  1. Mike, Walgreen model# WGNBPW Ver. A has been very consistent for me. The cuff is fully adjustable.

     

     

    fwiw Mike, I stopped eating junk food a long time ago. That seemed to make the biggest differance you see,

    I have always avoided sodium and don't drink anymore. Lost 63lbs.

  2. Decades ago, Honda claimed to always have parts. Said they keep their die-sets and molds.

    The Tsunami in Japan real fukd that up. I don't buy enough parts to confirm todays supply.

    Think I will order one just in case.

    I'm wondering if I should buy one to have just in case. 

     

     

    I have been thinking the same thing for quite awhile now.

    Time to search for a part# ? IIRC, several Hondas used that same valve.

    Even the SuperHawk

  4. True, you can also stop the leak, but you must also block the vacuum hose to the diaphragm or it will suck excess fuel on that cyl port making it run rich.

    Desperate move but it would get you home without taking it apart. 

     

    My #2 98XX ran rich and also leaked fuel so I am not surprised to hear Toms XX ran better.

    Man the sounds rough.  😃

    It was. The pizza wan't that good. Took extra beer just to get it down. Misery.

     

    Remembered Jeff rode about 15 miles to get me some new plugs since we had the time.

    I think it lost power. The plugs were Autolite. (where's that poke poke button?)

  6. Happened to my 98 in Wa. with Jeff years ago.

     

    Cracked diaphragm. Easy to replace but was difficult to get In Winthrop Wa.

    Made me eat pizza and drink beer for two days waiting for the part.

    Oh, and don't mount it where the old one is unless you don't care to see it while sitting at the helm.  Looking through the windshield it was nearly impossible to see through sun glare.  Tho the new one is probably a shitload more visible than the old LCD screen so it might be ok.

     

    Oscar, I plan to use both in the boat. The seat in the back will get the best view.

    I, of course will be driving the boat from the front seat with the electric trolling motor.

     

    The old Wide eye will give me the depth info and a possible fish school view.

    This plan resembles the layout thought of my friends bass boat.

    Anyway you look at it, the fish are doomed.

  8. I know, it's not a trolling motor. The deal just showed up and it's the right thing to do.

     

     

    Used Hummingbird 899SI. 

     

    In the picture you can see the old Hummingbird "Wide Eye" below.

    The screen looks like a 1980's calculator.

    Big differance. The 899 also has side view. 

     

    I used a couple 12vdc ps to play with them on the desk.

    The fish should be afraid. Very afraid.

  9. The reduction of carbs and sugar has made a 63lb differance in me in 4 years.

    Diabetes forced the issue. I'm still fat though. Would like to lose 20 more.

     

    I wasn't even trying. No real exercise. I even posted about this rapid wieght loss awhile back.

    I swam a year ago and hope to return. Swimming made me feel the best.

  10. Can the disc play a part in this? Not a word of the condition of the disc.

    Nothing showing on the disc ? 

    Perhaps the piston to bore clearance is more than it should be and lets the piston rock for a microsecond all crooked before it settles?

    That is the backing plate showing the anomaly's.
