As another Lame Cherry exclusive in matter anti matter.
I'm going to preface this with a quote by, Admiral, Hyman Rickover, who was the father of the United States Navy nuclear fleet.
One day he was looking at the submarine design in the bulk head of the reactor and it was bolted with these bolts big as a human. He told a subordinate in charge of the operation that maybe they should weld the bulk head too. The sub was argumentative about it as the head was not going to blow off those bolts, but Rickover said to him, "Do you think it will be safer and add more protection if we do weld the head on, instead of just relying on the bolts?"
The sub agreed that it would be safer and the heads were bolted and welded on. The US Navy had a reactor failure due to this.
I realize that all of us have gained allot of genius in using our cell phones to take pictures of projects we are engaged in, as a picture is worth all the stupidity we have in forgetting how to assemble something that we just tore apart.
I have assembled things wrong and never got things right, before cell phone pictures as I kind of just kept my hands in most cases off of carburetors and other thing that were a bit touchy and complicated. That has all changed with experience and necessity. It also is part of the million dollar knowledge the Lame Cherry is about to bestow on you.
I'm not into girly paint my nails stuff, but I do have fingernail polish, because it is very durable, and when I get it in the Thrift from other insane women who paint their nails ghastly colours for attention, for 50 cents I get the cheapest and most effective marking colours I can find. They come with a handy brush and they do not run.......fingernail polish is perfect for the work I do in marking things like the wires and springs on a carburetor.
As you can see I use three colours, Red, White and Blue. There is no mistaking them and in almost every situation you are not going to run into more than three terminals that need marking. Thee above photo is how this all works and you can see how they stand out.
I would add Halloween whore colours of orange and black as that would fill every venue, but I just did not have any local whores getting rid of their Halloween whore nail polish when I got these.
For guys, you can get your woman to buy the stuff for you, so people don't think you are a Goddamn tran. Only prob with that is women get to buying nail polish for you, you probably won't get your nail polish and she will come home with 15 shades of red. Never has there been more shades of red in the world, except marketed at women as there are about 5000 colours of Raspberry Red in the line up.
So now like Rickover, you have the photo and you have colour leading you to the Wizard of Oz to make sure that even the most tard of you will not mess this up...........as long as they do not dunk this in carburetor cleaner and it washes it all off.......or that should be dissolves it all off.
One more million dollar knowledge here. For my make up kit for carburetors, I have a kind of petite size metal shoe box things I have been picking up at the Thrift. I have one for chainsaws, one for electronics, one for carburetors with the kind of tools I need to make things easy, so I can find things and not have them dropped to hell and gone. JYG has one for tire repair which I intend to expand to also. Keep your shit that you need in boxes like this and you will always have things handy, unless your kids or wife decide they need something and discover all kinds of neat uses for your things from throwing them at each other or prying on some door handle that never was locked.
What you put in your boxes is up to you, but each one basically has the tech tools along with the regular screwdrivers, 1/4 inch sockets and whatever in electrical tape that is kid of universal suffrage stuff.
One last thing. It is your death in using this colour chart for electrical wires as people always use live wires in not shutting off the power, and nail polish is wet so it will conduct. That is where I usually use masking tape with a felt marker to number the wires as thing were easier with just hot and the ground, but now you got hot, neutral and ground Ground is always green until things get confusing in wires, but again, green nail polish, preferably Nigger Green, that florescent kind suffices. Just do not have allot of Afroids around in the Brier as that is where the green nail polish would be available by the tanker load.
OK so don't be a lazy ass and get some nail polish for projects. Will save you lots of frustration and make your life so much more genius.
Once again another Lame Cherry exclusive in matter anti matter.
