Re: [MBZ] ADMIN message from the owner

[Allan Streib via Mercedes]

It's political because people are getting very hurt economically by
layoffs and losing businesses, watching their retirement savings
evaporate, wondering if they are going to lose their house, and all the
while and listening to hysterical reporting and statements by people who
have no medical or epidemiological training and don't seem to have any
perspective.

Trader Joe's sells some pretty awesome macadamia and almond milk. Can't
tell it from half and half with a fraction of the calories.

Re: [MBZ] OT well that fixed an annoyance

[Allan Streib via Mercedes]

I did the same, bought a 2-stroke Lawn Boy professional push mower about 2001 
or so, cost a lot at the time but still running strong today. No drive 
mechanism, but cast aluminum deck so it's light enough that it's easy to push 
without it.

With strictly MB only topics the list will die.  Politics is such a hot

It is just best to keep the harmony and keep it off the list.

is NOT a MB only talk list, never has been.  Due to the constant

for those sorts of conversations.  We used to have a list like that, 
there was no traffic so I deleted it.  Okietalk is in NO WAY intended to

Stihl has it on the 500.  The big selling point, or at least the
big talk-about point, is the lighting fast throttle response.  Not
quite as much power as the 750 it is supposed to replace.

Like I really care about throttle response on my saw.

No mention of decreased fuel consumption, that I have seen.
Noticeable price difference.  I imagine it will "trickle down" in
time.

Re: [MBZ] OT well that fixed an annoyance

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

My weed wacker doesn’t have a shutoff valve, but since it’s a 40:1 mix I don’t 
worry if I don’t run it completely out. My Honda lawn mower has a shutoff valve 
and I always turn it off and run it until it quits.

Remember, too, that we cut grass here year ‘round, which eliminates a lot of 
the issues of bad gas and varnished carbs. If it happens it’s usually in the 
winter, as I only have to cut grass maybe once a month from November to March.

Re: [MBZ] OT: Weekly market trip

[Clay via Mercedes]

I fear I may be developing a resistance to lactose.  Used to gobble down a bowl 
of cereal for breakfast, but to be more healthful, I changed to bacon, eggs, 
fruits, and toast, then just to a cafe a lait and bit of banana or small knosh. 
 Used to also have a reasonable bowl of ice cream once or twice a week, but 
dropped that because of SWMBA and keto idiocy.

Now, if I have a splash too much cream in the coffee or grilled cheese 
sandwich, maybe tiny bowl of ice cream or other dairy or a day, and bloating 
sets in with grumbles in the gut.  No explosive boweling, probably the gut 
biome has been changed to no longer have lactose bugs

Re: [MBZ] OT: Tampa COVID cases after spring break

[Greg Fiorentino via Mercedes]

FWIW I agree with Dimitri. As long as a post is marked as OT, everyone is free 
to employ the delete key. We are all wy past kindergarten. I do not find 
Curley's OR Andrew's posts offensive, even if I often disagree.

The USA would be a better place if we all were more tolerant of others' 
political views. When a significant portion of the population considers 
something important, we all should respect that position. Kinda hard sometimes, 
when the points of view are opposed, like the 2 sides on abortion. Yet there 
must be compromise!

Re: [MBZ] OT well that fixed an annoyance

[Scott Ritchey via Mercedes]

Float-bowl carbs (typical on 4-cycle engines like mowers, edgers, snow blowers, 
etc.) can usually be "fixed" by dropping the float bowl and reaming gum and 
corrosion from the main jet (I usually unscrew the jet to clean it).  But the 
dual-diaphragm carbs on small 2-cycle motors (chain saws, leaf blowers, weed 
whackers, etc.) aren't worth fixing; just replace with new.

Re: [MBZ] OT well that fixed an annoyance

[Scott Ritchey via Mercedes]

In my experience most small engine problems are caused by old gas in the tank 
and carb (assuming nothing obvious like broken fuel lines or clogged filters).  
There are rebuild kits but I usually find new (same brand) carbs on eBay very 
cheap (like $20) that work well.

Re: [MBZ] OT: Tampa COVID cases after spring break

[Max Dillon via Mercedes]

So you noticed it too, but won't apply the same standard?

"Gov. Ron DeSantis has refused to shut down the beaches to discourage spring 
breakers from congregating, instead forcing local governments to make the call. 
"

I find this political comment offensive. I guess I'm not at important as Jaime. 
Andrew won't be moderated, but Curly has been. I say double standard.

Notice that Curly immediately apologized. No apologies from Andrew yet.

Re: [MBZ] OT well that fixed an annoyance

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

Considering what it costs to do on a car now, you would think they would have 
figured it out. Co-worker just retrofitted an old Chevy pickup truck with a 
Holley TBI system, and it was pretty reasonable compared to buying a new carb. 
When you factor in the flexibility it gives him and the ability to get feedback 
and control, it’s money well spent, I thought.

That being said, I’m still amazed that my Honda walk behind mower I bought new 
in 2013 still starts on the first pull every time. That’s something majikal.

I’m not going to debate this in the court of public opinion. There was nothing 
“political” in the post, or for that matter, the article, if someone chose to 
read it. Yes, there was a comment at the end of the article about Florida’s 
reaction to the pandemic, but that is not political in any way, it’s merely 
opinion. If that were the yardstick by which we measured posts here, the list 
would be dead.

No one was forced to read the article. The post here had no political content.

Knock it off, both of you. This is not going to become the kindergarten

 Really? I see a pretty factual, if somewhat pointless, little article. I don't

The "Lets all join the NRA" think Curly got moderated for was much more opinion

itself.

Re: [MBZ] 1959 220S Ponton on BAT

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

Engine compartment on these was always black, I believe. That’s why it’s tough 
to tell the color change if it was done well, and this one appeared to be. I 
like the current colour myself.

Re: [MBZ] Mercedes E320 Wagon, Low Miles, Good Cond., Seats 7

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

Nice example of the S210 wagon, and the desired one since it’s a facelift 
model. It’s got another 200k left in it if well cared for. The price is a 
little optimistic, but with the current market being what it is I would say 
offer $3k and see what comes back if you check it out and are happy with it.

Yes, it has SLS as all Mercedes wagons do, but that would be the least of my 
worries with this car. The SLS systems are well proven and for the most part 
pretty bulletproof. For that matter, most are abused in that people rarely 
change the fluid or screen/filter in them and they still hang in there.

This is a “gas and go” car. Maintenance is stupid easy and minimal and it’s 
easy to work on. One of the last cars that can be well DIY’ed as far as 
repairs, in my opinion. I’ve got a sedan and a wagon in the fleet, and both 
perform admirably with little to no maintenance other than regularly scheduled 
stuff.

Only thing I would do to this car would be wash/wax it and get an original 
Becker back in the dash so the steering wheel controls function properly.

Re: [MBZ] 1998 Mercedes benz SL500 Hard top convertible

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

Could be any number of things. Something a competent mechanic would check out 
in a PPI. Could just need plugs, might have a marginal coil pack or failing 
plug wire. Misfires and the source of them should show up in the DAS. None of 
these are dealbreakers.

Hydraulics. Always check them. If they don’t work or are wonky, MAJOR discount 
or run away. This may be the reason for the price.

Looks nice for the miles, it’s a good model year (anything after 96 is OK). 
Where is the tow hook cover? (You can get replacements) What do the seats look 
like, as they’re noticeably absent in the pictures. Where is the hard top? Is 
the soft top in good condition? Why is the antenna up? Nice that they have the 
wind guard, as many of these disappear over the years, and it makes a 
significant difference when driving the car with the top down. Looks like 
someone put aftermarket projector headlights on it, as those don’t look like 
the OE xenons, I think. These aren’t common and were an option, so if they are 
OE that adds value, too, as the OE versions had self-leveling, too.

I have to believe that the price must reflect something they’re not disclosing. 
I’m not suggesting they’re misrepresenting the car, as it looks pretty nice, 
but the price is a bit low for the year, miles and condition based on the 
pictures.

If it’s something you like it it's worth checking out with a PPI if you go 
farther. Just realize that mileage in the mid to upper teens is what you’ll get 
out of it. Maybe into the low 20s on drives to the nuke plant if you keep your 
foot out of it, which will be difficult.

Re: [MBZ] Gas ripoff

Im taking about in Tulsa, were we have 2 refineries. In OKC I don’t think they 
even have any refineries down there but OK don probably knows. It’s the fact 
that Quik Trip has a store on every corner just about so all other stores price 
at whatever they are pricing at. They do not have that problem in OKC, more

Re: [MBZ] Gas ripoff

[Rick Knoble via Mercedes]

Things will be very ugly in a few weeks if things do not return to some 
semblance of normal. Refineries have only got so much storage before they have 
to cease production. Refining of petroleum can only be skewed towards the 
production of diesel fuel by a few percent.  Which means no diesel, which means 
no trucking. Which means no medical supplies, no food, etc.

 I think the weird knobs are there to ensure you need to buy new equipment more

Yup.  Ironic that by adjusting them you _decreased_ the emissions
- the very thing those goofy caps were supposed to insure, yet you
had to bypass or remove them

What do you agree to when you "get it" in google?
In no human lifespan can you mine down into their BS far enough to figure
out what you are agreeing to.

Re: [MBZ] OT: Opening Day

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

Lot of people down here are probably upset about this as well. The Yankees have 
a big following amongst the locals and fill the little stadium (Legends Field) 
that’s next door to MB of Tampa on a regular basis during spring training. 
Their training facility is just down the block. I drive by it whenever I go to 
the dealer to get parts, and it amazes me how many people sit out by the gates 
in lawn chairs all day long during spring training so they can see the players 
come and go.
