I tried the electric drill trick and it worked! She's chugging away now and running everything I hook to it. Amazing how much juice a common hair dryer uses. I hooked up the wife's 1800W dryer just to see what would happen...shut down immediately.

My HF generator has about 20 hours off ocassional use on it now. It cranks up better than it ever has (5-10 pulls) but now has stopped generating any power. Anything I can check or should I just buy another?

SS, it doesn't "work." That is the problem. Testing "good" on their machine is different than "working." The question is how to kill the thing so that it does not test "good."

Advance. They put it on charger then on their little analyzer. Gives a printout saying "good battery". I think they are just measuring a surface charge. Refuse to replace until black box says "bad battery."

Tests good at store but won't hold charge more than 2-3 days. Tried in 2 different vehicles to eliminate electrical drain possibility.

How can I permanently kill a car battery? Dumped electrolyte and replaced with baking soda solution. Darn thing still took a charge! Same result with salt water and plain water. What next?

I bought one on impulse last year. HF was having a "tent" sale in the parking lot and had them at $79. Surprisingly, the clerk let me use a 20% off coupon also, so it made it irresistible. I put in a new NGK plug and changed out the fuel line as recommended, but mine still takes 10-20 pulls to...

The wife comes home late at night and quietly opens the door to her bedroom. From under the blanket she sees four legs instead of two. She reaches for a baseball bat and starts hitting the blanket as hard as she can. Leaving the covered bodies groaning, she goes to the kitchen to have a...

On a bitterly cold winter’s morning a husband and wife in Minneapolis were listening to the radio during breakfast. They heard the announcer say, "We are going to have 8 to 10 inches of snow today. You must park your car on the even-numbered side of the street, so the now plows can get through."...

Not pertinent to this particular problem, but showing how hard it is to protect something from theft, this happened near where I live. A local physician living in a gated community, guarded 24/7 by hired personnel, had a large, top-of-the-line gun safe installed in his "man cave" to house his...

It's a romantic full moon, when Pedro said, "Hey, mamacita, let's do Weeweechu." Oh no, not now, let's look at the moon!" said Rosita. Oh, c'mon baby, let's you and I do Weeweechu. I love you and it's the perfect time," Pedro begged. "But I wanna just hold your hand and watch the moon."...

Two hillbillies were sitting around the campfire and one asked the other, "if I snuck into your trailer and made love to your wife and she had my baby, would that make us kin?" The other hillbilly squinted his eyes real tight in deep thought for moment and then finally said, "no, I don't think...

A friend sent me this one: Holiday Time - Be Careful Driving With the holidays upon us I would like to share a personal experience with my family & friends about drinking and driving. As you may know some of us have been known to have brushes with the authorities from time to time on the way...

One day a man decided to retire… He booked himself on a Caribbean cruise and proceeded to have the time of his life; that is, until the ship sank. He soon found himself on an island with no other people, no supplies, nothing, only bananas and coconuts. After about four months, he is lying on...

Have four of them and love'em! You can make better coffee, but only with a lot more effort. We find the coffee to be way above average and not that expensive considering there is no waste. You only make what you drink. The variety of coffee available in KCups is astounding. The best value is the...
