mobility scooter tire flat
  • Not a professional by any means...

    Looks like a tubeless tire, most any auto parts stores will carry the valvestems for them. There's a type that is all rubber and will pop in, and there's a type that tighten on the wheel with a nut and gasket(s).

    The only reluctance I'd have putting a tube in it would be makeing sure there are no sharp edges anywhere (like the old valve stem hole) that would pop it.

    Idk how the general mentality is where you're located, but if you walked into most tire shops with the wheel in hand they'd probably just put valve stem in it and send you on your way. I'm sure their insurance says they cant touch things like that with a 10' pole, so keep that in mind if you get pushback. Franchise places may turn you away. A manager on a good day would probably put one in and say you didn't have it done here.

  • Most American headline
  • Lmao your first hot take is hilarious though. "Why do Americans always do this shit! Oh not American, never mind, sorry for being a cunt."

    Maybe realize were all humans first?

  • Senate GOP eyes Medicare cuts to pay for Trump bill
  • They'd have to bank on boomers being too far gone in the compenticy department to realize they are personally getting fucked to move forward with this shit. I don't believe that's the case, the mental house of cards they've built has a foundation of "how does it effect me". If the facade can be punctured to show yes, it effects you too, both major political parties are going to have a tough time on their hands.

  • So it begins...
  • That's a juicy distraction though. What's that old quote, believe half of what you see any nothing that you hear.

    Man I think we've all gone insane. We've always delt with disinformation and lying to one another as a species, but we might be hitting a point where there's no where to get away from this shit.

    What a strange new world.

  • It's a pin job
  • You put it so eloquently, thank you. We sadly haven't even been able to find our collective pitchforks yet...

    P.S. I think you accidentally put a "doesn't" in the last line of "The reality of it is:"

  • '99 Corolla engine code P0125
  • Late to the party but if it is a vacuum leak you can use some kind of flammable aerosol to find it. Quick little spurts around the throttle body and vacuum lines with the motor running and you'll hear the idle increase if it gets sucked into the engine and you'll identify where the leak is.

    It sounds like a sensor to me though. Don't know which, but if it runs okay without smoke for a while after clearing codes then starts smoking after a drive and throws the MIL it sounds like it's fine when the computer is in open loop using predefined fuel mixtures, but when it goes into closed loop it starts dumping more fuel into the engine than is needed. If that's the case and the computer is forcing a rich condition you'll wanna get it figured out before the catalytic converter plugs and needs to be replaced.

    If your familiar with motorcycles are you familiar with reading spark plugs? Probably worth pulling a few to try and see if the engine is experiencing a rich or lean condition.
