there is a lot of rust in antifreeze. had ever thing changed but heater core. they say it wont do no good to change it, because of all the rust. do you think it would hurt to pour draino in to unclog heater core. i have spent over 1,200.00 dollars on this and still have no heat help.

Hi All - hoping someone can advise me on a problem i have with a motor...

Background - i know VERY LITTLE about mechanical engineering (electronics and circuit boards are my thing).

My son has a motorised skateboard. It has a 34cc 2 stroke engine that drives a rear wheel. The pull start broke on it after very little use, has been replaced and then the 'claw' snapped on it. That has been replaced and has gone again within a few 'pulls'. Major problem is that this is a cheap/nasty china cheap import and the motor/parts that just aren't made to last.

I'm looking for a solution to get this motor running. It has no gears/clutch (just a throttle/brake). I'd appreciate any advice.

My questions are:- Is it possible to 'bump start' a motor that doesn;t have clutch? Also, a freind, who knows as little about motors as me, says that you can start the motor with a common workmans drill - is this so? If not, is it possible to buy electric starts for this type of 'mower' engine...?

I have an 2001 chrysler sebring, and my oil like came on day before yesterday, and my car has been parked, and i drove it without checking my oil, and my car started to make flapping dadada noise, and so I pull over at autozone and I HAVE NO OIL, and I added 4 quarts of oil, and the noise stopped until I accelerated over 50 mph the dadada noise starts again, plus it takes alot for my rpms to shift...

I added oil, my transmission fluid is purple, and I have Anitfreeze.

what could these noise be ? my headers???

The real question is can it be done without pulling the engine. I appear to have a pretty good leak in the rear of the engine, the mechanic said it was the freeze plug.
