Well the best way to put out a carburetor fire is to just keep cranking the engine! Well that is what every pilot is trained to do on piston powered light aviation aircraft. That is what I do on carburetor equipped car's too! Really the timing needs to be checked if you have carb fire!

Yes I too cringe when I see some of these knuckleheads over driving or over volting the snot out of transistor and tube amplifiers.

I am not a believer in padding an amp's input to allow the use of a more powerful radio! Turn the radio's power down permanently to match the drive needed by the amplifier. The alternative is to get a bigger amp that needs more input drive.

You will never ever see me put more power in per device than what the manufactures data sheet recommends! Same thing applies for voltage and biasing!

I once saw a child in diapers chewing on a lead tire weight! I imagine these guys where those kids! LOL

There was nothing wrong with the Jackson ball drive other than it needed some fresh thick tacky grease applied. Some things need a light oil some need a thick tacky grease. Now what you need. I did laugh at his cosmoline joke. I am allergic to man made sulfur compounds especially sulfites! The sulfur compounds used in cosmoline and gear lube give me an allergic reaction as does sulfites used int he USA to preserve and kill fermentation in wines. You also see cheap cutting fluids loaded with sulfur compounds. So I have to take allergy medicine when I go tool or gun shopping! I have to clean the new tools with solvent which growing up was a "no-no" then I re-lube.
