  1. The "brass pipe" on that carb might be a "hose barb" that screws into the carb (1/8" pipe tap or metric equivalent) to attach the hose to and the hose barb may be somewhere else in the box.
  2. I suspect it is for a threaded fitting to connect a breather line to the float bowl
  3. I am done with replying to your alternate universe in here. No amount of facts will stop the twists and turns the right will take in denying fact and accepting spin, half truths and outright lies. Have fun this thread is all yours.
  4. The "truckers" "protesting" and blocking the border crossings and making asses of themselves in Ottawa have a small minority of the border crossing truckers, if any of them .. Over 90 % of the ones that were actually hauling cross border are vaccinated The truckers association has disavowed those idiots "protesting" saying they do NOT represent them . The majority in Ottawa want those fools to go home. Trudeau's mistake has been letting them carry on for far too long before cracking down on their illegal blockades of the border crossings. As far as the vaccines and masks working , I'm sorry I didn't realize you lot know more than the researchers, virologists, doctors and medical professionals about the virus, what works and doesn't work in keeping people safe and combatting the pandemic.
  5. Yup. Remove all measures meant to limit the pandemic as much as possible . Too hell with those vulnerable to the virus. Why should anyone be inconvenienced to protect others? The only reason the pandemic killed so many and is still ongoing as much as it is id because so many refused to be inconvenienced by simple measures to protect themselves and others as much as possible . The deniers must be proud of their "accomplishments".
  6. There were likely far more came for economic reasons than fleeing from tyranny, but I'll let you search for data ( facts) that show it was more for escape from oppression.
  7. So you claim they were not still in territory controlled by England at the time and are in the United States, which didn't come intro existence until the 1776 revolution? Tell me what were the reasons for the Revolution and the formation of the United States from the United Colonies?
  8. JR again you are trying to edit my post to claim I an wrong.. I replied to the founding of the US.. The rest of the immigration to escape tyranny and British rule or for more opportunity was AFTER 1776. before the revolution you had the "United Colonies", still part of the British Empire. The reasons for the revolt with led to the the split with England were as I stated
  9. Maybe among the minority on this site, and maybe the majority except for me and Mech is silent. Freedomflyer needs to go back to school and learn his history.. The colonists were Englishmen. The didn't leave England to get away from oppression there. They mainly originally went for the resources there, just as France and Spain did. The Revolution was mainly over taxation. The trigger was the "Tea tax" and repression afterward . You do recall the Boston Tea Party, I hope or did you sleep through that too? There were some migration to escape religious persecution, but again they were Englishmen and only a small minority separatist movement. Even today you have small religious or ideological separatist groups leaving the US because of "persecution" and trying to establish colonies in other countries in Central and South America. The only difference is they call their colonies "towns". Your original separatist Pilgrim settlers from England landed in North America in 1620 to establish a colony ( town). A long way back from 1775.
  10. LOL JR, the "truckers" you're heroizing happen to be a very small minority of truck drivers. They do not represent the trucker's association ,nor the vast majority of the truckers carrying the goods back and fort over the border. You are showing how thoroughly indoctrinized you are by the military/ industrial complex who are in fact that small group of elite you so disdain, but carry on in your delusion.
  11. LOL everybody not on the extreme right is extreme left to you lot. Enjoy your alternate universe.
  12. LOL the courts ordered them frozen when presented evidence supporting the order. Yes , our system works much to the dismay to the American extreme right which appears to have been among the most big buck donors supporting the extremists here. Enjoy your alternate universe where there is no rule of law and everyone can do as they please with no regard to the well being and safety of those they come into contact with.
  13. JR it is senseless to try to reason with you or point out facts . You are immune to both.
  14. To test a thermostat you put it in a pot of water and heat it up. Use a cooking thermometer to measure the water temperature that the thermostat opens up at. It should open at the temperature it is marked for .. In a pressure system, that would most likely be near or at sea level boiling point of 212 Degrees F or 100 C
  15. Good luck on your "freedom" to ignore stop signs and traffic lights because they inconvenience you .. Good luck on your "freedom" to walk into a strangers house uninvited . Good luck on your "freedom" to walk into a store , ignore all their rules, take what you want and walk out without paying because all those things inconvenience you.. You have the "freedom" to risk your own life by ignoring all the pandemic limiting rules, but others also have the "freedom" to exclude you from their businesses and homes if you refuse to follow their rules to enter there. Yes ,there are a lot of people who support your warped ideas of what freedom is, but they are the vast minority, highly visible, but still a minority.. That minority is being mislead and influenced by big money with its own agenda. You really should seek out information on where the millions came from that ostensibly is to support the "truckers" but is really to create the most chaos and disruption to business and government on both sides of our common border as possible. You can put up very misleading videos like the smoke through the mask and post other stupidities all you want to try to discredit fact and the medical community all you want but it doesn't make them wrong .. I'm sure you would insist doctors go unmasked when operating on you or your family members because "masks don't work" To put freedoms into a single sentence, your "freedom" to be an idiot and risk your own life ends where it interferes with others "freedom" to be as safe as possible from infection by a potentially deadly virus that has claimed the lives of far too many. As so many deniers say , "wake up". Maybe you'll see just how badly the extremists have mislead you. I wouldn't be surprised if Putin, Xi and Kim are pissing themselves laughing at what is going on in the west.
  16. Enjoy your alternate universe you three. I prefer the real one.
  17. LOL JR you don't have a clue on how our system works , either governmental or our banking / monetary system, but go ahead , enjoy your delusions and have fun with Fox"news" , Epochtimes and Newsmax. None of them are credible news sources in the real world..
  18. I said I'm beginning to wish they learn the hard way they've been killing people with their denials of the pandemic and steps to try to limit its spread.. Yes. One way or another those fools need to learn the consequences of their stupidity.
  19. Those "freedom" protesters don;t have a clue what real freedom and social responsibility are.The blockades and "protests" have nothing to do with the vaccine requirements for border crossing .. THat was the excuse to start the idiocy. I'm reaching the point where I'm beginning to wish a non-fatal, but very short term debilitating case of COVID-19 on all the deniers to wake them up to the pandemic is no joke.. The fatality numbers in the US and Canada aren't doing it . Only if they get a good dose of it themselves will wake them up , although there have been an increasing number of high profile influencers have found out to their demise. AS one university student who caught the virus on purpose said just before he died " I think I fu**** up". Freedomflyer, read and understand what's in the link you posted up. The government and GoFundMe are not stealing anything.
  20. No theft involved. The funds are frozen, not by the government but by GoFundMe for violating their TOS, and now ordered frozen by a judge because of the illegal activity by the organizers and participants.. I know the extreme right doesn't believe in the law when it applies to them, but I hope they get a very rude awakening. Those blockades and protests have nothing to do with the cross border truck traffic.. Over 90% of the international truckers are vaxxed and the vast majority of the "protesters" are not drivers of the cross border trucks. Not only our government orders cross border truckers be vaxxed , but it is Also YOUR governments rule .. So you think a small minority of Canadian truckers who don't even cross the border or our government should tell your government what the rules entering the US should be?
  21. Tucker Carlson.... The voice of idiocy.
  22. I won't even begin to try to tell you how that video supports the idiocy of the mask deniers, but in fact helps show how they actually help protect you.
  23. Have you checked it is sparking top dead center on compression stroke rather on exhaust ( timing 180 degrees out). It is an easy mistake to miss even among the most experienced techs .
  24. COVID -19 is not an influenza strain, and masks do help reduce the spread of it no matter what you claim of studies denying it. The reason masking up has been largely less effective than it could be is simply because so many simpletons refuse to do so.. They SLOW the transmission , not prevent it. If an infected person is wearing one and an uninfected person is 6" away ,chance of transmission is greatly reduced between them. I feel sorry for you if you can't understand that simple concept. There are multiple studies that illustrate the rate of transmission related to one masked and both and with distancing, but then those are factual studies , but they must be fake in your alternate universe.
