Also check to see if its set to faster time or shorter distance. That makes a difference too.

I just took out the water pump from the He 2 front load washer. It seems that the pump will probably just fail again because there is no screen protecting the chintzy plastic rotor from any debris.Anyone...

many washing machines have a dead end filter in the hose
this where the hose extends past a right angle hose that goes to the pump
that set up allows buttons, pins , coins to fall to the dead end and the water to flow off to the pump
just a matter of putting in the drain hose
if that is not possible push an aluminium scourer pad up the hose and lock in place by placing a smaller section pipe up after it that will be held in place by the pump fitting

Safety Tip

Always Ride With Traffic<br />The number-one killer of American bicyclists is riding against traffic (riding on the left side of the road). This is a killer because drivers entering roads rarely check to their right when pulling out. They assume it's clear because they know cars don't come from that direction. So cyclists riding there have no chance. Why do cyclists make this deadly mistake? Sadly, it's because parents teach them to. Why? Because they've got their safety rules confused. They're applying the adage to always walk facing traffic (a good rule) to bicycling-a lethal mistake.

How to adjust front derailleur on a shamano 050 ?

The front part is a bit tricky to change sprockets. I have a mountain bike with three sprockets, I also have difficulty with changing them. It all depends on the design of the changer. I am able to change from large sprocket all the way to the smaller but from the smaller sprocket to the second is okay but going into the third (large) sprocket is a real problem and no matter how hard an adjustment I've tried, it still doesn't want to go to the far end. Example, if it is in the smaller sprocket, it changes okay to the middle sprocket but it will not fully change in the larger sprocket because the cable doesn't fully push the changing bracket far enough to roll the chain on it. So, as with myself having same problem, I'd say, never buy a bicycle that doesn't change the front sprockets with ease. But while you have one of these three front sprocket bicycle, you have two options. Try and put the bicycle on a stand and adjust the changer's screws so that it can reach the far end where the large sprocket is, or in another case -where the smaller sprocket is, depending where your problem lies, the larger or the smaller sprocket). Remember that the air test is different to the road test. On the air test (bicycle on stand) the changer may be able to change sprockets but on the road the chain is heavily under tension and may not over-jump into the larger sprocket, but down-jumps into a mid or smaller sprocket quite easily. So, the best thing you can do is to not to apply force to the pedals to relieve the chain of any tension so that it can jump over the larger sprocket. But apply tension to the chain, such as 'accelerating', and it will not over-jump the larger sprocket with ease. However, if you change down to a smaller sprocket while 'accelerating', it usually changes without problems. The other option you can use is to sent the bicycle to a store and have it fixed there. Work is guaranteed and you can be sure your worries will be over.

Why it shuts down while driving

Usually if you are having problems with intermittent and impossible to diagnose "shuts down while driving" issues on a D-series Honda, it's a bad distributor. Heat and vibration usually cause one of the three sensors in the distributor (top dead center, cylinder position, #1 top dead center) to intermittently fail. About 90% of the time, this is the problem.

It is such a prevalent problem I used to always keep a spare "dizzy" in the trunk to bail out my fellow Honda nuts when they ended up dead on the side of the road.

The engine stopped while driving on 2003 Ford escape. Oil light, check engine light and the battery light came on

oil, check engine and battery will always be on when the engine is dead--because there's no oil pressure, nor battery charging. A faulty oil pressure sending would never prevent the engine from starting. You'll have to tow it to a shop to find out why

My 1300 Nuvi wants to take me down dead end roads.

try to update your GPS through the Garmin web site. When all is said it's up the the state and county to keep their maps up to date. So blame them.

Hit a bump in the road , speedometer , tact ,went dead

Wonder about your stoplight, taillight? Most of that stuff runs off the accessories fuse. Check that fuse to see if it is blown. If it is, replace it and see what happens. If it blows immediatly, you've got a dead short somewhere. If it stays there, you may have an intermittent short. The intermittant short is a bear to find because it's tough to fix a problem when it ain't there. Electrical problems are always difficult and this about the best information I can give you. It's a starting point.

Good Luck
