I own a 1991 kawasaki gpz500s and the starter button keeps burning out i have had the starter solenoid replaced and a new spring put in the button aswell as the junction box because it blew two diodes. It worked fine for a day then the starter stuck on and the swich burnt out again i tapped the starter solenoid and that stopped the starter motor from sticking on and have had the bike checked out and it has blown the junction box again.

On a 96 Saturn SC2, it has the flip up headlights. On the passenger side, when the light is flipping up, the light is on, but as soon as its all the way up, it cuts off. The brights still work on both lights. Do I just need a new headlight?

My g.f. has a 95 Integra with a spoiler and I think it looks much better without the spoiler. Its been raining lately a lot and shes concerned if I take off the spoiler water would get into the screw holes and rust. What should I use to cover up the holes without having to get it proffessionally covered?

I am having trouble with my XMODS. You know, the radio controlled car that you can upgrade? Okay, I have a Scion of the Evo Series. My problem is, whenever I try to turn the wheels, the wheels rub against the front of the car where the hemisphere for the tires are fitting around the chassis. i thought about trimming the body, but then i would be getting rid of plastic from my new body upgrade kit. When I first got the car, it had no problems with it at all. But it all started when i changed the rims of the tires. When I finished changing the rims, I put the body on the chassis. I tested my car again, but I noticed something. The wheels where rubbing against the body, slowing it down. Is there a way to fix this?

When I engage my clutch there are a few instances to where I can not shift into any gear. I mean it wont go anywhere. All that happens is that it makes a thuding noise each time I try to access any gear. I have to litterally jam it into third to start moving. Once in gear I can move freely throughout the gears. Its almost as if the clutch never engages. This only happens occassionaly when the Jeep is at a stand still such as at a red light....never while moving. I can turn the Jeep off and fly through all of the gears with no resistance. I have had my cluth, transmission, slave cylinder, master cylinder, pressure plate, and throwout bearing all replaed in hopes of fixing this problem all with no luck. I hope someone can help me out. The only thing I have left to guess is that possibly the drive shaft anf transmission arent lining up porperly...and if not, how do I fix it?

Answer:

Clipping is one form of distortion that occurs when an amplifier is overdriven, which happens when it attempts to increase voltage or current beyond its limits.

When an amplifier is asked to create a signal greater than its maximum capacity, it will amplify the signal only up to its maximum capacity, at which point the signal will be amplified no further. As the signal simply "cuts" or "clips" at the maximum capacity of the amplifier, the signal is said to be "clipped." The extra signal which is beyond the capability of the amplifier is simply cut off, resulting in a fixed signal. Note that this fixed signal suffers from other forms of distortion, such as total harmonic distortion.

Because the clipped waveform has more area underneath it than the smaller unclipped waveform, the amplifier produces more power in clipping. This extra power can damage any part of the loudspeaker, including the woofer or the tweeter.

Does anyone realize how dangerous Red Light Cameras really are?
Those things are so incerdibly dangerous for motorcycle riders.
It is litterally a life or death decision to risk getting a ticket or risk having the driver behind me turn me into a hood ornament.
Yeah, so it is their fault if they run into the back of me but that is not going to help me very much if I am dead.
Then to make things worse the local govenments tamper with the duration of the yellow light and make it shorter in an effort to catch as many drivers as possible!
I actually used to think that red light cameras were a good idea but after almost being rear ended three times now and having to slide to a stop more than once because the guy in front of me locked down his breaks on a light that went from green immediately to red with only a flash of a yellow light I have completely changed my mind.
Just do a yahoo search for "red light cameras rear end accidents" and see what you get.
What can be done?
