Q:hello I am having trouble inflating my back wheel tube. so i guess i will just tell you what happened. well i came back from the bike shop with a presta valve adapter and i put it on my tube. it fills up too near full psi but just after a ride around the block it is flat. i have no idea why. please help me! also its a mavic tube 700 x 23, vittoria rubino pro 700 x 23 tire, and a vuelta xrp 17 deep v back wheel. thanks!

OK, okorder /

Q:i have been having these chest pains and i went to the doc. they did an ekg, blood test for enzymes and a echo. Well today i went back for the results of the echo and was told that i had a leaky valve but it was nothing to worry about and that there are just trace amounts of valve regurgitation. Im only 19 and i have no other history of heart problems or diseases should i be worried...they said i didn't need any anti biotics or anything and that it wouldn't kill me just to watch for it as i age into my latter years of life 50-70, but im still kinda worried..anyone else have this? im also pregnant and im concerned as to how this will affect my pregnancy, labor and delivery????

i had a heart valve plomble when i was a baby i know I'm mother and a wife after i had my son they fix my valve and i doing real good know have a other doctor check it out

Q:I got new sprinkler valves put in (Rainbird anti-siphon kind). Every time a valve shuts off, it makes a loud squeak, kind of like plastic rubbing (NOT a bang like water hammering). Is this normal and will it go away? If not, what could be the problem? This is annoying because the sound can be heard in the house as it echoes through the pipes.

Q:I started out playing trombone in middle school, then switched to euphonium as my main instrument. (I still play trombone for marching and jazz band, but I'm a little better at euphonium.) That being said, should I get rotary valve trombone or the one with axial flow? I only have a student trombone right now... And I have a professional Besson euphonium.

We had one that was hard to dial. Thought I broke the tip of my finger off! That was the day of the 5 digit phone number.

Q:Is there a more technically correct name for a valve that slowly opens, allowing increased pressure in a water line without blowing the end off?

I've always known them to be simply called motorized valves, but they aren't specifically made to prevent instantaneous pressure build up. They are usually installed as a convenience type of thing and in lieu of solenoid valve which WOULD be an almost immediate full pressure situation, but any valve other than a solenoid activated one will allow for slow build up of pressure. A motorized valve just lets you do it automatically and you don't have to be right at the valve location to open it. Al

Q:The diablo tunner says you can cut off your EGR valve, only if your going to take it off. What effect will this have on the car?

The EGR valve or Exhaust gas Recirculation valve is located on the exhaust equipment. those often get hung up with rust and different exhaust deposits. The motor vehicle may be under production facility guarantee being basically 3 years old. i might verify with a broker to work out if the motor vehicle and/or section remains under guarantee. A defective EGR valve will reason the workstation to make the incorrect settings to the gas and air blend inflicting the engine to run too rich or too lean. Its no longer too unfavourable interior the quick term, yet your gas mielage will go through, and you will be able to fail a state inspection so get it repaired before then.

Q:I was wondering if anyone knew how important tire valve stem caps were in maintaining inflation pressure in auto tires? I noticed one of my tires losing air slowly (from 30 psi to 21 psi in about a week) and this tire (unlike the other three) also had a missing tire valve stem cap. I've just replaced it, and was wondering if a missing valve stem cap caused faster loss of tire pressure.

Q:its rated 120 VAC/26VA (3 prongs, one for ground) . I also have a horizontal level switch for liquid with rating 120 VAC/0.28 A (the switch will connect when the water level reach the target) normally open.How can I wire them so that when the level reached the valve will close and water will not flow into the tank? The switch is inside the tank and the valve connecting the pipe for feed water. Thanks

considering your valve and turn is contained in the tank, why do no longer you in simple terms use a flow-activated valve and eliminate the electrical powered conclusion entirely? Why do you think of they use flow-valves in lavatories? because of the fact they do no longer consume any electrical energy and that they are undemanding units. considering you're no longer controlling a pump, why no longer in basic terms shop it undemanding?

Q:im looking at buying a 1995 ford probe, but it has a busted valve in the head, does anyone know how much it would cost to have fixed?

When you say busted valve, do you mean a bent valve, or a broken valve? if you meant broken valve, i guarantee you my friend, that car is something that you do NOT want to invest your money into. a broken valve can cause and may have already caused all sorts of further damage. this can include exhaust fumes leaking into the cooling system and over-heating the engine, engine cylinder or gasket leaks causing oil to mix with coolant, broken timing belt, blown head gasket, and the list goes on. i HIGHLY recommend you stay clear of a broken valve. if you meant bent valve, this is generally not as serious, but is something to be very cautious of. the best way to check for a bent valve is to have a compression check done. a mechanic can do this, or you can do it yourself if you buy a compression checker. if the valve is indeed bent, the first thing you will want to find out is WHY it got bent. generally this happens because the timing belt slips or the valve has a leak from being stuck open. if this is the case, you might be looking at coughing up $300, maybe a little more, maybe a little less. but before dumping your money on fixing a bent valve, you want to get a professional inspection and make sure that this bent valve didn't cause damage to anything else. i hope this will help you with your question and with your decision on buying or not buying the car. good luck!

Q:IT USUALLY TAKES 2 SECONDS TO START THE MOTOR. NOW, IT TAKES OVER 40 SECONDS AT 7 AM. IT ALMOST KILL THE BATTERY. IF YOU PARK FOR 1 HOUR, 2ND START TAKES 10 SECONDS. IS THIS HAPPENING BECAUSE THE VALVES NEEDS ADJUSTING? HOW AND WHAT IS THE EASY WAY OF VALVES TUNE-UP?

Dear god I wouldn't touch the valves lol. Start with spark plugs. It should have 1-3 plugs. After plugs, check distributor. After that check carburetor. Plugs/dist are common problems with running/starting issues.
