Hey guys,
I've been having some problems with one of my petrol mowers lately, I've visited a number of different forums, but no-one seems to answer or even get the question you're asking. No matter how simple or well-worded it is.
That's why I decided to make this thread, because we're not all computer-freaks, but some of us are mechanics, others are electromechanics, while most others are software- and app-developers.
I guess I'll start off with my problem, because I really need help..
(This is just copied from a different forum, where I asked for help..)
A few days ago, my lawn mower (Briggs and Stratton Quantum XM-50) almost ran out of oil, to which it then turned off (I hadn't touched it). The next day, my Granddad bought me some synthetic oil, which I then poured generously into the motor - After that, because it's a habit of mine, I pulled down the accelerator and then gently pulled the cord so the oil could smoothly run across the piston.
About an hour later, I tried to start the engine, it just kept miss-firing and didn't want to start. I tried over and over again, for about an hour.
Then, with all my might, I pulled the cord and the carburetor caught fire!
I'm actually quite scared to even get near the cord, as of now, so I just put it in the shed and pulled the spark plug.
I really need to mow the lawn and I can't afford a professional repair or a new lawn mower, that's why I'm asking for help, as how I can get the lawn mower going again and maybe even how I could get a little more performance out of the motor.

Happy discussing and please help Lol.
Have a wonderful day! (No, I'm not on Drugs. I'm hungry...)
Did you pour it in the oil reservoir or the motor?

I know the briggs and stratton engines (used to work on them lots) it sounds like your carburettor is sticking or the float has a small hole in it, you need to strip it and clean the jets out and check the float . It's quite a simple job (about 20 mins)

Hmm. I cleaned the carburetor the other day.
But I got a bit scared while starting it and the starting mechanism broke. Lol :laughing:, once I've got a new one, I'll report back

Something about these PPC, I just fall in love with. I had my wizard few years ago. Been through everything together. Getting girl's numbers, text messaging friends, and everything a phone should do. Became my best friend. Then when my phone got soaked in Gatorade, there was no way of recovering it. Felt like I lost a friend. I actually cried that night.
Now I have a kaiser and already a month, something about these phones, I'm starting to fall in love with. When I play around with my phone and people came up to me and ask me if its a sidekick or an iphone, i feel like the phone has been insulted. No one makes fun of my phone like that!!! There are even times I start talking to my phone and playing around with it for no apparent reason. Am I a psycho or is this normal behavior?
Am I the only psycho here?

You're not alone.... here's another true geek, picking up my phone a few times every hour just to check if the todayscreen is still there... or to change the theme and change it back after an hour...

Of course it wouldn't. It knows how easily you could get another phone just like it were it to betray you in such a manner. LOL
It's kinda funny actualy. I try to limit my showing off of my phone to my parents and close friends, but they blab more about it to people than I do... They tell me that the first thing the people they tell is "must be an iPhone...". they usualy reply, "No, he doesn't touch anything made my apple..."

We'll see how the phone acts when you purchase the new TYTN III
Ok, this one is mainly for guys
I just want to see if I'm a freak, or is this normal; when I got my smartphone, my average time spent on toilet has dramatically increased.
So, guys, do you spent more time on toilet, less or same as before you got smartphone?
LOL I have my sister-in-law with her two kids, a 8 mos. old and my wife.
The bathroom is the "throne of solace" and it seems to be the only place I can go (no pun intended) where I can get some peace at home.
Thank ye gods for my phone otherwise I'd be staring down at my feet going nuts by now.

I have never read or answered a call in the toilet, that is a sacred place to put the garbage ASAP and then return to what ever you are doing
OMG. Extra 30 minutes? That's insane. I actually don't even bring it to the bathroom because I don't want my +$300 phone wet and explode!
Oh my, I cant go to the bathroom without my phone. Lol, without poker, email, news, fbook, etc. id just be in there all bored with my stench!

if you spend more than 20 mins at a time on the throne, start looking for a good colorectal surgeon because you'll evenutally need one: nsfw

I spend about 15min in the toilet and always have, it's not like because I'm browsing or reading on my phone that I will spend more time in there.
Reading on the toilet just seems so appropriate, even if its a magazine or on a phone lol.

all these satellites and crap floating up in the stratosphere, and falling back down as they age, it's making the future picture in Max Headroom more and more closer to reality
soon enough we'll be walking out the streets with those metal shielded umbrellas to protect our-self from the falling debris
Max Headroom was such a cool show!
Anyway, yep..it's getting pretty messy up there. If there was a runaway cascade effect it could get seriously ugly, fast! Imagine going back to pre-satellite era communications!*
We do have the re-tasked NORAD keeping a watch on the situation though, (when they're not busy tracking Santa), and i'm sure if there were any imminent threat we'd have heard more by now.
Don't forget that a lot is coming down even as we put more up, and what comes down mostly burns up safely in the atmosphere. I watched a beautiful re-entry event from my garden one night, as something that glowed green as it burned, streaked towards the ground before splitting into numerous fragments.

the one that you saw... was that the other telecom satellite that was in the news 3 weeks ago?
i though they said that went into the sea

Could have been anything and it was a long time ago! It was eerie and quite unexpected though. I just always look up while i'm outside smoking at night. Force of habit!
It annoyed me when people started mouthing off recently about how NASA couldn't predict where that last one was coming down. If by putting spin on it, you can make a tennis ball swerve by two metres over the length of a tennis court, imagine what unpredictable path an irregular shaped object falling through one-hundred kilometres of atmosphere could take!
YOu know I'm taking some of it if parts of it fall in NYC. And I'll try to be there before the FBI/CIA/Secret Service/Army/Navy/Coast Guard/Aliens/BBQ gets to the location.

Fair play mate. If it stops you smoking and is better for you then who could disagree with that! Since you're in the know, how is it compared to a real cigarette, in both experience and health issues?

The only health defecit you get is the irritation from the nicotine but even then its a slight tightening like when you smoke a real cig too quick or in the morning. All the crap has lifted from me lungs. I feel so much better for it.
The reason I stopped was because I got sick of stinking like a fireplace and sick of the taste. Now I can have it how I like AND save 2-3 thousand a year by not buying the tax monster.
Seriously though, I thought it was more widespread than this... Guess no-one else has caught onto the scamming t**ts in power....
I prefer snus. Much better than sigarettes, but i don't know if it's legal in the UK.

Because of their size to the untrained eye a train appears to be going slower than it actually is. 8 or 9 out of 10 make this deadly error. You gauge a train's speed by stationary objects around it's path of travel. Telegraph poles or electric poles are convenient reference points. Error on the side of caution. Beware of the 2 or more trains at once on different tracks, the one you can't see can still kill you.
Don't trip on the tracks, ties or gravel holes as this can be a deadly mistake even with no train. The rails will break bones if you fall on them... always assume a train is coming. I've walked many miles on active lines starting at 6yo, still here.

"At the hospitable mansion where I am a guest, I have to smoke surreptitiously when all are in bed, to save my reputation, and then draw suspicion upon the cat when the family detect the unfamiliar odor. I never was so absurdly proper in the broad light of day in my life ... so far, I am safe; but I am sorry to say that the cat has lost caste."
