  • What is this used for.?

    I picked it up at a second hand op shop.

    It has a suction cap that holds it firmly to a bench and a handle which turns a set of 8 blades with teeth. No gearing, just turns the shaft at the same speed as the handle.

    need to know the weight of a cuckoo clock pendulum.?

    I bought it in a box from an op shop for 5 dollars as is. It looked complicated as there were a few springs and wire hooks in the box also but i have since discovered that they do not belong to the clock and all that is missing is the pendalum weight so i am going to just add something temp to test the clock. Can anyone tell me the approx weight i should use.

  • Is it possible to get a printer to print out a statement showing the condition of the machine.?

    I think i read somewhere a while ago that printers can give a report on their condition.

    Adverts in my Yahoo emails.?

    I have asked this twice but i am sure these ads are not the sponsored ads on the right. the ad appears at the top of any emails in box. In this screenshot there is a gillete ad but that changes frequently. Below that is a genuine email which i have scribbled out as i also have any details on the page for my own security. There is no box to check to delete the ad but if i delete the email the ad goes with it to the trash bin. If i go to the trash bin and try to only drag the email back and drop it back into the inbox the ad follows it.

    Avast and Malawarebytes show no threat results so i need to know if this is a normal yahoo mail ad or not before i start doing anything drastic.

    I picked up what seems to be a kitchen tool from a secondhand store (salvation Army) and it is stainless steel. But what is it.?

    It is 11 inches (275mm) long and is made of 1 inch x 1/8th (25x3mm) flat bar but has half a circle attached to each side of what seems to be - tongs and the 2 half circles form a full circle of 2 inches (50mm). Which has a serrated - saw type edge.

    Someone suggested it may be for cutting biscuits and then picking them up with the tongs but the tong ends are not tapered to a fine edge so i doubt it.

    I am thinking - some sort of coring tool where you put it against some type of fruit or vegetable and give it a twist and then squeeze the tongs to remove a circle.

  • Toyota Lexus V6 flooding with fuel.?

    Its a 1993 Lexus but the same V6 fits the Camry and other Toyotas.

    I did a recent post about this car blowing white smoke and got told by most that it was steam and i had a major head repair to do. Well, it wasnt steam or coolant burning. It was being caused by a vacuum modulator that wasnt holding vacuum and it had a small hole in the diaphragm which apparently can allow automatic transmission fluid to enter the intake manifold and burn of a whiteish smoke.

    I replaced that module and now i have another problem which is too much fuel which is actually stalling the motor. I can start it cold and it starts and idles ok but then after a few minutes it starts to miss a bit and then i see what looks like unburnt fuel vapor coming from the tail pipe and a strong fuel smell and i can even see fuel dripping from the pipe and when i let it drip on my finger it turns cold as the fuel is evaporating.

    I am pretty sure it is fuel injected so i am wondering if one of the injectors is putting out too much fuel to one of the cylinders which is drowning the spark and then sending all the unburnt fuel out the exhaust.

    Any suggestions on how to test. thanks.

  • v6 lexen blowing white smoke and oil from exaust.?

    This is a friends car, a couple of weeks ago he told me his lexen was starting to run a little out of tune when he pulled up at traffic lights but not all the time. I suggested new spark plugs which he did replace but now says it is worse and is now blowing white smoke and a bit of oil out the exhaust.

    I haven't seen it yet but he is driving it over here tomorrow. It is about a 1993 Toyota lexen v6 motor which i think is the same motor as the Camry and possibly other Toyotas.

    My thoughts are `a broken ring or head gasket but thought i would ask as there might be a simpler solution.

  • Indian ringneck. What is best aviary floor.?

    I know little about these species. I trapped this little guy because he came here thirsty and hungry as i feed wild birds which will kill him and adverts have failed to find an owner. I am building an aviary for him as i only have him in a smaller patio aviary and he is fully feathered (not hand reared)

    Do this breed prefer a sand floor or a slabbed concrete floor - or a mixture.??

  • Building an aviary. Is treated pine safe.?

    I googled to see what plans/tips were on line. Burkes backyard has this~

    http://www.burkesbackyard.com.au/1998/archives/26?...

    I already have a large section of what was once a patio at the back of my house but it has treated pine. All i would have to do is put the roof sheets back on there and fill it in and it would make an excellent size aviary but wonder about treated pine as it is poisonous. Also now seeing more plans saying treated pine is ok.?
