The manual calls for SAE 30 oil. Can I use regular SAE 30 engine oil like for a car or does it have to be SAE 30 transmission oil. Keep in mind this is a two stroke. Experience with this would be very helpful, I don't want to screw this thing up.

Hi,

I have seen a small hand-held vacuum cleaner for the car which I would like to buy.

It states that it is powered by the car's 12v cigarette lighter. I've had a look at the lighter in my car - when I remove the bit where the lighter itself should be, it is empty (no idea why), but the inside bit seems to be intact. As far as I can tell, that is.

Will the vacuum cleaner work, do you think? I don't want to buy it, only for it to be unusable!

Thanks.

This is something i read- 'Giving evidence to the committee, transport author Stephen Plowden said he could not see why anyone needed a bike with a top speed of more than 65 mph.'
Dont know about you but this idiot should crawl back under the grey rock he crawled under with his grey pipe and slippers.
It's not so much the top speeds that kill, it's the pwer of some modern bikes. I personaly don't like these 'plastic rockits', but each to their own. Some bikers are dangerous but i tell you, it's the cars we have to watch out for!

My husband's fuel pump just broke and he says a new part costs $200! Is that true? And I'm only looking for the part cost, not cost of service to put it in. Thanks!

I have a 2004 Monte Carlo LS and I dont have the money even to get an estimated on it right now. Somebody said it could be the tire belts. It doesnt grind when I stop the car like the rotors and it doesnt make the noise that a wheel bearing usually does when its going out, although that doesnt mean thats not what it is. Anybody have any guesses, I was going to change all my tires myself, but I dont want to waste my time if thats prob. not what it is. Thanks..

I want to paint my exhaust in a flat or textured black color to match the bike's engine. People recommended ceramic coating but it is expencive and I will have to remove the pipes from the bike. Is there a paint that I could apply that would withstand the great heat of the pipes? The Harley-Havidson store told me that their paint that I used for the bike's engine would probably crack if I apply it to the exhaust...

This is the most basic and simple navigation tool since the dawn of time. Boat manufacturers install them as standard equipment, why not car manufacturers? I know you can get them as 'luxury' items, as digital compasses.

I am aware that you can't put compasses too close to the dash, due to EM interference; however, compasses work fine when stuck on the winshield or near the sunvisor.

Every car I've had, I've gone out and bought a compass for. This should not be necessary.

People are so lazy today, they can't even look at a paper map. Also, they pay $5000 for a talking gps display when you can get a handheld gps for under $100. Microsoft Streets makes a gps receiver and software you can plug into your laptop or pda for under $100, and it talks too.

Why are people and car makers so navigationally lazy? Your thoughts?

It's not burning the gas. It's flowing in the intake and coming out the exhaust, some dripping, and smelling just like regular gas.

What exactly is gain, I have 3 amps and none of them have gain knobs or switches. I think its pretty important because whenever poeple talk about why subs got blown, they usually also talk about improper gain settings so I think its probably important. How do I set gain?
