Ok so my cousin had a Shanghai Shenke 250 cc scooter that wasn't running and I bought it and have got it pretty much all fixed up. There is only one more thing that I need to work out. After sitting for about a day or so it wont start up without starting fluid, but once it has been running for about 3 minutes or so it will start up ok without any. After it has gotten warmed up it starts up very easily.

I have cleaned the carb (it wasn't really dirty) and I think that the electronic choke is working ( I took it off the carb and hooked it to power and ground and it got warm and the needle extended a little) and the spark plug is new and it has a fresh tank of gas. so I am just looking for some insight and ideas as to where to go next.

Ok so my siblings and I are going to get our mom a mothers ring for Christmas, I'm personally kinda torn between gold and sterling silver tho.

On one hand, with silver being almost a fourth of the price we could get her something else as well but it tarnishes and needs more maintenance I guess (dont know lots about silver jewelry)

And on the other hand, gold is more expensive but definitely higher quality and doesn't really tarnish and whatnot.

So my questions are: what is your personal opinion on the matter? Can you share any experience or facts dealing with silver jewelry? What would you rather have without taking the price into consideration?

Alright, so I am looking for a cold air intake kit for a Ford Ranger with a 2.3L engine. If anyone can provide a link to a site that sells them that would be awesome! Or maybe a kit that is made for something else but would still work, like a Mazda B2300 maybe?

I have done a little searching already by myself and haven't been able to find a whole kit for a 2.3L

Thanks!

There are different types of windshields and I am wondering what is the difference between AS-1, AS-10, and AS-14 windshields.

I have tried to look up some info online but can't find hardly anything... I know AS-1 is your basic everyday windshield, and I think AS-10 is bullet proof glass? If that's so I have no idea what AS-14 would be lol.

Anyway, any kind of info and/or sources on this would be most interesting and appreciated, thanks!

This truck belongs to my cousin, he took it to a mechanic that said it might need a new governor pressure solenoid, t-stat, and fan clutch. My question is regarding the solenoid, from what I understand this solenoid only helps control shift points... I can see how it might inadvertently cause the engine to overheat due to late shift points/ higher rpm's but it shifts normally...

Any insight is welcomed and appreciated. Thanks.
