  1. Ditto: The worst mistake I ever made was selling the slide in. Should have kept it for the "father & son" fishing and hunting trips, maybe I'll find another or build one to suit.
  2. This should take you right to the video of it in action. http://www.honda-marine.com/modelDetail.as...odelGroup=BF20# A shoot, then go to features and chick on the play power tilt video.
  3. Cliff and I sent a couple of PM's and I believe all is well, just different opinions from both sides of the coin. Sometimes my submissions may look horribly misdirected, I assure you, they are not, I have no benefit from ragging on anyone. I'm just trying to show both sides of what could have happened but fortunately didn't. One must often visualize events and possible repercussions from different angles so to speak. I worked for 25 years in enforcement, almost another 10 completed in dispatch like Lew said. I've seen enough carnage to last a lifetime, that's why I made the comments I did. Let's go back to fishing, shine up the auger and sharpen hooks, tie on new line, wax the runners on the sled, just got back from town and dang the ponds are frozen, if this keeps up, Little Lake will be hard soon. Hey MODS, we need a "Frozen Fishing" icon.
  4. Spring is the time to sell, fall(probably to late now) is the time to buy, if you go to the customs site, there is an info package on what you must do, prior and at the border when bring in such an item.
  5. Ya, hopefully nothing expensive. I know that after a couple hundred starts the fuse (looks like a piece of tin) would expand and shrink so many times, it would form a hairline crack, and finally on the colder days, no contact, but the relay would cycle like normal, lights and all go dim, but no power to the glowplugs.
  6. Wayne, let us know what it is/was. Not knowing what year Mo's car is, there are a couple other things, that could come into play. Usually injector pumps on those don't go from one second to the next, they go bad slowly, fuel mileage going down, lower power, etc.
  7. Yor're right on that one, the newer ones have an EGR valve that can really get plugged and cause greeat havoc.
  8. I'm not beating on you Gerritt, but if you look at the big picture and had smoked some poor child darting into traffic, how then do you justify that, what do you say to that parent? I was in a rush to save my child, the hell with yours... I'd be more likely harping on the child care provider you have to make an intelligent decision. If your boy needed medical care, there's always 911 that will get you an ambulance. No fight, no flames, just honest thoughts.
  9. Okay, at 320K I can see an injector pump, just that I've seen some folks get hosed when not properly diagnosed, I almost had that happen, when the diesel mech showed up and said to the other mech, did you check the 50 amp fuze on the firewall for the glowplugs, 50cent piece almost cost me $700. New fuze $.50, put the old pump back in and ran from 1979 to 1990.
  10. Out of curiosity, how many km on that car Mo?
  11. I'll take a stab at it, my understanding, some rivers are open upstream a certain distance, and it will be noted in the regs by something like, "upstream to the railway bridge" (usually close to the shore) or a noted natural feature such as waterfalls, and someimes it's marked by a post with signs. If none of the above apply, then draw a natural line across the mouth of the river that intersects the land on each side. Some small bays are considered part of the shoreline where as other's may be specific.
  12. Take your screw along with the rubber "O" ring to your local Car Quest or other auto parts store(maybe NAPA), they should be able to match up the part.
  13. Pas de farces, I know what weeping tiles are, but was not aware that's what they call the plastic perforated drainage hose chez vous.
  14. One place not far from Barrie, 1/2 way to Angus and south, is the Wolfs Den, give them a call at 424-4867, excellent place. Then there's another one in Barrie at 728-1968 xt5250, found that in the Supershopper.com
  15. Mike: what the heck is a "french drain"?
  16. Number one: Amen Lew, extremely well said, Number two: Not picking on anyone, however the next time anyone is doing breakneck speed by recklessly rushing to the scene, think of how many other people they have put at risk trying to save another. Imagine hitting someone at more than one and a half times the speed limit, or "T" boning someone, taking out a couple of other people and destroying someone elses family. Like Lew said, "pay the fine and get on with it" Or maybe you want some graphic details of the last one I got to first, simply because of speed.
  17. I must say I have to thank my father (gone for a long time already) for buying his Ariens 7hp/24", in the winter of 1969/70, it's still running like day one. Excellent machine, parts are still available if needed. It's had 2 mufflers, 3 belts and one friction drive wheel in 36/37 years, can't complain. Change oil, pump up tires, add gas and blow snow. If I had to choose another model it would be either a Bolens or Toro. In my opinion, the rest like Murray, Yard work, you'd better have a snow shovel on standby.
  18. Maybe you should try selling freezers north of 60...
  19. You have an e-mail from me.
  20. Yes it's normal, my Honda does the same thing, there's a slight indent on the one side between the upper and lower pieces, just a drain port.
  21. So whats the company that's giving you the shaft?
  22. Many, many years ago, (40) or so, I can remember my dad saying, never mind the rest of those numpties, but you just wait til the orient starts pushing across the pacific and they'll be hungry for food and work and do anything for it.
  23. I really don't think so, what you have translated works out to a "large perch", but the kind of perch that a bird sits on. Like a roost.
  24. Here's the dealer list, DC Marine in keswick is a close one, the rest: http://www.strikemaster.com/dealers/canada.html
