The whole world knows how the ERW of the GOP have been trying to demonize Hillary Clinton for years with lies and innuendo.. She has yet to be charged with any offense despite the millions of taxpayers dollars the GOP has wasted on their never ending "investigations".. I am not a Hillary fan. She tends to be too secretive in her dealings , but how much of that is due to the constant barrage of lies and half truths thrown at her by the right? She also tends to be a little more hawkish than I'd like to see. Do a search on the Clinton foundation to see what they have been doing with the funds donated to it , including funds donated by the Clintons themselves.... .and stay away from the ERW sites when doing that search .. Look in mainstream sites; and international ones. Then do a search on Trump's charity and see if you can find money he and his family actually donated to it themselves.. There are some investigations into just what has gone into his charity, and what it has paid for.. If you really dig into both Clinton and Trump, you'll find Clinton the far better candidate.. If I had my "druthers", I'd like to see Colin Powell run for the GOP. I can't name a Dem. who would be more qualified than Hillary , or one with a high enough profile to really have a chance.. Bernie had some great idea, but face it, he is too far left to really get any support in either the House or senate to push through any of his reforms. He wants to do too much too fast. If you really dig into Clinton with an unbiased eye created by the old GOP maxim" if you tell a lie often enough, they'll take it as the truth" , you'll find she is not the ogre they paint her to be. Really look into Trump and you will find much to paint him the ogre instead. The ERW has been feeding Americans BS for so many years they think it is ice cream. I also suggest you do a search on world opinion of Clinton and Trump and you'll very quickly learn who is deemed the bad person and who is deemed to have been given a bad rap over the last 20 years.

If all the truth about Trump, his business dealings and treatment of women were known I doubt even his most ardent followers would continue to back him....Maybe they would .. There are a lot of people refuse to face reality when it conflicts with their preconceptions and prejudices. We'll see if Trump actually goes into the second "debate". There's a lot of speculation he may bail on the other two after his performance in the first , and the list of proven dirt on him that can come up in the next and last ones. Maybe some members would like to read this article from USA Today. http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/elections/2016/06/01/donald-trump-lawsuits-legal-battles/84995854/ I know of one company a friend of mine worked for that was forced to go into bankruptcy because Trump failed to pay the full contracted price for the electrical and security work done on one of his projects in our north part of the province.. The company overextended itself to get the job , relying on what they'd get at the end to pay for the materials and workers wages. The real profit for them , they thought, would be being able to say they worked on a Trump project. The workers were paid , but the company did not have the resources to fight Trump in court to recover the shorted funds.... Tell me again how he'd be such a great President. It amazes me how so many people can blind themselves to fact when the circus barker makes the noises they want to hear .

What the US needs to do is join the rest of the developed world and bring in universal health care and get rid of the "It's socialism" cries. The US has the most expensive health care system in the world, and despite what many want to believe , it is not the best. Our "socialist" government operated , one payer system takes no back seat to the US , nor do the other "socialist" systems of the US's allies ... Our system is not free. It is paid for through the tax system , but it is considerably less costly to families and individuals than your system is..... if you can even get coverage for your have "pre-existing conditions" Trump would bring change to the US for sure........ but it is not change you or the rest of the world would want to see. Compare life in the US now with it's failed Reaganomics tax reductions for the rich, and no incentives to keep American dollars invested in American business at home with the tax system and growth of the 1950's. Effective taxes many times higher than now , coupled with real incentives to invest in business infrastructure and charitable donations to reduce those taxes were far more effective than the grab and run system put in play for the rich now. Socialism and high taxes aren't the horrible ogres made out to be by the extreme right....... if they are implemented properly.

I hope a lot of Trump supporters watched Frontline tonight. Just maybe their perspective on Trump and Clinton will change .. Clinton is not going to "take your guns away", nor are the rest of those accusations based in any fact . Trump is a pathological liar, and narcissistic "circus barker" totally incompetent to lead the nation. If you think the US has troubles now , elect Trump and you'll very swiftly learn just how bad it can get. Just the opinion of someone north of your border that can't vote in your election. Here's the opinion of an Arizona newspaper editorial board that tells the story of Trump much better than I can : http://www.azcentral.com/story/opinion/editorial/2016/09/27/hillary-clinton-endorsement/91198668/ Pretty strong endorsement of Clinton and rejection of Trump by a normally Conservative GOP supporting newspaper

It will be interesting to see the results of tomorrows national polls on how they did in the "debate". Trump managed to be Trump again. I must say I laughed at his responses and must congratulate the audience at the debate on their restraint most of the time when reacting to his responses.

Valve lash will increase over time due to wear.. Adjust them cold, and more to the tight end of the range.. As the motor warms up, the clearance will increase slightly as metal expands. Magnetic plugs will pick up any tiny wear fragments and if more than a very small amount of the finest steel "dust" could give you an early warning of a component failing; but at a price of $60, not worth it in my opinion.. You could check for wear by passing a small magnet through the spent oil when doing a regular oil change a lot cheaper and pretty much as effectively as using magnetized plugs. Sorry , I can't advise on which cover is over the intake or exhaust valves.

Battery voltage is low , but that shouldn't stop it from spinning over .....even at 6 volts it should turn. Try cleaning the commutator and make sure all the brushes are making proper contact with both the commutator and the wiring.. Hold that starter tight when you "bump " it .. They have lots of torque and can jump out of your hand if you don't have a good grip. Problem could be a bad ground for the battery or a corroded positive cable to it not allowing enough current to spin the motor over.

Is it just me or does the forum have a problem? I have tried both uploading a video from my PC and not had it connect to upload , and in an attempt to post a link to the video on Youtube, got the error message the video must be from Youtube.com.......yet the URL was to Youtube.com and it was not recognized.
