Let us see if anyone has an answer to the posters question. This debate is not going to get better and it will be locked because of that fact. Art

As some know I restore old motorcycles, cars and small engines just as a hobby and the number of carburetors I have rebuilt is in the hundreds now. The size of the jets and the passages in a carb. can be clogged by poor fuel and ethanol quickly. If you haven't been inside of a carb the passages as well as the jets are in some cases as small as a hairbrush bristle. The amount of sludge that i remove from the bottom of the float bowls that have been put away wet without stabilizer is just sick. I use stabilizers in all of my engines that will have gas sitting in it for longer than 3 weeks. The others get treated twice a year. For a motorcycle RnR on a carb set is usually $300.oo that buys stabilizers for many a year. Art

well done Mike I wrapped my carpet around my PT boards to keep them off the aluminium 14 years ago and it is doing fine. I also do not put the boat away wet using open decks and a fan just to keep mold and deterioration from happening. Art

no some of us work for a living and have a hope that someday we would not have to babysit grown people. Art

Chris post a picture of the knife I have a few things that work and if it is to bad you can ship it to me and I will restore it. Art

I have been doing the same for years. You can either wash them or throw them away if they are to messed up. Most of the time they are a buck or two usually. art

Rest in peace Kevin for the family he will live forever in our memories a kind man and a great friend for sure. Art

We had issues with people joining and filling up the classifieds using the board as a sales tool rather than being a part of the community. We have a few people that are very active on selling in the classifieds who have over time become not only good supporters of the board but in most cases selling items that are excellent products with discounted prices for our members.

I am sure that she will be put to rest with the utmost honor that she deserves Lew. The pride of helping protect the country and world is something that some can not grasp until they have signed up for service. Once there, the bond between shipmates and the ship that they lived on is stronger than people can imagine. Rest well HMCS Annapolis you have earned your next mission of peace. Art

dans got the answer the transducer will need to be mounted so there is no turbulence if you want any kind of high speed reading. The lss-1 is not a high speed transducer and it can be put deeper. I have the set up on a twin screw 28ft boat so the mounting I can not help you with. Art

We turned off the ads to show that it is not our site. As soon as we turn the ads back on APB will react with our ads and we will return back to an issue. Just a note also that APB works differently in each browsers which is why it will filter Chrome and lets IE thru. So we can ask T.J. to turn off the 4 ads we have and run out of money in about 3 weeks or thank everyone for turning off APB and help fund this site and keep it open. I prefer to say thank you to everyone myself. Art

Raf try powering down your modem and let it reset it will clear your ip address and possible a new address. if this fails contact your server and ask if they have a different ip they can manually set. Art

yup Raf has figured out how to self ban himself. Still trying to see if we can get him back .

still an issue on both 7 and 8 T.J. Art

I just reverted a copy of ad blocker and it worked fine on the site. After updating it the site on my computer went back to having issues. While IPB is checking on there end to make sure they have no bugs in the closet it appears (in my untrained thought process) that it is the software of the adblocker that has changed and conflicting with the site. I have another site that is also not compatible with the new adblocker download. I will forward this to Roy to send to IPB. Art

If you are having an issue please post what is happening as well as the OP you are using. If you have any conspiracy theories keep them to yourself. With the amount of time and effort that Roy is putting into this issue with the IPB the next time you see him you better buy him a beer. None of this will happen fast for now turn off your adblockers and use your browser that works for you in your area. For every ad you have to look at we graciously will accept the 1/20 of a penny we get to improve and buy the bandwidth that keeps this board on line. As I have said many times before We are very happy that people choose to be here it is a place of great wealth of friends as well as a way to share life with the many friends we and you have made over the past 16 years. With that said it is your choice to be here threats of not using the board will not fix this issue. Still working on a solution Art

We have work tickets in on these issues they are in the base site not from changes we have made to the board. If you are having an issue please post it here and tell us as much detail as you can and we will pass it on. Thank you Art

Thanks Lew I am sure that anyone who knows him will send him a hello note. They have been as family to a lot of the people who have been here for awhile. I will only add with this news LakAir will not be opening for the 2015 season. Art

With all of the time that we put into keeping this site up and running and in some cases money from our own pockets. I take offense to some of the remarks posted here and the knife in my heart is that Roy is taking time from his REALLY busy world and apologies to people for all of the extra effort and time HE puts in to get I.T. things fixed in a timely manner. Come on folks lets be a little more giving to this site as well as the people who have given their time, effort and money so you all have a place to meet and greet. I will stop here but give your head a shake if you think this site is about making money. A sad Art

If you are running ABP it will interfere with some of the script that we use to open the pages. Art

very nice thanks for sharing. Art

The ammo shortage is due to people hording ammo. It is easing now but the factories shut down the 22lr to make the larger caliber rounds for more profit. Art

Happy Birthday John best of the day to you. Art

Wood is harder to control as a heat source gas is the best option if you are choosing. Art

Cadbury won they got the money....lol Art
