  • BMW K100RS Fuel Mixture adjustment screw?

    I have a 1991 BMW K100RS. It is currently running overly rich, and I have tried to find the screw that adjusts the fuel mixture but I haven't been able to find it. If anyone can point me in the right direction I would be most grateful.

  • Running a car audio amp in parallel mode, is it okay?

    I have a 4 channel car amp, and I plan to use it to run two 10" subs. People generally use two channels per sub in a bridge configuration. I do not want to do this, because by wiring the two amplifier channels in series, it doubles the output impedance of the amp. It also halves the output load on the amps from 4 ohms to 2 ohms, for a standard 4 ohm sub.

    The reason this is a problem is that it reduces the damping factor of the amp/speaker by four times. The damping factor is the ability for an amplifier to control the movement of the cone and reducing any unwanted movement. The higher the impedance of the speaker and the lower the output impedance of the amp, the better this figure will be. Only problem as that with a higher impedance load, the available power output goes down. Damping factor is simply the load impedance (speaker & connecting cables) divided by the output impedance of the amp, or its self impedance, generally anywhere between 0.1 and 0.01 ohms.

    What I actually want to do is wire the two channels of the amp in parallel, thereby halving the output impedance of the amp, and doubling the damping factor, and also the amp will be able to handle a load impedance that is half of what it is normally. Is it safe to wire the +ve terminals together and the -ve terminals together? To my knowledge most amps now are floating ground and one half of the amp has a reverse phase input and corresponding output, to make bridging easier. Are there any amps that I can wire the two channels in parallel?

  • Sore testicle, is this normal?

    Occasionally one of my testicles will become very sore, with the pain being at the top. If I have a wank then the pain goes away. Is this something to be concerned about or is it normal?

  • Is it safe to eat wild possums?

    I regularly go out and shoot possums. I was wondering if they are safe to eat provided they are cooked properly, as I have heard they carry bovine TB.

    Im pretty sure it would be alright, but would like to make sure before potentially putting myself at risk. I thought that rather than just shooting them and dumping them, I could eat some of what I shoot so its not a waste, and have heard that they taste quite good.

    All im asking really is if its safe to eat any wild possums or do they have to be bred in controlled conditions?
