“They” say that unattended cooking is the number one cause of kitchen fires, but I was standing right next to the oven when that pot full of carburetor cleaner went up in flames. Okay, not carb cleaner. I can’t afford the good stuff. It was a pot full of Pine-Sol. Okay, Columbo, it was dollar-store brand imitation Pine-Sol, which is indeed flammable.

The most important thing to do in the event of a fire is not to panic. Luckily for me, my life experience consists of dealing with many fires. Panic is actually completely impossible for me at this point, as the part of my brain that handles the adrenaline response for such a disaster is no longer responsive to stimuli. Last doctor I had was pretty sure it had just burned itself straight out from over-use, did two papers on it. She got a job at some AI-run drug company, one of the ones whose name is all consonants. Let’s get back to the fire.

I had a fire extinguisher. In my kitchen, no less. It was just attached to a big chunk of Chrysler Imperial, because it used to be part of an NHRA-standard drag racer. Those guys are sticklers about fire protection, probably because you can only watch so many up-and-coming teenagers with immense racing talent reduce themselves to barbecue before you decide it might be time to ask them to carry a fire suppression system onboard. I hit it with my adjustable wrench, which is the only thing an adjustable wrench is good for, and it goes off, blanketing the room in some horrendously caustic fire-uncausing chemical. I also sometimes use it (the wrench) to grab hot pots off the stove when I can’t find my oven mitts. Now is such a time, and I quickly throw the entire assembly out of the missing kitchen window into the snow, where it sizzles and is rendered inert.

After a few minutes to regain my composure and discover the furthest extents of man’s discoveries of new and exciting profanity, I step outside to retrieve the carburetor. Clean as a whistle. I smile, and walk back inside, ready to begin the arduous task of forming my own carburetor gaskets out of old roof shingles.

Fixed our water heater!

Fixed our dead water heater! This post is a little PSA if you're ever in the same position and want to save a few hundred bucks (or if you're a renter and don't want to wait for the landlord to get around to fixing it).

The pilot light was out, and the indicator panel showed nothing, so I was at a loss. First (after turning off gas and power) I cleaned and vacuumed the air intake, but that changed nothing. I tested the ignitor, and it produced spark when pressed, but the pilot light remained out. That meant something else was preventing gas from flowing. Could be many things!

Apparently the most common issue is the thermocouple, which creates a tiny flow of electricity to the control panel when heated with a pilot light, and allows that to open the gas valve to heat your water. Testing could reveal the issue to be one of many other things, so I went to the interwebs looking for answers.

This video provided them! Turns out our problem was a clogged pilot tube, which I cleared with compressed air, then scrubbed clean with a toothbrush soaked in carburetor cleaner, and blasted with air again to dislodge gunk.

After reassembling everything and doing the pilot-lighting procedure, voila - a little fire lit up! After replacing the cover, I reset the control panel and switched to regular operation. Full-on water-heating levels of fire!

Soon we'll have hot water again, thanks to this kind person: X

" take your pick . " (i will put doc anywhere/when you just tell me where you want him)

THE SOUNDS OF NIGHTMARES SENTENCE STARTERS .

Jim had the tendency to lash out first, ask questions later. In fact, his knuckles were still bruised from a fight he'd been in the night before. Though his hands were now buried deep in the pockets of a severely faded pair of jeans, inevitably the old man would see them. Not that he wouldn't also see the black eye that ringed his left one - always the left, where he tended to drop his guard more.

Which brought him to his next point: why was he following this eccentric figure that others seemed to shy away from? Easier to ignore than face head on. It sounded familiar, as their eyes tended to dip away from him as well.

Maybe there was the tiniest spark of hope that he could find something here that he needed, whether unconscious or not. More than definitely he was curious.

So when he was beckoned, he followed.

But he hadn't expected the junk filled garage. Full of half completed projects that he had to duck his head just to avoid brushing the hanging ones. This is, of course, after he'd already knocked one with his forehead after initially coming through the door and missing the way Doc moved.

"I don't know about all this." He voices his reservations as he comes to where the other has stopped in front of a table. It's much cleaner than their surroundings, with a few objects laid out. Somehow, it feels like a test. Like depending on what he chooses, he'll be seen.

So he purposefully avoids what appears to be the handle of a phaser, and a circuit board, until his hand hovers over what appears to be a standard carburetor. He recognizes it from the engine of his father's old Corvette - may it rest in pieces at the bottom of the ravine. Kirk presses the tips of his bruised fingers to the metal.

The re-designed the popular HSR42 Performance carburetor and upgraded it with a 45mm venturi to accommodate for large cubic and High Performance Big-Twin engines.

The HSR45 carburetor has the same proven quality features as the HSR42 with only a larger venturi for a bigger airflow, which is needed for highly modified engines.

It is absolutely the best carburetor available today if you don't want to have any restrictions in your incoming airflow for a maximum air-fuel mixture.

Kit comes with carburetor, jet kit, K&N air filter, and chromed air cleaner cover. Works with stock style throttle cables as used on 1996 to present models.

Available for 1984 thru 1999 Evolution Big-Twins with or without manifold and 1999 thru 2017 Twin-Cam models complete with manifold. For custom applications the carburetor is also available separately.

Throttle and idle cables for use with the HSR42, and the HSR45 carburetors Early style HSR42 and HSR45 carburetors have the cable wheel on the left side of the carburetor and use cables as in the table below.

Late style HSR42 and HSR45 carburetors have the cable wheel on the right side of the carburetor and use 1990 or later OEM style cables as used on Big-Twin models. Most cables are available in black vinyl or braided steel.

Compared to comparable carburetors with larger venturi bores, the HSR 45 carb produces higher peak power at full throttle. While the HSR 45 carb's smaller, yet higher velocity flowing venturi and advance fuel metering system deliver a stronger overall powerband with greater ridability at reduced throttle openings, respectively.

The HSR 45 Carburetor Easy Kit should produce an appreciable 10% boost in power and torque on a stock engine with no further modifications, and up to a 25% increase in power and torque when paired with a higher flowing intake and exhaust system.

Note: 1993 to present models need ZPN232234 crankcase breather kit. 1984 thru 1989 models also need 1990 thru 1995 stock Big-Twin style throttle and idle cables.

1957 (All Original) Chrysler 300C Convertible

The Chrysler 300 "letter series" are high-performance personal luxury cars that were built by Chrysler in the U.S. from 1955 to 1965 and were a sub-model from the Chrysler New Yorker. At its introduction, it was advertised as "America's Most Powerful Car".

The 1957 model year 300C was corporately shared with an all new appearance for Chrysler products called the "Forward Look" and featuring a "yawning" wide trapezoid-shaped front grille which was unique to the 300C, "Vista-Dome" windshield, dual headlights, and gradually rising tailfins starting from the doors similar to Chrysler-branded products. The wheel diameter changed from 15 in (381 mm) to 14 in (356 mm) while continuing to use drum brakes for all wheels, and to keep the front brakes cool a cooling duct was installed with the air intake located just below the headlights that fed air directly to the front brakes. The exterior color list was expanded to offer Jet Black, Parade Green metallic, Copper Brown metallic, Gauguin Red and Cloud White while the interior was tan leather standard and optional interior choices were available from the New Yorker list of which the 300 was based.

The Hemi engine was upgraded to 392 cu in (6.4 L) with 375 hp (280 kW), or as a limited edition 390 hp (290 kW) version (18 built). The 392 CID engine was exclusive to the 300, New Yorker and Imperials, while the dual four barrel carburetors was standard on the 300C and continued with an improved air induction system that gave each carburetor its own air cleaner to improve efficiency. A convertible model was available for the first time and was listed at US$5,359 ($51,704 in 2021 dollars) while the two-door hardtop was listed at US$4,929 ($47,556 in 2021 dollars). In comparison, a 1957 Imperial Crown Convertible was listed at US$5,598 ($51,276 in 2021 dollars). GM's Pontiac Division introduced the Pontiac Bonneville as a convertible only, offering fuel injection and a similar price tag but offered lower luxury content and a reduced price for 1958, and Mercury offered the Mercury Turnpike Cruiser for 1957 with the optional 430 cu in (7.0 L) Super Marauder V8.

The car introduced red, white, and blue '300C' circular medallions on the sides, hood, trunk, and interior and was the first model to use the color scheme.  A total of 1,918 coupes and 484 convertibles were built.

Understanding and Fixing EGR Issues in the Ford Somerset

Common Symptoms of EGR Problems

Before diving into the solutions, it’s essential to identify the symptoms of a faulty EGR system. Here are some common signs that the EGR valve or system in your Ford Somerset may be malfunctioning:

Rough Idling and Stalling: A malfunctioning EGR valve can cause the engine to idle roughly or even stall. egr fix somerset This happens because an EGR valve that is stuck open allows too much exhaust gas to enter the intake manifold, disrupting the air-fuel mixture.

Poor Engine Performance: If the EGR valve is stuck closed or clogged, the engine may suffer from poor acceleration, reduced power, and decreased fuel efficiency. This is due to the higher combustion temperatures, which can cause knocking and inefficient fuel combustion.

Increased Emissions: A faulty EGR system can lead to increased NOx emissions, which can result in the vehicle failing an emissions test. This happens because the EGR system is not properly recirculating exhaust gases to lower the combustion temperature.

Check Engine Light (CEL): The vehicle's onboard computer monitors the EGR system. If it detects a problem, it will illuminate the check engine light. Common diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) related to EGR issues include P0401 (insufficient EGR flow) and P0402 (excessive EGR flow).

Steps to Fix EGR Issues

If you've identified EGR-related symptoms in your Ford Somerset, follow these steps to diagnose and fix the problem:

Inspect the EGR Valve: Start by locating the EGR valve, usually found on or near the intake manifold. Visually inspect the valve and its connections for signs of damage, corrosion, or carbon buildup. If the valve appears to be clogged with carbon deposits, it may need cleaning or replacement.

Clean the EGR Valve: If the EGR valve is clogged but otherwise in good condition, cleaning it can often restore proper function. Remove the valve and use a carburetor cleaner or a specialized EGR valve cleaner to remove carbon deposits. Ensure that the valve moves freely after cleaning.

Check EGR Passages: Sometimes, the problem isn't with the valve itself but with the passages that direct exhaust gases to the intake manifold. These passages can become clogged with carbon deposits over time. Use a wire brush and cleaner to clear any obstructions.

Test the EGR Valve: If cleaning doesn't resolve the issue, test the EGR valve using a vacuum pump (for vacuum-operated valves) or a multimeter (for electrically operated valves). The valve should open and close in response to the correct signals. If it doesn't, the valve may need replacement.

Inspect EGR Solenoid and Sensor: The EGR system includes a solenoid and a position sensor, which control and monitor the EGR valve's operation. If these components are faulty, they can cause the EGR valve to malfunction. Use a diagnostic tool to test the solenoid and sensor for proper operation.

Replace Faulty Components: If testing reveals a faulty EGR valve, solenoid, or sensor, replace the defective component. Be sure to use OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) parts to ensure compatibility and reliability.

Reset the ECU: After repairing or replacing EGR components, reset the vehicle’s ECU (Engine Control Unit) to clear any stored trouble codes. This can usually be done by disconnecting the battery for a few minutes or using an OBD-II scanner.

Preventing Future EGR Problems

Regular maintenance can help prevent EGR issues in your Ford Somerset. adblue removal somerset Here are some tips to keep your EGR system in good working order:

Regularly Clean the EGR Valve: Periodically cleaning the EGR valve and passages can prevent carbon buildup and ensure smooth operation.

Use High-Quality Fuel: Using high-quality fuel can reduce carbon deposits and prolong the life of the EGR system.

Perform Regular Engine Maintenance: Regular oil changes, air filter replacements, and overall engine maintenance can reduce the risk of EGR problems by keeping the engine running clean and efficiently.

Fuel Injection or Carburetion - Opting for the Right Dual Fuel Kit

In today’s business landscape, reducing operational costs and minimizing environmental impact are top priorities. Dual fuel technology provides a practical solution for diesel generator owners in Delhi NCR, allowing them to switch between diesel and cleaner, more cost-effective fuels such as PNG, CNG, and LPG. However, with multiple dual fuel kits available, selecting the right technology can be challenging. This blog, from CNG Power, a leading supplier of Dual Fuel Kits in Delhi NCR, will highlight two major fuel delivery systems: carburetion and fuel injection.

Decoding the Technology: Carburetion vs. Fuel Injection

Carburetion

A carburetor is a relatively simple mechanical device that mixes air and fuel to create a combustible mixture for the engine. It relies on the vacuum created by the engine’s intake to draw fuel through a nozzle. The amount of fuel delivered depends on the air flow, making it less precise.

Fuel Injection

Fuel injection is a more advanced electronic system that precisely measures and delivers fuel directly into the engine’s cylinders. Sensors monitor engine parameters like air pressure and temperature, allowing the electronic control unit (ECU) to calculate the optimal fuel amount for each combustion cycle.

Both carburetion and fuel injection technology is being used in dual fuel kits for diesel engines in India. However, the trend is shifting towards fuel injection due to its numerous advantages.

Choosing the Right Dual Fuel Kit for Your Needs

While carburetion-based dual fuel kits might seem attractive due to their lower initial cost, the long-term benefits of fuel injection outweigh the price difference. Here’s why:

Fuel Efficiency and Savings: Precise fuel metering in fuel injection systems translates to significant fuel cost savings over time. Compared to carburetion, which struggles to maintain an optimal air-fuel ratio, fuel injection delivers the exact amount of fuel needed for efficient combustion. This translates to using less fuel to achieve the same power output, leading to substantial cost reductions on your operational expenditure.

Reduced Emissions: Cleaner combustion in fuel injection kits minimizes your environmental impact and helps comply with emission regulations. Carburetion systems often struggle to adapt to varying engine loads, resulting in incomplete combustion and the release of harmful pollutants. Fuel injection, on the other hand, precisely controls the fuel mixture based on real-time engine data. This ensures cleaner burning, minimizing harmful emissions like nitrogen oxides (NOx), particulate matter (PM), and hydrocarbons (HC). By opting for a fuel injection dual fuel kit, you not only contribute to a cleaner environment but also potentially avoid future penalties for non-compliance with emission regulations.

Chrysler 300H 

The 1970 Chrysler 300 Hurst is a limited-edition unicorn that offers performance, luxury, size, and exclusivity. With a length of over 18 feet, it earns a place in history as one of the longest luxury performance coupes of all time. Chrysler 300 Hurst’s origin is shrouded in mystery. The car was assembled at Chrysler’s Jefferson Avenue plant in Detroit, Mich. It was shipped 600 miles east to Warminster, Penn. for completion.Hurst bolted on a distinctive satin tan fiberglass-skinned hood with 300H emblems and a fiberglass trunk lid with an integrated spoiler. There’s no mistaking a 300H on the street because the car was only available in Spinnaker White, with orange and brown tape stripes embellishing the flanks. Oddly, the cars were not equipped with Hurst shifters.Safe to say, there’s nothing like the 300 Hurst’s magnificent interior in the muscle car world. The designers swiped the gorgeous overstuffed tan leather seating from the Imperial. It’s as if someone stuffed a living room sofa into a Charger.

Every 300 Hurst edition left the factory with Mopar’s well-proven 440 cubic-inch V-8 and a heavy-duty TorqueFlite 727 three-speed automatic transmission. The air-cleaner housing proudly carried a TNT designation.

With a four-barrel carburetor, the TNT 440 engine had a 375-horsepower rating with 480 pound-feet of torque. The 300H’s V-8 wedge is identical to Plymouth’s Super Commando 440 and Dodge’s 440 Magnum. Slap on a decal and boom: It’s a TNT.

With the standard 3.23 gears out back, the 300 Hurst delivered 0-60 MPH times in 7.1 seconds and a quarter-mile time of 15.3 seconds. Its speed with more aggressive gearing and stickier tires is anyone’s guess.

Essential Guide to Jaguar Carburetor Services: Troubleshooting, Repairs, and Maintenance

Owning a Jaguar is not just about driving a car; it's about experiencing a legacy of British automotive craftsmanship. These luxury vehicles, known for their elegance and performance, have a rich history that dates back to the early 20th century. One of the key components that contribute to the performance of classic Jaguars is the carburetor. While modern vehicles have largely transitioned to fuel injection systems, many classic Jaguars still rely on carburetors. However, these components can be finicky and require proper care to ensure optimal performance. In this guide, we will delve into the essentials of Jaguar carburetor services, covering troubleshooting, repairs, and maintenance.

Understanding the Jaguar Carburetor

The carburetor is a crucial part of the engine in many classic Jaguar models, such as the E-Type and XJ6. It is responsible for mixing air and fuel in the correct ratio before delivering it to the engine cylinders. This mixture is vital for combustion, which powers the engine. A well-functioning carburetor ensures that the engine runs smoothly, providing the power and performance that Jaguar owners expect.

Common Carburetor Problems in Jaguars

Carburetors, especially in older vehicles, can develop a range of issues that affect engine performance. Some of the most common problems include:

    Fuel Mixture Imbalance: The most frequent issue with carburetors is an improper air-fuel mixture. If the mixture is too rich (too much fuel), the engine may run rough, emit black smoke, or experience poor fuel efficiency. Conversely, a lean mixture (too little fuel) can cause engine hesitation, misfiring, or even overheating.

    Clogged Jets: Jets are small passages in the carburetor that control the flow of fuel. Over time, these can become clogged with dirt or debris, leading to poor engine performance. Symptoms of clogged jets include sputtering, hesitation during acceleration, and difficulty starting the engine.

    Float Problems: The float controls the fuel level within the carburetor bowl. If the float is damaged or misaligned, it can cause flooding (excess fuel) or fuel starvation. This can result in inconsistent engine performance or even stalling.

    Vacuum Leaks: Carburetors rely on a vacuum to draw fuel into the engine. A vacuum leak, often caused by worn gaskets or cracked hoses, can disrupt this process, leading to rough idling, poor acceleration, and reduced power.

    Worn Throttle Linkages: The throttle linkage controls the opening and closing of the carburetor’s throttle valve. If these linkages are worn or out of adjustment, it can cause uneven acceleration, hesitation, or difficulty maintaining a steady speed.
