Well, as long as the term is not used in a sexual manner, but as a descriptive, it should pass the censors. At least that is how one can use the common term for fornication (once) and still retain a PG rating for a movie in the good ole USA. Heaven forbid we should acknowledge our baser nature, but feel free to blow the feces out of anybody or thing. That is just good fun, where procreation is sacred. Except for those in religious orders, then it is fun, and a sin.

What did I see? The two of them running more or less together, with the bike hardly leaning in the corners. All he had to do is twist the throttle, lean his bike over until something solid was close to touching the ground, and he would have left Rollerman in his dust. I remember reading something similar. This guy had invented the 'road luge', which was the smallest possible way of supporting a human on four racing kart wheels. The road luge should be capable of braking and cornering well over 1G.

Re: [MBZ] OT: Motorcycle electrics
If the regulator tested out OK, don't replace it. Sounds like you may just need some new brushes and that's it. If there are springs involved with the brushes and you can replace them, do that, too. You can test the stator for continuity and grounds, too - might want to do that while you're at it. You may have a bad stator winding.

So I opened up the stator and find the brushes one of which seems very worn. With luck I'll head to the hardware store tomorrow and find a perfect replacement that'll fix everything. Otherwise I guess I'll order a new stator. It's been suggested by somebody I somewhat trust (he's got a really nice shop and seems to know what he's talking about, and he's not trying to sell me anything) that I replace the rectifier/regulator at the same time. Together they're about $250, the stator is $93 I think alone. I'm thinking that the rectifier/regulator is easy enough to replace I might wait but then I'm a bit paranoid that if the 25 year old diodes give up the ghost it might fry the new stator.

[MBZ] OT: Motorcycle electrics
Mike you get the award for explaining to me what the brushes actually do, thanks! The thing to remember when it comes to stator failure is that it lives on one end of the crankshaft on an air cooled engine that has no fan. This is an engine that redlines at 9,000 rpm. In otherwords it is subjected to fairly extreme heat. In discussing this with guys at the snowmobile shop stator failures are fairly common. Apparently the heat breaks 'em down and they short internally. -Curt Date: Sat, 18 Aug 2007 00:51:45 -0400 From: Michael C Boerner [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [MBZ] Subject: OT: Motorcycle electrics To: mercedes@okiebenz.com Message-ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Curt, Never seen the alternator on a motorcycle, but a stator should be a stator. It's just a stationary winding, connected to the battery (via a rectifier/diode in your case), that has current induced in it by the magnetic field produced by the energized (via brushes) rotor. Bad, short, worn, shorted, burnt or disconnected (from battery power) brushes mean that no energy gets to the rotor, which is then unable to induce current in the stator windings to charge the battery. Replacing brushes should fix it, unless you've fried, shorted or damaged the stator windings. I'd start with brushes. If that doesn't get it, you need better troubleshooting procedures and understanding of the charging system (alternator/generator/magneto) before throwing money at the problem. I'm sure a stator somewhere, sometime, has gone open, and that one has also shorted out, but I'm pretty sure either of those failures is a rarity. Brushes and bearings wear out, diodes fail (making some noise), and regulators burn up, but rotor and stator windings take some serious effort and abuse to kill.

I haveguns by proxy, and they are in the possession of our town's law enforcement officers. Some, such as Kleb, live where it might take law enforcement a hour to respond (he lives way out in the sticks). For me, and this is not a guess but from observation, there is normally less than 90 seconds between a 911 call on the radio to the officers being on-scene. (I have a scanner because of my job.) I live in a small town. At full throttle, the cops could go from end to end in about five minutes. I feel protected. We have very few drug crazed crazies out wandering the neighborhood -- in fact, 99% of them are on my case load at work! For those of you who feel you must pack heat to get thru the day, I have but two things to say: 1. Practice gun safety. 2. Freekin' move!

Re: [MBZ] handguns the law WOT - This ost is about guns - delete it if you don't want to read it.
Hi Tom, You saidsome of the population is afraid of handguns themselves. I blame it on the education system which is overwhelmingly liberal democrats who have created a huge anti-gun/anti-self protection agenda that wants everyone to depend on the govt for everything - even personal safety. Instead of teaching math and how to make aliving someday the students are told to become activists and assigned to write congress and ask that all guns be taken away. The gun debate has been taken into the 1st grade and 6 year olds are being told a gun is a monster - not the criminal behind it. Funny, my daughter in law felt that guns should be not allowed in her home - and made my son bring his Glock to store at my house (I know, -sigh- he wimped out). But when her next door neighbor was raped and robbed her children threatened and traumatized by what happened to their mother one evening she changed her mind. The next day my son was back for his Glock. But I hate to think that people need to be hurt to understand you cannot depend on others for your personal safety. Your experiment proves how incredibly absurd some people feel about guns. Remember when we used to play with cap guns? They're almost impossible to find. So many parents are afraid for their kids to even *see* a gun or hear the word! They have been made to fear an inanimate object rather than the criminal holding the weapon which somehow deserves understanding. Schools no longer teach the history of American Revolution when *guns* were used to rectify a terrible situation. It was more than taxation w/o representation - it was horrendous oppression. The media also never mention that guns are used between 300k and 2mm times a year to stop or prevent crimes - often the mere sight of a firearm makes criminals go elsewhere. I wonder how many non-gun owners would consider putting a large sign on their lawn saying, No Guns in this Home - we dial 911! rather that taking advantage of the gun owners by using the possibility their home is armed.

CCW holders are not gun yahoos looking for fast draw at high noon. to my mind, being armed is a matter of accepting responsibility for the safety of yourself and others. there will be no columbine or va tech around me. you will not rob the store i am shopping in. etc. here in georgia, we don't have any of this va tech or dc sniper nonsense. if some nutter takes out a firearm and starts firing at passing cars, someone just shoots him. go into a diner in rural georgia waving a pistol and making threats and demands -- your life expectancy would be about 8 seconds at that moment. it is my personal belief that any man who does not carry a gun is absolutely shirking his civic responsibilities. the welfare/nanny state and its supporters obviously have a far different view.

On a more serious note - even though we talk lightly about this stuff, non-gun people should understand how incredibly serious we take the responsibility of carrying a CW or using a gun to protect ourselves and possible hurt or kill someone. It's not something we take lightly. We don't look for an opportunity to shoot someone and typically we will back down until there's no place to go - or another person is in danger.

and just dead easy to work on. i could change the oil and filter in a few minutes without jacking up the car. i changed a radiator out in under an hour. the only job that i ever found at all difficult was the water pump. parts were also cheap and plentiful. somehow the MAP sensor would fail every year or two, but they were 50 bucks and a couple of minutes to install, so i just carried one in the glove box. you remember how the dash board would blink out fault codes?

You wrote:discovered those things are not so easy to shoot accurately as TV shows might suggest\\ Perhaps the greatest source of incorrect information about guns is TV and movies - 99% of what they show about guns is wrong to some degree. before she took the CCW course, my wife used to wonder, why dont they shoot the bad guy in the leg? once whe tried to hit the 3'x3' paper target from 25' with a handgun, she understood. It's never as easy as it looks on TV. Just *hitting* the bad guy takes some talent. Shooting for an arm or leg is laughable. Now she knows. But millions are just as ill informed.

I have never owned a gun, though mom and dad had a 22 rifle and pistol in the house and we had to take training on the rifle when I was a kid [they always thought the pistol was safely tucked away, but I used that one more than the rifle. I am considering buying one now, not for self protection, but sport. I have a few sets of throwing knives that I enjoy, but am getting to the point that I don't have enough cool weather for months here to throw them - easy to get out of practice. I am thinking about getting a pistol just to see if I could get any proficiency with it. My son bought a handgun when he was away from home for several tours with the USAF and didn't live in an area where he felt his wife was safe alone. He made sure she was trained on it [she was also military]. We went to a range and I discovered those things are not so easy to shoot accurately as TV shows might suggest. Might be fun to try. With FL law I could probably carry it, but I wouldn't. It would be locked in a lockbox until I got to the range. BillR Jacksonville FL -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Wonko the Sane Sent: Thursday, August 16, 2007 8:51 PM To: Mercedes Discussion List Subject: Re: [MBZ] Was Virtual Pillory: Come jeer at the idiot!, now handguns the law At the risk of being laughed at, I must again repeat my mantra that I spent almost half of my five-plus decades in urban areas and have never found myself in a situation where I'd have drawn a weapon if I'd have been carrying one. Closest I've come to that was when I was being teased by a street mime in NYC. He deserved to be shot not only for making fun of me (I was chewing gum) but because he was a mime. The only time I've armed myself was when I was stationed on Governors Island (NYC). If you arrived for the ferry boat after 11:00 pm, you had to wait a half hour instead of a quarter hour between ferry boats, parked just south of Wall Street. ... I kept a stout piece of oak and a hunting knife tucked under the driver's seat of my MBG, and that was only because I was sitting rather exposed (but with pants on) in a small convertible. My experience was that if approached by someone menacing, one had only to say f-off and the guy went away. It is only when one shows fear that one becomes a victim. I've shot weapons -- 45 handgun and 9 mm handgun and M-16 (all military-training related). This was done solely as part of my training: trying to hit the middle of the paper and earn a pretty blue ribbon w/ expert E on it. I've owned guns -- all inherited, none ever purchased -- and gladly left every one behind when I departed marriage #1. Now, if you feel more secure with a 9 mm tucked into your pants, then I guess that is your right. Personally, I'd be more afraid of shooting a testicle off during a sudden frenzy of scratching than I'd be of needing to get into a firefight over my lunch break. Let us stand for our closing prayer.

knutson has an old spanish double barrel 10 gauge. he figured it would be interesting to find out what it would be like to fire both shells at the same time. he describes the bruising as considerable. On 8/17/07, archer [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Back in the 1950s my father-in-law let me shoot a ten gauge that had been his fathers. I shot the top out of a small tree with it. My shoulder was sore for a week after that. If I remember correctly he said they had used it to hunt deer when he was a kid. Gerry --- - Original Message - From: Curt Raymond [EMAIL PROTECTED] I've read that back in the day intrepid frontersmen would shoot just in front of the nose of a squirrel with their .50 cal(or other large bore) muzzle loader. The squirrel would be killed by the shockwave as the bullet came by but no meat would be damaged. Dad and I tried it on several occasions but were never able to make it work. Of course we were limited in our shooting opportunities by limiting our selves to shots where we had an appropriate backstop. I'm sure the frontiersmen would shoot at squirrels up in a tree, devil may care where the bullet would land. No doubt similar effect is at work in the ER story. -Curt From: archer [EMAIL PROTECTED] Years ago a man came into the ER who was missing the bottom half of his scrotum but his testicles were in good shape, hanging by the vein, artery, and spermatic cord. His girlfriends husband had caught them in bed, he raised up on his knees when the door flew open, and her husband shot between his legs with a .45 cal pistol. A cop said the slug didn't hit his scrotum but that it had come close and that was enough to blow part of it off. It seemed unlikely at the time but since then I've seen what kind of damage a .45 slug can do. The doctor managed to sew what was left of the scrotum back around the testicles and in 24 hours the suture lines were healed.

Re: [MBZ] Dodge 600
They use one of several head hasket sealers. The sealer goes into the cooling system seals the breech in the head gasket. Here is one of several that actually work: http://www.rxauto.com/thermagasket-repair-kits.htm The key is that the leak has to be static, not growing. And if it is then there is a very good chance that the product will work. If the leak is growing then the patch will just blow back out. And very important to some list members - and no handgun is needed to install or use the product. Tom www.kegkits.com Original Message From: Kaleb C.

Re: [MBZ] Handguns and the law
Recoil is related to how heavy the gun is. I've shot a 10ga once or twice with no ill effects. That was on the trap range though and trap loads are ususally low power and lower recoil. Trap guns also tend to be heavy and thus have less recoil. I tried firing both barrels on a 12ga side by side once, damn near put me on my butt. -Curt Date: Sat, 18 Aug 2007 11:33:42 -0400 From: Gary Hurst [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [MBZ] Handguns and the law To: Mercedes Discussion List mercedes@okiebenz.com Message-ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 knutson has an old spanish double barrel 10 gauge. he figured it would be interesting to find out what it would be like to fire both shells at the same time. he describes the bruising as considerable. - Looking for a deal?

Re: [MBZ] OT: Motorcycle electrics
The stator has three wires. You should be able to measure a very, very small resistance between the three if your VM is sensitive enough and none should have any electrical connection to the stator body. Stator failures consist of an open winding, a shorted winding, (more common) a short to ground (the stator body) or an open lead. Of the four, only the third fourth can be detected with a ohm-meter because the winding resistance is too low. The rotor has two wires, same as above.

Re: [MBZ] OT: Motorcycle electrics
As a former (20+ years) standby/prime power generator and control guy, I left this as basic as I could. One of the things that often made us crazy was when specs for windings were published since the questionable accuracy of most end user's test equipment made it impossible for them to measure such a low value. As a result, you tell them the windings should have 0.2 ohms resistance and they hook up their Radio Shack VOM to it, there is no way they will ever see that value. After all, who carries a Wheatstone bridge around with them? Then it's the It must be bad! assumption, which is almost always wrong. They buy a new part, put it in, and it still doesn't work. Now you're the bad guy. Few people understand that meter accuracy is a percentage of the range, so when you're way down at the bottom of the range you're probably so far out of the percentage of accuracy it's not funny. For the most part, simple continuity tests on these sorts of windings will tell you whether or not they're good or bad. Want some real fun? Get out the megger! Whoopee!

I just changed the belt on a non bender engine. :-) It broke before the recommend time change, and I suspect when it was last changed, they put a nic in the belt when putting it on or something.

Re: [MBZ] OT Honda Timing Belt
I'm thinking it depends on what sort of auto experience you have. If you're used to dealing with Japanese cars, you should be used to dealing with timing belts. I've been well versed with them for about 12 years. You generally replace timing belts in the 60-100K mile range depending on the vehicle. If not, you can usually find good deals on cars with blown engines from people who didn't bother to replace them. I've done two in my wife's Subaru and I'm nearing time for the 4th in my Subee.

Re: [MBZ] OT Honda Timing Belt
Most say mileage, as the average driver will cover the mileage in about 5-6 years. Like any rubber bit, time effects them too. If I had a car with very lows miles and use, I'd change things based on time, as I do with my old porsche. If it's a valve bender engine, I'd kind of think around the 5-6 year mark or mileage, whatever comes frist. many ownder's manuals will give a both a time and mileage change date. Alwayus best to check the book.

(my 201 is a 16v, others may vary, I don't think all 201s have fairings on the control arms) When I want to raise the 201 fully, I put the back end on ramps and raise the front with the factory jack, putting the stands under the round rubber pads located inboard of the rocker panel jack tubes. I've only jacked up my 300SD to remove wheels, it's tall enough to let me do stuff like tranny fluid changes without raising the car. A previous owner put P215/75R14 tires on it, so it's taller than the average W116. Also gets 27mpg at 80mph, possibly aided by the larger rolling diameter of the tires.

some people also feel that they should not have to be driven from their homes by criminal thugs and their enablers in government.

And in a situation like that, 90 sec can be a lifetime. But if it gives you a feeling of security to know a officer will arrive quickly *after* you have recovered (if you recover) from whatever injury a criminal decided you deserve, great and were able to crawl to the phone and dial 911, sounds ideal. The officers will arrive, fill out some forms, ask lots of questions and say 1 of 2 things: we'll start looking for the guy, or - he's long gone and we have better things to do than chase shadows, forget about it if you can and pray it doesn't happen again. As far as moving - not everyone has that ability. Some people are too old or are unwilling/unable to relocate - some people have limited resources, etc. Also, there's no guarantee they'll move to a safer place. Perhaps a few hundred thousand people could move to your small town? Your suggestion about practicing gun safety is a excellent suggestion.

I haveguns by proxy, and they are in the possession of our town's law enforcement officers. Some, such as Kleb, live where it might take law enforcement a hour to respond (he lives way out in the sticks). For me, and this is not a guess but from observation, there is normally less than 90 seconds between a 911 call on the radio to the officers being on-scene. (I have a scanner because of my job.) I live in a small town. At full throttle, the cops could go from end to end in about five minutes. I feel protected. We have very few drug crazed crazies out wandering the neighborhood -- in fact, 99% of them are on my case load at work! For those of you who feel you must pack heat to get thru the day, I have but two things to say: 1. Practice gun safety. 2. Freekin' move! Whatever it is you do for a living, you can do it in a safer environment. D.

[MBZ] Now: Mobil 1 gun oil
Ooooh goody, here come 200 posts about what oil is best for your killing machine, I can hardly wait. Don't the National Rambo Association have any forums for this kind of stuff? Do we really have to have 2000+ posts about guns on a Mercedes forum, when MB don't even make firearms? I don't mind the odd off topic discussion but as always when the chatter comes around to guns in goes on and on and on and it is always the same discussion, just a different way around. I do not make a habit of jumping on people if posts are off topic but enough is enough. I know those of you who have a 44 lying next to the keyboard, in case someone invades your home, don't understand that there are people in the world who actually hate guns and find talk about these machines of death offensive. Yeah I spose you do know that and are just waiting your chance to cull the herd to make it stronger but hate breeds hate. I wouldn't mind a discussion of why the US has this culture of violence but that might not be what people want to get into and this may not be the place for that.
