Okay.
I need to do an experiment. I have to compare two different products and record which works better. I chose rust remover. I am going to soak rusted screws, nails and bolts in the rust remover. I cant think of any rust removers at ALL!
PLEASE HELP ME!!

At the moment I am training for my PPL (H) license. I have just been wondering what jobs would be available to myself. Hopefully I want to continue on and train for my ATPL (H). What jobs full time would be available to myself once I get my license, not my PPL license but my ATPL (H).

Also what jobs would there be, were I actually take people up in a helicopter for like transport just like airplanes would transport people from airport to airport.

Regards,

Thanks

I have a 1959 galaxie car with a straight 6 engine and 2 speed automatic transmission. Last year, I had the engine rebuilt. However, in the last few months it has run rough (feels starved of a steady flow of gas) when idling with the transmission in drive, or when i step on the gas to acelerate or drive at high speeds. These problems only occur after the engine has reached a normal or higher operating temperature. I would greatly apreciate any sugestions as to what the problem could be. The air filter is clean but wonder if it could be a dirty fuel filter?

I drive a 1998 Dodge Stratus. Today I found a puddle of coolant underneath my car. After checking underneath the car, I saw the coolant leaking very quickly. This was not just a drop or two, it was almost like a hole was punched into the reservoir and it was just spraying out. What could be causing this problem? And, is my car safe to drive?

It's labor day, so the mechanics are away. But I do plan on having it checked out tomorrow.

I am considering getting a scooter/moped. Although I am 20 and have the money, my mother tells me she will not allow it because it is dangerous. Someone please tell me the risks involved with riding a scooter and convince me that I shouldn't get one. Because right now, I think driving a car is more dangerous to other people.

I recently upgraded to a 17" set of wheels (Up 2 " from 15's), and have found that i now have an alignment issue... i think

My steeringwheel, inorder for it to be straight, must stay slightyly crooked. it is now off center, meaning that the stearing wheel is turned slighty to the left when the car is driving straight. I also have noticed it has a vibration in it when approching 70mph and beyond.

I have taken it to a toyota dealership and had the tires balanced and rotated, and the front end aligned but my problem was not solved at all. The only thing that is screwy is that the front tires and the back tires are different. all though they are both size compatible (215-45-zr17's) they have a 87w and a 91s on the front and back tires. They are all in good shape, but they can handle much more than they're getting right now, and i want to be able to solve that issue. Can anyone give me some pointers on what to do now, or what might be the issue?

I have a slight haze of super glue on a visible part of my car after working on it. It's not a big blob of glue or anything like that, just like a cloud making the clearcoat dull over a 2x1 in. spot. Any product I can use or should I just let the sun part it from the paint?

why a Shoei? thats just how an advertisement started that encouraged me to buy a Shoei helmet then the ad went on to say--No other helmet in the world can surpass the handmade quality of a Shoei............. ad in Sept 07 Rider magazine. I was also encouraged to buy a Shoei by the praising reviews. All this was about full faced helmets I only buy and wear half helmets. My question how can a company that can make such a wonderful full face helmet make such a poor or cr.... half helmet?? Or are their full faced helmets not all that wonderful just way over priced? Maybe Shoei does not even make their half helmet? I know I made a huge mistake. But i have never saw a Shoei helmet. I purchased a Shoei half helmet it had very poor linings and a thin strap that easly twisted, are the full faced Shoei helmet like this????

I ran out of gas one day last week and my van hasn't driven right since, When i put new gas in it it went fine until it just died once going up a hill, that time i put in a new fuel pump because i thought it was blocked. It went fine then for a while until i stalled on another hill... closing the choke manually and pouring some fuel into the carb started it, but then i left it sitting a few days and then it wouldnt start, i had to close the choke and pour gas into the carb again to start it. it started but frequently just dies on me.... its an 87 dodge ram 5.2 v8... im thinking spark plugs or timing any help is greatly appreciated.

On random occasions my '98 Prelude sputters and sounds like It's running on half its cylinders for about 3-5 seconds right after I start it. If I rev it once or twice it will break loose and smooth out and will run perfectly fine untill I turn it off and try starting it again. It won't sputter or miss or anything while I'm driving, even while pulling a hill.

Today I replaced the plug wires, cleaned the plugs and EGR valve...and its still acting up...

Anyone have any ideas?
