Re: Where's Don S?
Trog, this is your posting, nobody changed anything. You gave bad advise. To a person that knows NOT what they are doing, THEY do not know YOU did a "typo". Glad you are not a surgeon, as I would not let you take my blood pressure. This is your post, and then you even go on to debate YOURSELF! Read on..... <br /> Ps. When was the last time anyone saw a lefthand throttle stop screw, and besides, this side on the pond its called a Idle Screw, but I digress...... <br /> Trog's post <br />trog100 <br />Chief Petty Officer <br />Member # 51877 <br /><br /> posted April 24, 2005 06:25 PM <br />-----------------------------------------------------------------------------<br />the throttle stop screw.. that does pretty much what it says.. it stops the throttle butterfly from closing too much and is what keeps the engine going as opposed to it just stopping when the throttle is closed..<br /> if your engine is idling at 900 rpm.. u screw the throttle stop screw in a bit (1/4 turn) and the throttle butterfly closes a bit more and the engine idles slower <br />screw it in too far and will come to a stop.. if u have a good look at were the throttle linkage joins the carb it should be apparent which is the throttle stop screw..<br /><br /> Then ewen post this........ <br />ewen <br />Cadet <br />Member # 55154 <br /><br /> posted May 04, 2005 10:00 PM <br />--------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br />um ive just got through reading all the above wo!<br />i think don is right in checking out. and as for TROG100 um check out your original advise--since when did screwing in a throtle stop screw decrease idle speed, shouldnt it be screwed out you know ANTI clockwise. its probably miss information like this that gets up peoples noses who are genuinley trying to help others <br />--------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br /> Then trog again <br /> trog100 <br />Chief Petty Officer <br />Member # 51877 <br /><br /> posted May 05, 2005 06:39 AM <br />--------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br />well i had gone but nobody seemed to notice.. <br /><br />this really is utter nosense but does serve as a good example of why i must be going..<br /><br /> (This is a repeat of above post) <br />"um ive just got through reading all the above wo!<br />i think don is right in checking out. and as for TROG100 um check out your original advise--since when did screwing in a throtle stop screw decrease idle speed, shouldnt it be screwed out you know ANTI clockwise. its probably miss information like this that gets up peoples noses who are genuinley trying to help others<br /> Now back to Trogs post <br /><br /> not only does someone post this nonsense.. it imediately gest backed up by someone else.. gee wiz bang we got trog again.. yee-ahh.. <br />screwing in a screw.. well as a genral rule.. u screw it in when the head gets closer to the threaded bit its being screwed into.. could be clockwise could be anti-clockwise depending from which side to look at it.. there are also such things as left-hand threads.. which go the opposite way..<br /><br />a throttle stop screw.. screws into a little plate or boss.. it stops the throttle butterfy from fully closing.. it has a little spring on it to stop it moving by itself..<br /><br />as u "screw it in" the head gets closer to the plate/boss and the other end of the screw pokes out further.. the further u "screw it in" the more open the throttle is kept.. course screwing one side in does kinda cause the other side to get screwed out.. he he he<br /><br />i know what i mean by screwing a screw in. making the head get closer to the threaded bit.. others might see it different.. he he.. quite clearly some do..<br /><br />either way. there really are too many nit picking "lets get trog" anals on this board for my participation to be in the least bit pleasurable..<br /><br />one anal i can stand but whole bunches of em ganging up on me gets a little too much.. he he<br /><br />i will keep reading this thread out of interest.. i might even answer the most absurd "trog knocks" but basically treat me as no longer posting or making contributions to this board..<br /><br />trog100<br /><br />ps.. and some times i do make the odd typo.. he he.. and if the only thing that gets noticed out of the thread in question and thought worthy of comment is my typo.. that tells its own story.. <br />--------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br /> So when you give directions at the fork in road, guess left or right really doesn't matter to you either I guess...
