Kawasaki 12.5 hp won't start after changing crankcase cvr gasket
Comments (10)I was out of town a couple of days and haven't been able to respond. Thanks for your response. I tried to be very careful not to turn or move anything. I did not check the timing marks when I put the cover back on, I only focused on getting the plastic governor gear meshed properly. I don't even know where the timing marks are. Considering that it won't even try to start, gets a good spark, and after pulling the cord numerous times gas will be visible in the carb cover around the choke plate, along with an occasional backfire, it does sound like the timing is off. Do you have any advice on setting the timing or maybe a website that might help? Obviously, I'm not an expert mechanic and hate to remove the engine again, but it looks like that's where I'm headed. Thanks again....See MoreBougainvillea won't bloom like it did last year or the year befor
Comments (3)I have had a huge Bougie in a large pot for many years. It too is against a south facing wall. It gets watered almost every day and frequently with liquid fertilizer that comes out with the hose water. It is in bloom all the time.... usually all 12 months. It has developed a close relationship with the Datura that has taken up residence in the same pot....See More4 year old won't potty train
Comments (5)Hi Rynn01: A few tips I read & tried on my kid. She was potty-trained when she was 3 1/2 months old. Children are different from each other, some are potty-trained much earlier, like an orphan coming from China, was potty trained at 1-year old. That orphan is now a great gymnast .. she's fearless. Some kids are more timid and need more positive encouragement. Lecturing and forcing kids doesn't work. What worked for my kid was some tiny books, which I put in a basket next to her potty. She was too busy reading those books ... so it's NOT a forced procedure. She became a great reader later, now is in the gifted program in middle school. Some other tips that worked for other parents: Buy some cheap toys, wrap it up in tiny packages, and your kid can only open if he/she went potty. When I rewarded my kid with M&M candies, it was so much easier. Positive psychology works better than harsh discipline. My sister is a strict & harsh mother... no amount of yelling and forcing could make her 4-years old go potty. Finally she let him chooses some nice undies with cartoon characters that he likes. He didn't want to dirty his fav. cartoon characters, so he was motivated to use the potty. No one can make anyone else do anything .. it's best to have a "payback", or make it enjoyable, so the kid will unconsciously do that herself/himself, rather than being a "second-rated" option. I hope that helps. I'm in mid 50's, and my Mom had 13 children ... we were all potty-trained at 2, since that was the only choice we had....See MoreWhat do you suggest as gift for 7-year-old boy that's about $12?
Comments (16)My great nephew loves to draw, and he's very good. Cranyons, colored pencils, markers, craft paper. Another great nephew loves board games. I think he and I played 50 games of Trouble in a 2 day period. He loved it. I loved it. I think any game that has you giving kids your time and attention they will love. I have also given them light up things to put on the handlebars of their bikes, ugh, don't know what they are called. You slide them onto the two ends of the handbars. For example http://www.ebay.com/itm/Bicycle-LED-Fiber-Optic-Handlebar-Light-Streamers-Light-Up-Your-Handlebars-/290731981877 Here's a site with all sorts of light up stuff for kids http://coolglow.com/~/?feature=LED+Light-Up&gclid=Cj0KEQiAp4yjBRCE_enjmpug944BEiQATCpLvSTrRmUtPzO3ZFfP2fb20WIS3V5sV8V1BspF59ARy1waAlQ-8P8HAQ#...See Moreanita9
