Since the voltage remains normal except under load, and the excess resistance seems to be isolated to whatever is going on under the engine cover, I am assuming that the problem lies there. I have not yet worked up the nerve to try cranking it. Same thing if I jump from the battery to the 20 amp fuse (just bypassing whatever is inside the engine housing). If I jump from the battery to the ignition, then the voltage reads normal when I turn on the ignition, and the horn even works. If I measure the voltage open circuit, I get 12.6 volts, but if I turn on the ignition, it drops to about 7 volts, and if I press the horn button, it drops to about 2 volts. The green wire passes through a 20 amp GM type fuse and then to the B terminal of the ignition switch. A green and a large red wire and some other wires then exit the housing through a separate connector and enter a harness. Two of the three wires from the large solenoid terminal in the original image enter the Kohler engine housing through an L-shaped flexible connector (the green wire directly and the large red wire via an inline fuse). I've been doing some more hunting for possible corroded connections. But I noticed that pressing the horn button would kill the engine. Can I safely just apply 12 volts to the terminal with the blue wire to test the solenoid itself? I have done some reading on solenoids tonight, including some interesting information on this forum about Kohler solenoids. ![]() But I sure would welcome any suggestions from anyone who has some ideas on where to begin. Or could the problem be the solenoid that is partially shorting out? I'll get back to this in the morning when I have better light. The decreased voltage when pressing the horn button seems to support this. I suspect that some corroded connection somewhere between the battery and the blue wire to the solenoid could be causing excessive resistance. The gradually increasing voltage I measured confused me. I think I recall that solenoids years ago simply used 12 volts at low current to energize an electromagnet to engage the pinion and connect the high current to run the starter motor. If I pressed the horn switch, the voltage would drop about in half, but not to zero. If I disengaged the emergency brake or engaged the PTO, the voltage immediately went to zero, so I assume the safety switches were not the problem. When I turned it to "start," the voltage went to about 20 millivolts and then gradually rose to about 60 to 70 millivolts and tapered off. ![]() With the key off or on the voltage was zero. A red alligator clip lead is on that terminal and is connected to my multimeter. A small blue wire from the wiring harness goes to what looks like a magenta connector. The attached image shows a closeup of the Delco solenoid and part of the starter, with the large red cable from the battery plus three other wires to the same terminal. As a teenager 50 years ago I used to jump the starter on my old rail job, but I hesitated trying that on modern equipment-especially since it was getting a little dark. The power deck lift moves up and down normally. I also noticed that the horn would not blow, but I never use it, and didn't know if it might be defective. Charging the battery and cleaning the battery connections did not help. My 2006 61" Gizmow ZTR with a Kohler Command Pro 27 engine would not start today.

![]() They also place a miner on the scoring track and a wagon on each of the shipping tracks. Players each take a player board which has a spot to hold all of their camp and settlement markers. Investment and shipping bonus tiles are placed on the board in the appropriate spots. On this map, you randomly place terrain tiles on each map spot and flip over the ones next to the river.Įight investment cards are drawn and Boomtown is made up of random end game scoring tiles. If you are playing with two players, two of the tiles are flipped over and not used that game. You assemble the frame and then randomly build the map out of the river tile and other hex-based tiles. To start a game of Gold West you first have to build the board. For the metal cylinders, each has a different number of sides so that you can tell them apart by touch as well as colour. The player colours are in colour blind friendly colours as are the resource cubes. It’s worth noting that a lot of work has been done to make this game colour blind and poor vision friendly. One with cylinders in copper, gold and silver and another bag with cubes in green and black. There are also two bags of wooden resources. The wagons have a bit of silk screening on them. Also in each colour are a set of discs, small triangles for representing camps and settlements and three wagons. The wooden components include a miner shaped meeple in each player colour. These are the investment cards that have very clear iconography on them. These came in one of those resealable packages, which is great as I can just keep that and use it to store the cards. On the other side of the insert was a bigger baggie filled with wooden components and a small pack of hobbit-sized cards. It basically just divides the box into two sections. All of these were on one side of a pretty plain but serviceable cardboard insert. I always appreciate when companies include baggies in their games. Interestingly these all came pre-punched.Īlong with the board tiles, I also found a bunch of plastic baggies. It’s comprised of a four piece puzzle fit border and a bunch of hex-based map tiles. The main board for Gold West is just as thick, if not just a bit thicker. These are a stark contrast to the player boards. Under the player boards are some of the thickest cardboard punch boards I’ve ever seen. I am very much reminded of the boards from Terraforming Mars. These are nothing more than thick cardstock. The game also includes four very thin player boards. The text is nice and large and easy to read and includes plenty of examples and graphics. It’s only fifteen pages long, with the last few pages just being a reference for the various investment cards included in the game. Gold West comes with a nice big rulebook.

Mushroom Wars screenshot 2 Mushroom Wars screenshot 3 Mushroom Wars. He’d grown up at Camp Jupiter, so hopefully his familiar face would make the Romans hesitant to blow the ship out of the sky. With his wind-ruffled blond hair and his icy blue eyes, he looked ruggedly handsome and in control- just like a son of Jupiter should. Over his jeans and orange Camp Half-Blood T-shirt, he’d donned a toga and a purple cloak-symbols of his old rank as praetor. ![]() Otherwise he looked calm for a guy who was making himself a target. His knuckles were white on the hilt of his golden sword. ![]() He stood at the bow on the raised crossbow platform, where the Romans could easily spot him. Joke, though Annabeth could never be sure with Piper.) Her choppy brown hair was braided down the right side with an eagle’s feather. Today she was dressed in tattered jeans, worn-out sneakers, and a white tank top with pink Hello Kitty designs. For a child of Aphrodite, Piper tried hard to play down her beauty. “We just want to talk.” Her charmspeak was so powerful, the words flowed over Annabeth, filling her with the desire to drop her dagger and have a nice long chat. Piper paced back and forth between the mainmast and the ballistae, practicing her lines. Even by demigod standards, Leo was seriously ADHD. He could turn the ship by pulling on the throttle, fire weapons by sampling an album, or raise sails by shaking his Wii controllers really fast. Leo had also installed a keyboard, monitor, aviation controls from a Learjet, a dubstep soundboard, and motion-control sensors from a Nintendo Wii. Most helmsmen would’ve been satisfied with a pilot’s wheel or a tiller. On the stern quarterdeck, Leo rushed around like a madman, checking his gauges and wrestling levers. Annabeth gripped one of the bronze shields that lined the starboard rail. The clouds broke around their hull, revealing the gold-and-green carpet of the Oakland Hills below them. She wasn’t sure the Romans had a sense of humor. Leo had wanted to paint a giant message on the bottom of the hull-WASSUP? with a smiley face-but Annabeth vetoed the idea. Hopefully the message had gotten through. She’d asked Leo to send one of his special inventions-a holographic scroll-to alert their friends inside the camp. Annabeth had tried to give the Romans a heads-up. Two hundred feet long, with a bronze-plated hull, mounted repeating crossbows fore and aft, a flaming metal dragon for a figurehead, and two rotating ballistae amidships that could fire explosive bolts powerful enough to blast through concrete…well, it wasn’t the most appropriate ride for a meet-and-greet with the neighbors. The Argo II definitely did not look friendly. What if this was a bad idea? What if the Romans panicked and attacked them on sight? The warship descended through the clouds, but Annabeth couldn’t stop second-guessing herself. Even that mysterious chill she’d been feeling since the ship launched had dissipated, at least for now. The last thing they needed as they flew a magical Greek trireme into a potentially hostile Roman camp was a middle-aged satyr in gym clothes waving a club and yelling “Die!” Everything seemed to be in order. Most important, she pulled aside their war-crazed chaperone, Coach Gleeson Hedge, and encouraged him to take the morning off in his cabin and watch reruns of mixed martial arts championships. She reviewed the plan with the rest of the crew-and the backup plan, and the backup plan for the backup plan. She confirmed that the white “We come in peace” flag was flying from the mast. She’d paced the deck of their flying warship, the Argo II, checking and double-checking the ballistae to make sure they were locked down. UNTIL SHE MET THE EXPLODING STATUE, Annabeth thought she was prepared for anything.

You can use shampoo as little as once a week, as long as it’s a shampoo that’s specifically made for curly locks. ![]() Keep that hair clean and use a conditioner instead of shampoo. Are you going to have light, bouncing curls if they’re weighed down by product buildup and natural grime? Washing tips Yup, we know - some people believe that curls should be washed less. They can absolutely be your crowning glory if you treat them right, and your first step in the process is washing them regularly. That's why knowing your hair porosity is THE most important.If you fall into the 3A to 3C category and were born with naturally curly hair - congrats, you’re the envy of everyone who ever bought a curling iron! But you’re also savvy enough to know that curls can be both a beauty blessing and a management curse because your locks need special care to keep them looking good.Ĭurls can form as anything from big, relaxed loop-de-loops to corkscrews, which look like an old-school telephone cord. What works for one person (even with the same texture) may not work for you. Most people have more than one texture on their head! All you can do is enjoy what GOD gave you and understand that no two heads are created the same. Your texture plays a part but your porosity level is a bit more important overall. Personally, I believe that hair typing is only necessary when trying to understand what products may and may not work for you. Take a look at multiple sections of your hair and determine your hair type by looking at some pictures on the internet.If you blow dry or towel dry your hair, it could make finding your true hair type harder and can temporarily change your curl pattern. Don't blow dry or towel dry your hair.How do I determine my Hair Type?: Wonderful question. Relaxed hair can still be curly so don't be discouraged. Relaxed Hair: The curl pattern of a relaxed persons hair ranges from Type 1 to Type 3. Type 4c Hair is known to shrink to half it's length. The texture of individual hair strands tends to switch from thin/fine to wiry to coarse. Type 4c Hair: Type 4c Hair consist of a “Z” shaped zigzag pattern and shows little or no defined sections of hair. Type 4b Hair is clearly defined and had a clear curl pattern. Type 4b Hair: Takes on a tight crimpy pattern. ![]() The curls tend to be the width of a pencil and are quite springy. Type 4a Hair: Coily and forms tight perfectly cylindrical curls. Keeps the same shape usually when wet or dry. Type 4 Hairĭefinition: Classified ad hair that is coily and tightly curled without the defined ringlets of Type 3 Hair. It takes some manual manipulation to get the curls evenly defined but are moderately defined on their own. Are often highly textured and the hair strands are closely packed together that can also be known as clumping. Type 3c Hair: The curls are more tightly drawn and coily. Hair creams and gel can prevent it from becoming extremely frizzy. The hair is defined (moderately) on it's own but is extremely frizzy. Type 3b Hair: This consist of curls that are more spiraled and stringy than Type 3a Hair. Type 3a Hair: Loose Shirley Temple curls that are easily defined without manipulation or hair styling products. Unfortunately, Type 3 Hair also tends to be very dry. Type 3 Hair is naturally defined without manipulating it or using hair styling products. Type 3 Hairĭefinition: Naturally curly and is shaped like an “S”. Type 2c Hair is the frizziest of all Type 2 Hair and bounces or poofs slightly away from the face. Type 2c Hair: Waves that are tightly drawn so much that they start whirling around themselves to form loose spiral curls. This is about the time frame frizz will start to make itself known and sometimes gel based products are used to keep frizz at bay Yet the hair sticks closely to the head and won't bounce and or poof up. Type 2b Hair: Waves that are clearly defined and are more tightly drawn. This type isn't as frizzy as the next two hair types, but can become frizzy if too much product is applied. Type 2a Hair: Several natural ,loose, beach waves all over the head. Type 2 Hairĭefinition: Naturally wavy and forms an “S” shape. The individual strands tend to be thick and coarse. Type 1c Hair: Few areas with slight bends. Type 1b Hair: Type 1b Hair has sporadic bends and tend to curl under slightly ![]() It is flat with little or no body and is completely straight from root to tip. Type 1a Hair: This type of hair is naturally straight and can't hold a curl at all. Let's start shall we?ĭefinition: No curl pattern and is naturally straight. Here's another article about hair! Although this time it's about different types of hair which I believe you and I may find quite interesting. |
