Last Sunday's minifest with Donny

[Bob McCarty]

Donny finally took a day off and came up for a half day at my place north of Denver. It always amazes me how much I can learn in such a short time (and how much I have yet to learn). One of my Cubs sounded funny, sort of an offshoot of no muffler, hard to describe. We were both scratching our heads until Donny pulled off a plug wire and found they were carbon centers instead of solid. After replacing those, it sounded just like it should have. I should have recorded the funny growl it made. Learned some more about steering, and then spent some time just sitting and talking. Thanks Donny, come on over anytime!!

When I was working on the restoration of my Cub Donny was always available for help. He has a lot to share.
Good to hear he is taking a few hours away from work

Sounds like fun!!!

Hey Bob,

Glad to hear you and Donny had a great mini-fest. You know that Donny knows all about things dielectric or near dielectric.

Did Donny tell you that relative static permittivity (or static relative permittivity) of carbon core plug wires under given conditions is a measure of the extent to which it concentrates electrostatic lines of flux. It is the ratio of the amount of stored electrical energy when a potential is applied, relative to the permittivity of a vacuum. The relative static permittivity is the same as the relative permittivity evaluated for a frequency of zero. The relative static permittivity is represented as εr or sometimes κ or K or Dk. It is defined as where εs is the static permittivity of the material, and ε0 is the electric constant. (The relative permittivity is the complex frequency-dependent , which gives the static relative permittivity for ω = 0.)

Mike,

I surrender!!!!!

Please provide a diagram

Now Mike......just how many times did you fall off the cub and land on your noggin while pulling that drag under those trees of yours

[schmibm]

Aren't cubs great. They bring us all together.

[Arizona Mike]

Hope this will help, but I'm not that well versed in dielectrics. If you guys have any questions Russ or Donny can probably clarify.

[Bob Grieb]

Mike

Thanks for the clarification. It all makes sense now. I have concluded that you need help.

How in the world did you figure out the password to my work computer?

Mike's gonna need this sign if he keeps it up - I wonder if a Cub can go 88mph?!
