    Hi, new girl

    You might check into getting a job at walmart as a greeter. All you do is say hi to people when they walk in. Walmart hires disabled and handicapped people.

    Water heater pilot

    Alot of times it's not the flame being blown out by the wind. The wind will cause the flame to change direction and not hit the thermo coupler&nbsp;there by&nbsp;shut off the propane.<br />

    Water heater pilot

    That's what I was refering to when I mentioned the thermo coupler. If the tip of it is not in the flame or gets a soot build up,&nbsp;it will shut the gas off.

    Water heater pilot

    Some of the units have an ajustment screw to adjust the size of the flame.<br />You can turn it to make the flame bigger. Sometimes that will help in windy situations. <br />There are other ways to shield the flame from the wind, but like others have said. you don't want to restrict air flow or...

    Radiator cap on an astro

    You shouldn't have to pry on it.&nbsp;Make sure you twist the cap all the way so the tabs line up and it should just lift off.<br />When you turn the cap it should turn part way, then you have to push down and it should turn more. then lift off.<br />The best thing I have found for coolant leaks...

    Here's My Dilemma...

    Hey joey, I read what you said about the spray. If it seems like fog more then spray its possible you didnt put enough gas in. I dont know how much that float bowl holds. If your still interested in trying to fix it. Try pouring in 2 more ounces and see if it becomes a spray. If not try one...
