The cardboard will insulate and throw off the reading. Just do it on the shady side of the house or at night.

Beyond what Carlos said, accurately measuring the temp of glass seems impossible to do with household equipment.

Ya got me. I'll have to refer you to the crackhead YT mechanic. He should have a few 57 minute videos loudly explaining it all.
-
You now have a computer tech and a mechanic telling you that just doesn't happen. Think about it, how do you get a voltage spike going down to 0 volts? If anything, there's a 'spike' when you re-connect the battery and nobody does that with a resistor.
-
Being that it maxes out at 1 and insulation R value goes way above that, it appears that the R value of your video is about 0. Mike, I don't know if this will answer your question, but it has a better chance: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R-value_(insulation)

Did he show it not clearing a code or you just believe it's true? I'm guessing the latter and if I'm wrong I'd appreciate a time stamp to it. The reader I use most often is a HF special and don't recall it not clearing a code that wasn't an active fault. Unless it's in the ABS or other system which it doesn't communicate with. One of my others is a higher end HF special that does ABS and SRS, and despite being a cheapo it clears all codes as well. If he specifically said that the cheapo won't erase SRS or ABS codes then yea, because it can't communicate with those modules. And back to your title; while he might make you smarter, he's also making you dumber. The worst kind of dumb, the one who thinks he's right because he got his information from "a guy that knows his shit." I'm not giving you shit for it, the vast majority of the people who watch him don't know better either. The final kicker for me was when I posted proof in his comment section and he erased it and banned me from commenting. I've corrected lots of people on YT and I'm pretty sure he's the only one that's ever banned me, he wanted to make sure that his followers stayed ignorant.

If you want to watch someone that actually knows his shit and does things right, check out FordTechMakuloco. He only works on Fords, generally just late model stuff, but it gives you an idea of what knowledge looks like. His videos tend to be on the long side, but it's tons of info with very little wasted time. There's a few others that do general repair vids, but no names come to mind. Anyone who talks like the bonehead above is probably not worth listening to, unless you find him entertaining, but back up anything he says with a more reliable source. I skimmed through this video and what he says about discharging a car's system too fast without using the resistor I'm 99.99% sure is bullshit. What he suggests doing will get the job done and causes no harm, it's just a retarded extra thing to do.

ThEy'Ll BlOw YoUr EnGiNe Up!

There was one about curing a catalytic converter efficiency code, P0420. He did his 'magic', ran the engine for a little while and-- "The engine light didn't come back on so my trick works!" It can sometimes take hundreds of miles for the light to come on, and it'll never come on within minutes even with no cat. A minor offense, but it's wrong. There's been worse, but I haven't watched his stuff in so long I don't remember them. Sometimes it's stuff that's not necessarily outright wrong, just retarded, like how to do a 57 point diagnostic inspection to find a misfire that a scanner would reveal in seconds.
-
If he does he'd give only the wrong reasons for being anti.
-
If you want to learn shit, and be relatively sure that you're learning correct shit, don't follow him.
-
I can't stand that fucking guy, and he's often wrong giving shitty advice. He's the only person on YouTube that's banned me from his channel for challenging his retardation being peddled as correct information. I don't recall an instance where my scanner didn't clear a code without there being a fault. If there's a fault then of course it'll appear as tho the scanner didn't clear it since the fault code will pop right back up.

And probably fixing the stripped spark plug hole, but it'll hold up to mild pressure if you can refrain from getting on it.....so must repair plug hole. Actually, a little high temp loctite would probably do for now. I might just do about half the threads toward the top so it's not too big of a bitch to get out for the proper repair. Hmmm, a spritz of dry lube or something else on the plug should help at removal time, never had a reason to try that. Maybe some of that moly paste thoroughly rubbed in with the excess removed. You can probably clean out the jets without carb removal so you don't have to mess with the boots, I don't remember how close they are to the case. Rotating them will help, if there's room. The bowls probably won't re-seal without new gaskets, but it'll just be a small amount that dribbles. Some Permatex Aviation Sealant, I think they've changed the name, will probably take care of it. A little alcohol will take it all off if you decide to do it right later. If the boots come off without destruction you could soak them in that oil that rejuvenates them (wintergreen oil?) And make sure the case has oil, I think it wasn't reading on the stick.

I think I'd enjoy the RD350 a fair bit, but probably only around town.
-
I'd get it running and put a few miles on it. Partly to decide if you want it which may change the course of restoration, but also to know that it runs and shifts well and doesn't leak which will dictate what you do with the engine.

Green bell peppers versus red or yellow bell peppers

No. They generally came off and got eaten as with most of the garden stuff. -

I've grown different colors of bells and don't recall having a green turn red or yellow, did they just not sit long enough? -
That's not nearly as bad as I expected.

You meat the cutest chicks on a Honda.

It tastes ok, but it's otherwise useless.

200 seems so far fetched to me, but I don't know these machines. Is it possible to hit anywhere near 200? Is it KPH perhaps?
-
Trippy how the camera angle, and maybe because of the curved spokes, makes the center look like it's off-set towards the right.

When the unit decides that it's needed.

Is it a rubber ring that slips onto the wheel or do you do you have to replace the whole wheel? Reason 857 the cheapo HF bandsaw is superior, plain steel wheels.

Poida and I posted simultaneously. His is better.
