    The local newspaper I subscribe to is the Lock Haven Express known just as "THE EXPRESS." Drove down the lane this afternoon to the mail box and got my mail. Gave my wife the first section and took the back section to do the crossword puzzles. We switched sections and I scanned the first...

    Engine Suddenly revved and speed dropped, then recovered

    Putting the cable in compression rather than tension might cause it to look like that. If something banged against the end. A real mystery to me as to why it happened.

    I had a Pontiac Tempest wagon back in the '60s with a transaxle, never any handling problems. The extra weight on the rears helped in the winter too.

Had a buddy who was a mechanic and local dirt...

    Live well pumps

    I believe the red and black one is a bilge pump and the red and white one is your live well pump. The red and white one is a $25 pump, no use trying to rebuild it. The red and black one if it is the bilge pump is about 4 times that.

    Be glad you didn't come. Final crowd number was three quarters of a home football game but traffic control was less than a women's basketball game. Traffic was at a standstill all over town. ICE protesters talked early in the week to have demonstrations and block traffic. They didn't have to...

    Wondering if I can add power trim to my 82 mercury

    If my memory serves me right that there is no head gasket or removable head on those old Mercs. That leak is from the cylinder block cover which is basically a water jacket. If just a few drops now and then I would leave it alone as removing the cover to replace the cover gasket on a motor...
