Humour ON / OFF - must be part of that new HTML code for the Internet 2.0Originally Posted by Acetronics
Engines - not a car this time, it was my garden tractor. But on a side note, I have blown up my share (+ a few others shares) of engines...most on purpose...something about a brick that magically gets stuck on a throttle...I haven't the faintest idea how that happened...

Hi, Ski
That's Quite usual on this side of the Atlantic ...Humour ON / OFF - must be part of that new HTML code for the Internet 2.0
If you want ... I've just installed an Onboard computer on my brand new Honda Lawn Tractor ... ( 18F2520 )
Could help you to take some litlle care of your next engines ...
But, I've not added the Phalanx option against flying objects yet ...
Cheers
Alain

I did a search/replace with MS Word. Came up with 2700 colonsWith 64k in 2100 lines, there's just too many colons to "Optimize".
If I don't have to kill any trees. I'd take a look.

Maybe I'll clean it up a bit and tack it onto the end of that other optimzation thread...
Well, let me rephrase that a bit...
I didn't blow it up...it blew itself up!
Amazing chain of events...
As far as I can tell:
Starter gear hung up in the 'start' position, chewed up the flywheel gear, bits and pieces flew out, parts got hung up on the governor shaft, got the engine stuck on high speed, over-revved it a bunch, broke a connecting rod, which flew out the side of the engine block, which must have bounced off the side cover and back onto the hydraulic pump drive shaft, which broke apart and flew up into the bottom of the battery causing it to spill acid everywhere. Also, the whole time the starter must have been trying to draw maximum current, which melted the main wiring harness and a few other things.
The whole time (only about 10-15 seconds), I'm standing about 25 feet away waiting for the whole thing to stop...
I'm a fairly meticulous maintainer of pieces/parts...but I think somehow this was completely beyond my control... (I should've let the wife do the driveway that day, that way I could blame it all on her).

It's too darned cold where you live to be blaming anything on the wife . . . an' have to sleep alone . . .
If you do not believe in MAGIC, Consider how currency has value simply by printing it, and is then traded for real assets.

Gold is the money of kings, silver is the money of gentlemen, barter is the money of peasants - but debt is the money of slaves

There simply is no "Happy Spam" If you do it you will disappear from this forum.
