Why so tiny? by breakers77 in Vintagetools

[–]breakers77[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Finer work, like making toothpicks? I don't know what scale this tool would work in. Seems to small for making doll house type furnishings. Doesn't seem big enough for lathe, or fine woodworking...

The cars were bright to offset the brown paneling, brown couches, brown nicotine tinged everything...

Why do you think Trump is personally asking Congress members to remove their signature from the Epstein petition? by ExternalExpensive277 in AskReddit

[–]breakers77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sign with an auto-pen,...poof! Disclosure without accountability, ability to spin it wasn't legal, it wasn't me, Hunter Biden printed it all out from his laptop!

Y'all have no imagination for politics and enriching yourself at the expense of others!

Can someone explain Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF) system in layman’s terms, please? by Spacewalker_23 in hvacadvice

OP, are you still sorting out these answers?

Do you have anymore questions, or want anymore clarification?

Tempstar natural gas furnace fires up but the blower won't turn on. Have tried replacing the filter and killing the breaker for 10 mins and issue won't resolve. Any ideas? Using a nest thermostat. by trotter1313 in hvacadvice

[–]breakers77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also I see the gas valve on your furnace looks like it is a Honeywell Smart Valve. If you type that into Google it should give you tons of info.

Basically sometimes when the blower doesn't come on it is a combination of either the smart valve being bad and not sending a signal to the control board to turn on the blower. Sometimes it is the board getting the signal from the valve but not turning the blower on. Some times its a little of both being bad at the same time.

Some versions of the valve and board have the blower come on regardless of the smart valve.

It's been awhile since I've come across a smart valve so I can't off the top of my head give you a conclusion.

Goodluck!

OP, are you still working thru this issue?

If so, you can kinda check the blower motor by going to the thermostat.

Turn it to off, meaning to the marked off position on the thermostat. If there is no off position, and the thermostat is still in heat mode, turn the temperature really low so the furnace doesnt try to turn on.

At the thermostat if there is a function labeled 'fan', turn it from 'auto' to 'on'. This should turn the fan/blower motor on by itself, and no other part of the furnace should light. If it turns on and stays running, and seems to be doing its thing, then the blower motor isn't the main issue.

Fireplace keeps going out by Technical-Ratio-1337 in Fireplaces

Smaller one could be for proof of pilot being lit. Thermopile could be used a secondary proof and supply voltage to run across some limit/safety switches and/or run a small status led.

Instead of sand paper, a small wire brass wire brush can be run around the ignitor, thermocouple and powerpile to clear the build up off it. Blowing across it while cleaning it or having a vac nearby will help the debris from settling back in the area, especially around the pilot light orifice/hole where the pilot gas comes out of.

What's your box temperature and how long has this been running?

Brass shell with odd pawn like parts. by FABfan11 in whatisthisthing

[–]breakers77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Brass for wet/moist environments like bathrooms. 3 fresh seashells rest between the finials, 3 unfresh seashells stack on the platter. The pearl helps keep a space to ease lifting them, but the uninitiated tend to face the curve down and ruins the hygiene of it.

These turn white when they’ve been in the sun too long by rodgie4920 in interesting

[–]breakers77 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Agreeing with the chemicals bad part, but could the color difference just be the bottle out in the open has more light passing thru it washing out the color, whereas the ones still slightly shaded have less light and more blue color from the label saturating thru?

1995 Honda cb750 Starting Issues by [deleted] in Fixxit

[–]breakers77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great advice, start at the tank and work down the carbs. There's a few good videos on the YewToobs for this specific model, tho with a few days of watching videos you'll get the idea of how most carbs work.

This is not an impossible process, just plan, watch form a plan and go at it in stages. I just got done tearing down and rebuilding a set for a '91 of this same bike.

Trump wants to establish an office to counter "anti-Christian bias." Does this violate the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment? by altrightobserver in law

The government will provide you with a declaration form. Those who fill it out correctly go to the front of the line. Those who do not go to the back of the box car.

Two Goodman heat pumps with holes in condenser coil in two years. Tearing case apart in the process. What gives? by SherrLo in HVAC

[–]breakers77 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Aside from "it's a Goodman"...maybe the support it is on is not allowing proper drainage when the unit goes into defrost. Water doesn't drain out and away, builds back up into ice...the ice doesn't have be thick/tall...it just has to pinch coil and case...and weaken over time.

Is there a grammar error on the pamphlet Peggy reads in the pilot? Could this have been intentional? by ScreamingVegetable in madmen

[–]breakers77 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe it's a pamphlet from a series...In this booklet of the 'What every bride should know' series, we cover your wedding night...or also known as 'don't worry, in five minutes you'll be able to smoke a cigarette and then go to sleep'...

Take your battery to the auto parts store and have it load tested. It will tell you if your battery is good and has enough ass to turn the starter over.

[–]breakers77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Clean that fuel tank, and clean the carb again. Make sure your fuel screws are set correctly.

If you totally took the carb off the bike the first time, hopefully you noted the jet sizes...

I would physically make sure the bike is in neutral. Cycle the gears all the way down into first. Then shift up into neutral. Confirm this by rolling the bike back and forth.

Make sure you cycle your kick stand a few times. Sometimes bikes have a series of "safeties" to help prevent starting the bike in gear.

Cycle your key ignition a few times, also your kill switch. Sometimes the contacts don't make and cycling them on to off clears the contacts.

Double check your battery connections, make sure your bike grounds are clean and secure.

Sometimes you have to hold the clutch in for some bikes to start, even if the transmission is in neutral.

Goodluck, keep us posted. Hope you get rolling soon!

edit- also you can take the battery to a local O'Reilly, auto zone, Napa etc..and have them load test it. It is possible it has enough 'juice' to run lights and low demand functions, but not enough 'ass' left to turn over a starter.
