Re: Honda outboards
I have always wondered about all the bells and whistles on engines now-a-days.
I'm sure some it really does help efficiency but I'm sure a lot of it is detrimental to the pocketbook for no other reason than $$$.
The old outboards in particular were simple to repair. Now you need computer surveillance equipment to get to the source of the bug.

i think that 1/2 of my expenses to auto mechanics for company vehicles is to do something after a check engine light came on due to an o2 sensor.megman wrote: ↑Thu Feb 06, 2020 8:38 pm I have always wondered about all the bells and whistles on engines now-a-days.

Re: Honda outboards
You can't be serious. You take your company vehicles in to a mechanic when the "check engine light" comes on? I haven't been in a company vehicle that didn't have that light on in 10 years.Flumper wrote: ↑Thu Feb 06, 2020 8:49 pmi think that 1/2 of my expenses to auto mechanics for company vehicles is to do something after a check engine light came on due to an o2 sensor.megman wrote: ↑Thu Feb 06, 2020 8:38 pm I have always wondered about all the bells and whistles on engines now-a-days.

Mechanical Engineer? You've got to be kidding
A mechanical engineer, who's never heard of C batteries, can't assemble a grill, doesn't understand a wax ring under a toilet, can't figure out why carpet doesn't belong in a bathroom, etc, etc.
Your list of mechanical ineptitude is too long for this tall tale
Thanks for the laugh

Raider High has a really good engineering program.
