Question:

Carbon monoxide detector always shows 11 or 12 peak level..is this bad?

I've gone out of town several times and reset my carbon monoxide detector to zero, and each time I come home, it always says 11 or 12. What does this mean? I'm getting a puppy and want to make sure she's going to be safe! My home is heat through propane, and I have a gas stove. Thank you

Answer:

Put on a glove, start the bike and rev it up a bit. Stick your hand over the back of the muffler and rev the bike. Now listen for weird noises coming from elsewhere on the bike - check the cylinder where the exhaust exits the engine, then all the way along the pipe to the back. If you don't find anything this way, then rev the engine with your hand still covering the end of the muffler. Is that Harley sound gone? If so, then there was some sort of baffle inside the muffler that ejected when you hit the bump. Engines need proper backpressure to run well, especially small engines. If the bike had proper backpressure with this baffle and now it doesn't it could potentially flatten out the power curve at higher rpm. If this doesn't solve the problem, check the air box and carb manifold. If the airbox or manifold came loose this could maybe cause the problem you're describing.

A fire alarm panel can be programmed to do just about anything. The most basic thing it will do is sound an alarm, that should automatically initiate a fire evacuation plan, call it a drill if you like but the object of the excercise is to evacuate the area, whether you think its a 'drill' or not. Your mate is correct, you had better get the drinks in.
