Cars & Transportation - 20 June 2007

1986 Honda Elite CH250 w/15,800 miles. Sometimes it fires right up in the morning, other times takes 4 - 8 licks on the start button.

Once it starts it runs fine. After running for 3 miles or so at 30-40 mph, it often won't restart for 25 or more minutes. No pattern detected.

Plug is clean and fairly new. Gas fine. It's getting so I don't trust it.

Something I can troubleshoot?

Ok, so my husband was driving home one night when our truck died. now for some time (since like oct of '06) we had to manual start the truck where i would literally rock it from N to 1 to start it without push starting. which was rather irritating. Well, the night the truck gave out, my father in law went to get my husband, and they said while trying to start the truck, flames got spit out from the muffler i believe. Well, the other day we had to move it, and the key didnt start the truck obviously, but the radio came on, saying to me, battery isnt dead, but i need to figure out whats wrong, we looked at the timing belt, but it didnt appear lose it was acctually really tight, and the owner before us said they changed the belt but didnt time it, which we found apparent when everytime we went up a hill, the truck went from the 60's to the 20's...not so fun....anyways, if anyone thinks they know whats wrong, please let me know, and also, where can i find an owners manual online????

Hi. Is there an experianced motorctcle machanic who could give me some advise on this problem. Or better still. Lives near guildford that can sort the problem out at cost. The problem goes like this. It starts up ok. Tick over not all that. But wen i go to pull away. The revs drop and the bike then has to pick pick up speed to get going. And on top of this. The bike has no pwer or revs in the higher gears. For instance. The bike will not do over 60 mph and will not go over 8000 revs. But if i race it though the gears it will get to 90 mph and 10,000 revs in 5th gear. But as soon as i put it into 6th. the revs drop back to 6000 and the the speed drops to betwwen 60 and 70.

I have the I have a Murray riding mower and when I start it up after jumping it, it dies when I release the clutch. I have jump started it to use it for the first time since last year. It will run after I jumpstart it but will not restart w/o jumper cables attached to running power. It will run until I release the clutch to go either forward or backward.

I have a large down payment , but not-so-good credit. Should I use that money for the down payment or go to an auction and take my chances.

If you have a car, and a lot of stuff - enough to fill an average sized UHaul - but you want to FLY to your next destination because there's only one of you and your car doesn't haul a Uhaul, etc, how do you get your car from one side of the country to the other? or from one side of the states into canada? Can you "ship" your car, in a way? at all?

For the past 9 months my car has been in and out of the shop due to overheating, or the a/c does not work. I've spent so much time and money having the radiator tested, the A/C charged, etc. and nobody seems to know what the problem is. I had a new thermostat put in about a year ago, and the antifreeze is not leaking out anywhere, but does sometimes spill out the top when the car is too hot. It's not only an annoying problem that won't go away, I'm worried it may be causing more serious damage. Anyway, i've now been told by 2 mechanics that the only thing it could be is the compressor or the heating core (or coil)...and that they'd need to take the dashboard out which takes about $500 in labor just to do. My fear is, what if they dont find the problem!!! HELP! Any suggestions? Ideas? Thanks so much.
