So you fuck-up your facts, then turn and give him
your "FYI-Allow me correct you" bullshit! What an ass.

WD-40, is WD-40.

3-in-1 oil, is 3-in-1 oil.

SAE-20 has two flavors. Try not to pick the wrong one.

Yea, it's just one mans advice. He just made that up through the years.
It's just his opinion. How very graceful of you to put aside your
all-knowing wisdom and apply his "advice". That's lovely!

Every time you ask a question to anyone, there first response must be
"are you asking me or are you telling me?"

Stormy, will you please try to straighten this guy out!

Thanks for the support Zero.

I was only trying to keep Stu from harm. When I think I can help somebody
with what I do know, then I offer my help.

I do telephone tech support all day long on electrical/electronic machine
controls, so I am used to people telling me many things. I have to sort all
that out to figure out how to help them.

Regards,

Bob

Don't top post!

Anyway let them talk until they stop. Ask a question and wait till they stop.
Ask another question and so on. When they utter very few words they are worn
out and receptive to what you ask and answers you give. Then they will either
do what you want or do what they want; therefore they go on the defective list.
Everyone has a story that they must unload before progress can be made...

"3-in-1 oil, is 3-in-1 oil."

Bull!


Heinz Ketchup, is Heinz pickles?

3-in-1 is a BRAND and not a product.


If you had taken 10 seconds to click on the link provided, you would
have learned about the many 3-in-1 products.


Question: Have you or any of your associates ever seen a 1/4 HP run
capacitor fan burn up and catch on fire on 110 VAC?


On another forum I have spoke to others who ran their 220 VAC motors
for years. One guy ran them in a main frame computer room and the
other in his attic. Both for years!

What... Another attempt at deflection gone awry?

Didn't like your inadequacies made so openly transparent?
Just,,, calm down, you'll be fine.

If I told you YES, would you really believe me or really give-a-shit?

"YES" is not what you want to hear, anyway. So wire it up.

And you need positive reinforcement from strangers to move
forward on your little project. That's wonderful.

Wire it up and turn the switch already!
