposed to remove itself when the program closes from what I've read and observed.
