    credit score also includes how you pay back the money you borrow. On time. Late? How late, how often?

    My wife and I have her house on the market to lease. the first candidate had a 188 credit score with bad history of late payments. where do you think his application went? insurance rates are also based on credit score to some degree as well.

    I doubt that will happen. when you settle for less than what is owed - they will place a note on your credit file that it was a settlement and it will affect your credit score. accurate information can't be removed from a credit report.

    cool - thanks. He asked if I'd be interested in fixing it for him...won't hurt to have a look. would a dropped PV cause no compression?

    he took it back to the "mechanic." compression in rear cylinder is zero. told me he got pissy with the guy and didn't leave the ski with him...and he didn't way what the compression was in the front cylinder...but did say that "everything still moves" Guess I'll have him bring it to me so I...

    Other Is it my phone/network or is Tapatalk pretty much useless lately?

    it was not a "you" problem - I've been having problem with TAT on the X for weeks. It ALWAYS tells me "no new posts" - so I stopped even trying to use TAT on here. after I saw your thread this morning I tried again - and it works like it's supposed to.

    I basically told him the same thing about premix, and if we get this thing fixed - it's going to be premix from now on. The "mechanic" is a guy that works out of his truck and a storage unit...hence the quotes: "mechanic" The mechanic recommended not to converting to premix because the oil pump...

    that's what I thought when he told me it was smoking. He doesn't have a compression tester so I'm bringing mine in to work tomorrow. gotcha. Wasn't sure if there was something special that should have been done to it.
