I let the bike site for a month, and now when I start it gas pours out the air cleaner side of the carb. Is a rebuild in order, or is there an easier fix?

Bought a -Ready Remote Start 24923 car starter keyless entry- I understand the clutch needs to be engaged for the engine to start but can it be 'hacked' so to speak that if I leave it out of gear i could start it with this wireless starter?

My friend does it all the time and I've heard from a few people who know cars that it is bad, but how is it bad if it actually is?

I have a 1993 Audi 90s. The blower fan for the heater, defroster, AC, etc does not blow except when it's on high. I was told it is a resistor problem when I posted this question a few days ago. I have removed the glovebox and located the blower motor but where is the resistor?? Thanks for your help!

I have a 26 foot cabin cruiser. Want to put a lot of christmas lights on outside for a parade. I don't have any generator. I was thinking of an inverter off my battery but, I will be running at over 1,000 lights.
Can I buy a very small generator like one used to power outdoor tools. I think I saw one once that was very small and like 100 dollars.
What is my best option. I don't have a permanet place to mount a generator. It would have to be sitting on swim platform as to keep fumes away from cabin.

My 2003 cadillac has a button to push to open the fuel door. When the car is parked it is now popping open and when I close it, it pops open again. I can see the mechanism working after it pops open. It just keeps working. The button inside the car is not depressed so it may be a short circuit How can I fix it?

I know this is kind of a loaded question, but I am 21 years old and thinking of buying my very first car. I need it to have all of the requirements I stated above. I've really fallen in love with the newer Volkswagen Jettas. If anyone has one, I would love to know how they like it. Some other options I've been thinking about are the Honda Civic and the Toyota Prius. I would appreciate any insight anyone could give me. Thanks.

CRAP!!!!

Yes, I'm bringing this up agian, but for a good reason. Education. After all knowedge is power!!!

ANYONE who says "under powering a sub will destroy it" is holding on to a myth.

If I turn my volume down, I'm actually "underpowering" my subs. Low volume, low power.

People are confusing "clipping" with "underpowering". THEY ARE NOT THE SAME THING!!!! Clipping and over powering is what hurt subs and is the exact same thing.

Clipping is when someone tries to over compensate a low powered amp by increasing the sensitivity level (adjust the gain to a lower voltage input) to get more power out of it.

The gain control is a device used to "match" the volts RMS coming from the source.

Here is a guide that will help you set the gain correctly http://www.datafilehost.com/download.php?file=6d26c621

You'll need a multi-meter (AC voltmeter), Microsoft Excel and a way to burn an audio CD from an MP3.

This has been a public service announcement.

I have a 1998 Grand Cherokee Jeep. The check engine light came on about 4-5 months ago, maybe even longer. I had it diagnosed by a friend and we couldnt figure out the code. I dont even remember what it was do to it being so long ago. I have to get a smog test by January though, so I would like to get it fixed. Ive read on a couple sites that sometimes the check engine light will come on after a certain amount of miles? My jeep has about 217,000 + miles on it. Could this be why? Is there any way to get the light to go off? We've tried resetting it, but it comes back on right away.

Im tyring to find places that will diginose it before I have a smog test, does anyone know if Kragen Auto Parts does it?

Iam not sure if bikes must come to a complete stop at a stop sign for safety reasons. I know that they have to obey rules of the road just like motorists do.
