Weak ignition? Looks like you've investigated everything else. I don't know if starting fluid makes it any easier to start an arc in but I know natural gas is more difficult. I would try a smaller gap, a plug with a finer electrode or both. If any of that helps, start looking at magneto gap...

I bought one of these after my Caldwell died from lead poisoning. It's easy to use and it never missed a shot until I updated firmware last week. They've released a patch for that (3.32) but I haven't had it out since. These aren't the only radar chrono's. A buddy has the older larger Labradar...

Danka! I spent 40 years designing power conversion circuitry. I've seen a few problems. I've caused a few problems. In this case I suspect but don't know that someone on an assembly line cased up a 10 Amp breaker in 30 Amp plastics and then applied the correct side label. Given the photo is...

I looked up the part number on the breaker in your first picture. You state that is like the breaker you installed. Check the P/N on your actual installed breaker and see if it is the same. That first picture appears to be a 10 Amp breaker incorrectly built with 30 Amp plastics. This is what I...

I started shooting clays with a 12ga Beretta O/U, I forget what variant. It worked fine and was pretty but I eventually started looking for something more shoulder friendly. I traded the O/U for a Beretta Excel "smurf" semi-auto. Within 2 weeks it was back to Beretta for repair. It went back 4...

Jetting is fixed. Idle is the screw under the +- scale.

Only the finest genuine Chinese PT5000. I am trying to zero out the timekeeping. It runs very consistently. There is a little friction between the regulator fingers and hairspring. If I move the fine adjust enough to overcome friction it jumps between -2 and +2 seconds per day. Maybe I need to...

Does that GFCI plug sit out in weather? A little moisture inside would have it acting like that. I've had them go bad for that reason.

I had a DeWalt 20V string trimmer and it was ok. The trimmer head is flakey in several ways but it got the job done. Some people change that out to a Husqvarna head but I'm not sure what one. I had a DeWalt pole saw and it was serviceable. Chain speed was slow so it was a bit bouncy with its...

Or a '65 MG Midget. Where there's a will...

You guys and your flashy new machines... Edit: Sig would have been here but another damn tube went ouuuu.........oitnv ;oybky A,

First computer? I'll play! DEC PDP8/E. Ok, it belonged to my high school. A couple of us programmed it to play tic-tac-toe in some ancient version of Basic. About 400 millimips I think. The bootloader was loaded manually with front panel switches. Enter 12 bit binary word, enter a memory...

I agree Wilhelm. That's why I asked to swap models. The dealer was very good about it. Fun fact - My JX85 5 speed transmission failed just out of warranty. The drive pulley is on top and the less than perfectly sealed bearing pressed into the housing below flush. Moisture collected there...

But wait, there's more... I mowed his old and new place with the little electric. It seemed to power its downsized blade well. It auto throttles up when it senses higher torque loads. It's quiet and cuts just fine. Dual ball bearing wheels, easy height adjust. What's not to like? Well, that...
