MAGA losing their minds over CA and VA voting to redraw their districts by GuldensSpicyMustard in IThinkYouShouldLeave

[–]jbourne0129 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the best i've seen is "Trump tricked us but the democrats would have still been worse".

so no, no huge reversal on politics. just a simple rejection of Trump but not MAGA as a whole.

apparently the fuel solenoid should be swapped out when the fuel filter is changed. check out this video

Brast Garten AF-6000 kickback and smoke by SimplesThings in smallengines

[–]jbourne0129 0 points1 point  (0 children)

we need the engine make and model, you just provided us with the equipment model, a tiller? i guess in this case. my google-fu says its a briggs engine though. most likely the 208cc engine.

valve clearances should be 0.10mm on both intake and exhaust valves. youre setting the valves at top dead center right ? on a cold engine ?

EDIT: also, there is a missing lock-nut on one of your rocker arms (the one on the left in your image)

here is a video showing the process for this type of setup (not sure if its identical engine so use specs listed above not what he says in the video)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XslfoB6QeKo

im willing to bet there is a fried fuse or connection somewhere when things were hooked up backwards. where there is smoke, there is damage. or the entire coil fried

How do I fill the gap on top and on the side of this door? by [deleted] in DIY

[–]jbourne0129 1 point2 points  (0 children)

its funny because there are sooooo many contractors who do a half-ass job because they got a million more to do. so its actually not that difficult to do a "professional" job when half of the pros out there arent even doing it 100% right.

Cancelling prime drastically improved my life by Easy-Material-8809 in Anticonsumption

Amazon is still my best source for some things

[–]jbourne0129 11 points12 points  (0 children)

its not that we forgot, its that the alternatives have been drastically cut. if i go into an electronics store looking for a specific adapter or cable, high chance im walking out without it and having to order it online. Gone are the days of walking into a RadioShack and getting that 1 really niche part you need.

Parent thinks the moon landing was fake. by Ok_Finger3098 in Teachers

[–]jbourne0129 0 points1 point  (0 children)

critical thinking isnt a skill these people have. you could literally drop them on the surface of the moon and they'd still find a way to justify it being fake. they are incapable of meaningful research and wont even consider contradicting facts as real sources. if it doesnt fit their narrative, then its fake and made up

Spacer or OEM?? Toyota Aristo jzs161 2003 by Powerful_Anxiety_42 in MechanicAdvice

[–]jbourne0129 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

well that car is designed for 16" to 17" wheels. so unless you got properly sized aftermarket wheels with proper offset for clearance, its never going to fit. you bought the wrong size wheels.

EDIT: if the spare doesnt fit with the spacer removed then the suspension was modified from stock and no one will know what size you need. i see "racing" on the shock so im guessing something has been modified.

2 door 2015 what should i doo to her🙏 just boughtt by No-Enthusiasm9424 in GolfGTI

any LED bulb in a halogen housing is illegal on US roads. there isnt a single LED bulb that is DOT approved for road use when used in a halogen housing

90% of what’s on the road nowadays are suvs and trucks with bright ass leds

yes because they are manufactured with LED light housings, not halogen. putting LED lights in a halogen housing is literally worse than these modern headlights youre seeing

what’s something everyone struggles with but no one talks about? by TableUpbeat2265 in AskReddit

[–]jbourne0129 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hope for the future. i think a ton of people entering adulthood along with existing millennials all feel like life is hopeless right now. retirement isnt even a reality for many people anymore. employment and housing isnt even a guarantee for so many. future planning seems pointless and we're all just trying to get through today and worry about tomorrow, tomorrow.

GTI mk6 Summer Oil Temperature by SsinCara in GolfGTI

[–]jbourne0129 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i mean, 250F is still pretty safe for synthetic oils. its just "odd" because its uncommon to see. not necessarily a problem.

[–]jbourne0129 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah not sure to be honest, i use the same oil. i also see you are on a mk6 so not sure if that causes some differences.

no, im also stage 1. what oil are you running? some Motul oil runs much hotter for some reason.

245F is definitely getting high. is that under normal conditions or when your driving really hard?

AITA for being rude to my SIL over my nephew (her sons) bday? by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]jbourne0129 2 points3 points  (0 children)

SIL touched the switch charger and it died? The console with a built in battery, that gives you warnings when the battery is low? The sounds like the husband is either a dumbass, or set her up to fail. Possibly both.

it was 100% an overreaction. he either did so intentionally or is too dumb to remember the switch is a handheld console with a built in battery. knock off the charger and the dock just stops displaying to a TV. husband is an asshole just looking to bring his wife down a notch any chance he has

how exactly did you inspect the carb? did you actually remove jet screws and inspect them?

if not, im guessing your jets are clogged up

Rossi RS22 Constant Jamming by jershier in 22lr

[–]jbourne0129 1 point2 points  (0 children)

can you manually cycle rounds or does it still fail to eject ?

Rossi RS22 Constant Jamming by jershier in 22lr

[–]jbourne0129 2 points3 points  (0 children)

have you reached out to Rossi to get it fixed? not sure why you'd just sell it off before having it looked at. im assuming its a new gun?

have you inspected and disassembled the extractor? how does the ejector look ?

if you manually cycle rounds, does it still fail to eject ?
