    Random information thread

    Oh I like this thread already.

    Holding the throttle wide open clears a flooded engine. I feel this should be common knowledge, but I see people give up on starting flooded engines all the time simply because they don't know enough to keep the throttle open. I see professionals on TV unaware of this procedure as well. Flooded engines start when you hold the throttle wide open. I've showed people this and then watched them NOT do it under an hour later. People refuse to believe it works for some reason. Two weeks ago I saw someone advising the guy with the flooded engine to "Remove the spark plug and flip the machine upside-down, then crank it over with the plug out." FFS... Just last week I watched a two stroke drag racer forfeit his race because he couldn't get his bike started. To make things worse, a second person came over and cupped his hands over the carburetor horns only serving to flood the engine even more. I almost threw a chair through the TV.

    Dihydrogen Monoxide is colorless, odorless, and tasteless.

    It has been used by interogators to torture and elcitite information from prisoners. It's approved by the FDA as a food and beverage ingredient, and is so widely used, there's a 100% chance it's in your body and impossible to remove without causing death.

    I hate to break it to you "King" but the gas in my body is not odorless, or tasteless, and at times its not colorless either,
    it mostly stinks, taste like old eggs and makes my shorts brown.

    That doesn't sound like Dihydrogen Monoxide to me

    If your ATV tire goes flat and you have no other means to fill it, you can simply elevate the tire, remove and replace the valve stem and you will have approximately 2 pounds of air pressure in the tire depending on the elevation you were at at the time you did this.

    In most cases, yes, but I had some out of the tap in St. Petersburg Florida that was a wee sulfuric

    And by "wee", I mean "alot"

    Hydrogen sulfide is a colorless gas.

    Dihydrogen Monoxide is the universal solvent.

    Some sort of blower or supercharger is a requirement for any two stroke diesel engine, however it does not provide a boosted intake charge. Therefore, a two stroke diesel engine with a blower only is known as naturally aspirated, and only those which include a turbo are boosted. The turbo cannot be used on it's own in place of the blower.

    The ol' 6-71 roots blower. I think one of those made an appearance in the final scene of the Fast & Furry Us, gay porn film.




    For the love of Pete, nobody Google that movie title, I just made it up and hope it doesn't actually exist.

    Sorry, I had to...

    I found this which would actually make it the true original since it was made in 1949

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fast_and_Furry-ous

    No glaringly obvious porn though. Mostly.

    If I didn’t know better Scooter I would have thought that was a reference to the MOON family, or maybe you’re that good to reference two post with one clip :

    Contrary to popular belief the Coriolis force isn't strong enough to change direction that the water in a toilet bowl spins when flushed, so depending on the design of the loo the water can swirl the same direction as it does in the Northern hemisphere..... winter or summer.
