Don glad you got your tire problem resolved. I have a question for you. Are you down there in Texas or up in the frozen tundra? I figure you are not driving this thing in the cold and snow. But either way if not for you What I have to say might be useful for others on the list. Up here in the north country what can some times happen is when there is a sever drop in temp and a lot of moisture the valve stem can get iced up and leak. This is very rare and I have only seen it for myself one time. This winhter I noticed the tire on the pick up was low and when I went to fill it up I heard an awful howell from the valve stem I had to air it up again the next day but after that it was fine. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Don Sent: Friday, February 23, 2007 2:29 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [BlindHandyMan] Don's valve stem leak (As heard on episode 189 of Blind Handyman show) Good deal, I will keep this info in mind in the future. I got home, and took the cap off the valve, and sprayed just a touch of WD 40, on the stem, flicked it a few times with my tiny screw driver. put air in the tire, it has worked fine. I guess a little dirt are something got in to the valve. Thanks for the info. regards Don ----- Original Message ----- From: NLG To: [email protected] <mailto:blindhandyman%40yahoogroups.com> Sent: Friday, February 23, 2007 11:49 AM Subject: [BlindHandyMan] Don's valve stem leak (As heard on episode 189 of Blind Handyman show) Hi Don, I heard on the Blind Handyman show that you were having a leak from the valve stem on your scooter. You can pick up a valve core removing tool at any auto parts store. The tool looks like a small screw driver with a slot in the business end. You put it down around the little thing you were flicking back and forth in side the valve stem which is called a valve stem core. Turn it counter clockwise to remove the core, being careful , if there is any pressure still in the tire, that it doesn't fly out and you loose it. Once you have it out, you can clean it and put it back in or take it to the auto parts store and get one like it and replace it. Hope this helps :) [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------ Yahoo!
