I have old Stihl chainsaw and if I want to use it on Wednesday, I have to start the cranking process on Monday! Stihl now has a high end EFI chainsaw, so hopefully the tech will trickle down.I have enough "fun" with them every spring getting the yard tools going.
I too was taught this.So I’ve always been told (not lately though) to Always turn off the AC before turning off the vehicle. Is this another of my personal outdated “car-isms” or could it actually be Beneficial to the AC compressor and clutch? My trucks ASS still activates even w the AC on, once it cools the cabin down, so as long as I let ASS be then it’s going against what I’ve always been told on its on.
Dave, we are weather wimps here in our city compared to Phoenix and Las Vegas . Only 100 yesterday. The highest temp ever recorded here was 107.1°F. Will possibly be traveling to Phoenix in mid-July and find out what REAL heat is like ? .105 is nothing lol I'd love for it to be that cool here. Heck it's 7:15 pm and it's still 109 out here with 117 forecasted this week.
Hi RP,that reminds me of my days in college
the roomates knew only two settings for the furnace. full on or full off
if it was cold in the morning...full on blast furnace
until you were sweating.
then full off
until you were freezing
repeat....
it was lost on them that a thermostat can do all that work for them
how they graduated and made it on in life was beyond me.
Can you explain this to my wife too.Hi RP,
I think these folks believe there is a hurry function on the thermostat if they turn it up full. My wife believed if you set the oven to 550° when she needed 350° it would get to 350° faster than if she set the oven to 350° initially. Finally used a stop watch over a couple days and it showed little difference in time to temperature for the oven... So explained this to her for the heat and A/C too. She now gets it!

Wait, so are you saying that repeatedly pressing the elevator call button won't make it arrive soonerHi RP,

Monster KYOSHO ? ?I can't even spell carbomurator, much less remember how to prime one ?.
I know some long for "the good old days" but after having modern EFI I never want another carburetor on a vehicle.
I have enough "fun" with them every spring getting the yard tools going.
My last carb'ed vehicle was this dual carb hootnanny.
Firing it up after sitting all winter could be an exercise in prayer and sacrificing a chicken.
I was planning on eventually swapping it to a Subaru engine but got rid of it because it was a time vampire.
2010cc stroker with dual Dellorto carbs and a bus transaxle.
Lightning quick acceleration (depending on traction it would pull a wheelie) but pretty much maxed out around 75
When I was a kid, if we had extra parts left over after a repair would put them down the Carburetor's throatMonster KYOSHO ? ?
