Somebody back when put it simplest-
Fuel, Spark, Air.
It is evident that the bigger the engine, the more parts involved, and not everybody has listed which engine they are specializing in.
That tool, written with your data, is listed there on the screen to the left. If I find myself in an 80 cc topic, I can simply "hands in the air, back away from the vehicle"......
sometimes i just know when a new member comes along who hasn't at least politely glanced at the faq and our rules. it gets personal, my mission statement clearly explains why, no more rambling about that, either.
My proposal is this: There are certain members (
and I definitely am NOT qualified) who we could all agree are
MASTER MECHANICS. Not only in the know how, but in the METHOD of dispersal of information, answering questions.....
The volunteers and forum could give this designation to qualified members, and instead of the engine size, their designation would be "expert" or whatever brand is chosen.
The main task of these motor experts is to GRADE THE ADVISE in a topic. They could copy/paste THE BEST ANSWERS and stack them all in the Tech Topic under "Carburator screws, best advise/worst advise"
Air Filters "best/worst"
Spark Plugs "best/worst" etc. etc.
Not delete stuff, but
they could put 1 star or 4 stars on the 10 threads that involve "Carburator screw", one is deemed BEST, one is WORST, and all the other threads sit in middling limbo.
It should be FUN, because the WORST advise could be worn as a trophy, and if somebody gets recognized for repeatedly giving the best advise, we would be well on the way to writing an on-line how to manual.
The algorithm is
only good if the master mechanics/experts agree to VOTE, since voting in polls is usually ignored. But this voting is limited to the small group of qualified advisors.....
