Randall babbled : I'm sorry; what I meant was a standard _machine_ screw thread. Of course 5/16NF is a standard thread for other types of screws, like SHCS. But for every source I looked at, fine thr

Er, no, in both cases a higher number means a thicker oil (at a constant temperature). But "10 weight" covers a range of centistokes values, and apparently 46 (at 40C) is within range, so the oil yo

Yup. The only savings (if any) would be lower "pumping losses" due to running with the throttle wider open. That's the main reason small engines get slightly better fuel mileage in the same car as l

That has certainly been my experience. Basically winds up melting a hole rather than drilling it. Which may not be such a bad thing if the appearance of the hole isn't important. I bought my late wi

You can copy the folders, but don't expect apps like MS Office to work. There is a huge amount of stuff stored in the registry that won't be copied over that way. Yes, there is a chance of that. Not
