The automotive industry is only reacting to continued regulations and threats from the government as far as emissions and fuel mileage goes. The government wants to transition us to green energy and they have been talking about it for years. They have been threatening to shut down any fossil fuel usage or production here also. In the meantime, after they shut it down we will still need it here until we are totally green they will go back to buying what we need from foreign countries that do not like us in the first place and prices will go up.

Here's the real reason it's going up. The previous administration had America energy independent for the first time in my lifetime and was actively working on keeping it that way. The new group running the country is hostile to any type of fossil fuel exploration or production, on day one the permit for a pipeline was taken away so that has stopped so now any chance of low fuel prices for any type of fuel is history. Any type of energy production other than solar or wind or electricity is under fire so of course, the price is going to go up. Get ready to pay more for everything, sorry if this offends anyone but it's true. I will probably be banned again so see everyone in a couple of weeks.

I personally will take back as much of my hard-earned tax dollars as I can get. Remember the people who crafted the 5600-page bill gave foreign countries hundreds of millions of dollars of our money and then decided 600 was good enough for people here who lost everything. I am going to use mine to have some ash trees close to the house that were victims of emerald ash borer cut down before they do any damage.

I have broken a few at work over the years taps are hardened steel so they are brittle and will break if too much force used. I have removed them using small picks and screwdrivers to try to get them unscrewed. That's pretty small so its not going to be easy try to get something small down in between the fluted teeth portion and try to get it to start moving. Take your time with it maybe it will start to loosen up and once it starts working loose use the tools to try to get it to unscrew enough to get a grip on it. Spray it up good with lubricant and be patient there will be chips in there making it tougher. If it starts moving and you see chips blow them out with air and spray again and keep working it. Good luck.

While the plugs are out set them against the engine and pull the rope to be sure you have spark on both sides. Pretty much the same as an old motorcycle the carb will probably be gummed up so it may start with the choke but idle might not happen. Clean all passages if you have to get it to idle and it should be ok. I helped my neighbor with his recently it ran but no idle so he had to choke it to keep it running. I saw him crash it into the pier a few times so we pulled the carb and cleaned it and it is fine now. He got it from his father in law a few years ago and after cleaning the carb he said that's the first time in years it would idle without partial choke.

The only people with blood on their hands is China. They knew about it and did nothing to inform the rest of the world about it. They let the people leave the country and spread it all around the world , that is how we got our first case here in Wisconsin , students coming back to school after Chinese new year. No doubt that's how Italy was infected. If someone could please tell me what the Democrats plan is other than to obstruct and criticize I would appreciate it. They have done nothing in over 3 years to help the American people other than to offer free everything to illegal immigrants and people who don't want to work. It is time for them to stop supporting foreign countries like Iran and China and start working for Americans in this country. More people were infected and died from swine flu under Obama and not one word from the media or the democrats. This a new virus and our current testing equipment is inadequate against it , you cant blame anyone for this. You cant make millions of masks and ventilators in a couple weeks people. Watch the press conferences and decide for yourself if what is being done is good or bad. The president closed off travel and the democrats call him racist , he asks for funding and its not enough , he wants money to help citizens and the democrats want it for all kinds of things not related to the virus. Stop getting your news from Hollywood and cnn.

^ this shit gets you banned. this one is for 45 14 days. Its not like i didn't EXPLICITLY state NO POLITICS and to keep it civil .  :whatever:

before anybody accuses me of being some left wing nut job, I read my news from AP and other sources, some left, some right, most middle ground.  I wont take this from either side. and, especially opinion based non facts as demonstrated above.

FWIW,  a very right orientated moderator made me aware of this post. Keep this opinion-based-blame game shit on FB, not here.  AND THAT GOES FOR EVERYBODY.

to be fair, i will strike out the text you should avoid to make anybody get into a  pissing match on here. You should all know better. Id recommend editing your posts.
the next offense for anybody is a 45 day ban. no exceptions i don't care who you are. Washerman got the ban because the FIRST POST OUT OF THE HOLE WAS THIS.   Not cool.
