How to Identify and Resolve Common Issues ?
We offer a diverse range of insights on identifying and resolving common problems in sports. Our sources encompass academic articles, blog posts, and personal essays shared by seasoned athletes. :
To take your dartboard for a `spin`: unclip the number ring and turn the board by one segment. E.g. 20 would become 12. Then just clip the number ring back on. And remember to go in the same direction each time.
The electronic dartboard is smaller, with a diameter of 15.5 inches, and has an attached power source that reads the darts as they hit the board and displays the score on an LCD display. This can be more accurate than regular boards, depending on the quality of the board.
As you play darts the sisal fibers in the board will get stretched out which can cause them to become dry and hard. By rotating the board regularly you will reduce the stress on specific segments and give them time to heal.
The darts board containes numbers 1 to 20. The number on the board is amount of the points scored. Hitting the outer ring area (Double) scores a double. The scored is twice the number on the board.
Most modern dart boards are made from Sisal. Sisal dartboards should never be exposed to water or moisture. Not one component of your dartboard will benefit from getting wet. The sisal will absorb the moisture unevenly and cause your dartboard to look like a mountain range.
Darts may not have broken or cut off tips. No blow darts or magnetic darts are allowed. g.
Ideally, you want your darts to hit the board at a perfectly flat angle, or with the flight pointing slightly upwards, not more than 5-10 degrees. Additionally, as longer shafts can have a tendency to “fish-tail” through the air, darts with longer shafts may benefit from the stabilizing effect of larger dart flights.
The lower end of the bristle dart board category has offerings at around $30.00, but the upper end can go as high as $120.00. This broad range in price is due to the high variability in quality, with more expensive boards using higher quality fibers, a tighter fiber core compression, etc.
An older name for a dartboard is “butt“; the word comes from the French word but, meaning “target” or “goal”. The standard numbered point system is attributed to Lancashire carpenter Brian Gamlin, who devised it in 1896 to penalise inaccuracy, though this is disputed.
There is no doubt that missing shots are common and that they can significantly damage your wall. Sadly, it can create lots of holes, and dings that will look worse as time goes on. As the paint starts to chip off, your wall will look like crap. You can`t depend on your aim to be precise all the time.
There is an “old wives tale” that you can revive a dartboard by spraying the board with water. This is false, it will cause the sisal fibres to swell and destroy the board. A key element in maintaining your dartboard is maintaining the points of your darts. Ensure points are kept sharp and not blunt or hooked.
Around the world, darts is the ultimate game for beginners because it uses every space on the board. It is the best tool to help you learn your way around the dart board. As you get better, you can increase the difficulty by moving on to doubles or triples. It also benefits from not having to keep score.
No matter what a person decides to do, the dartboard is still going to make noise upon impact. There are ways to control the sound a bit, but it is impossible to stop vibrations completely. The most efficient way to really see a big difference is to invest in a dartboard backboard, or at least a sound deadening mat.
Most modern dartboards are made of sisal fibers. There are other materials such as cork, paper, wood, and plastic being used, each serving a different purpose.
The moisture, salt (from sweat) and oil on your hands can corrode your dart barrels over time, and make them slippery. Cleaning your darts will also give you better grip by removing the slippery feeling and the grimy particles filling-in the hollows. To make your darts go the distance, clean them regularly.
The heaviest darts you can buy and use on the professional level are 50 grams.
DART navigated to crash itself into Dimorphos at a speed of approximately 6.1 kilometers (3.8 miles) per second. The total mass of the DART spacecraft was approximately 1,345 pounds (610 kilograms) at launch and roughly 1280 pounds (580 kilograms) at impact.
The authors conclude: “To serve as a proof-of-concept for the kinetic impactor technique of planetary defense, DART needed to demonstrate that an asteroid could be targeted during a high-speed encounter and that the target`s orbit could be changed. DART has successfully done both.”
Smaller flights cause less drag meaning the darts move through the air more quickly. Larger flights have the opposite effect causing more drag and slowing the dart down. It is advisable to use larger flights if your throw is gentler or if you throw with a lob.
If you hold the dart too loosely the dart will fly out of your hands and fly high. The shape of the grip on the barrel can help or hinder you from hanging on to your dart, or having to grip it tightly to be able to throw it correctly. Play with different shapes and grips; find something that works for you.
The lower the weight, the harder you will have to throw. If you like to throw with a lot of force, a lighter dart may be the way to go. If you have a more relaxed style of throwing, heavier is probably better. If your dart is going higher than your intended aim, try a heavier dart.
In fact, we recommend having two sets of darts, over time you will find your styles can vary from night to night. The bottom line is that you will ultimately be judged by your skill as a player and not by how deep your pockets go. Many professionals prefer cheaper darts, and there is no shame in doing the same.
The numbers on a dartboard are ordered in such a way to increase the need for skill and remove chance from the game. Higher numbers are placed beside lower numbers on the board so the penalty for missing a dart is higher.
Much like flights and shafts, steel tip points are an interchangeable part of a dart and can be replaced.

How do I set up a dart board the correct way, with measurements etc? And where is the best place to put your dart board?
ANSWER : Id say the best place is where you have an open space to play, normally we have ours outside on the patio, but in winter we put it on the back of the hallway door, we use soft cork on the outsides of the board so when you throw miss, it lands in the cork, not the door.

2011 ninja 1000 fuel pump not coming on
first cycle of the key, but injectors come on.
first cycle of the key, but injectors come on.
Engine killed when i hit a bump and let out clutch.
I restarted it and let out clutch and it killed again.
I parked the bike on the stand and let it sit for an hour, then i restarted it and the bike started up, when i gave it gas it backed fire.
Do you think it could be the fuel pump or relay? The shop thinks it could be the kick stand switch, but even acts up on neutral and the gas pump doesn’t come on first cycle of key when cold. Only injectors come on.
ANSWER : I would agree with the shop, as far as check the simply things first.while trouble shooting you want to start with the easy things, if you jump right into the pricey things and that is not it you have spent money and time and still have the problem. If you have a multimeter it will make this pretty easy. put your meter on the ohm setting and open and close the switch ( sidestand, clutch, ect.) if one of your safety swtich is not working right it will make your bike act up. start with that and if they are all working as they should please let me know and we can go deeper into it. I had a bike come into the shop that would cut out while riding, every bump every turn. I chased my tail because i didn’t start simple. i sent a lot of time and ended up paying for a fuel pump out of pocket because that wasn’t the problem. All the switches where working and nothing seemed right everything was working. after a few days while raising the bike on the left i notched the side stand moving a little with ever little bump on the way up. long story short the spring on the side stand had lost it’s ” spring” and won’t hold the side stand up right, every bump every turn the side stand moved a little letting the switch open and kill the bike .let me know what you find and if you need more help I’ll get and send you the wiring diagram and we can start work out the problem.M.Woodring

I just purchased this Yamaha boat w/Twin MR-1 140hp motors, less than 100hrs (60 prox)and the starboard motor only reached 8000rpm on a 10000 redline spec (the port motor reaches 10000rpm. I have replaced the spark plugs immediatly and now the motor reaches 9500rpm. When the plugs were replaced the plug wire top of the plugs had a black powder residue (like graphite)and #1 & 4 plug electrode end were black minimal soot and #2 & #3 had a white color residue on the ceramic.
Any suggestions to attain the full 10000rpm?
A Yamaha dealer is 100 miles, so I would like to fix myself if possible. Thanks
ANSWER : I never rec’d an answer…..I WANT A REFUND!

Turned poulan pro 42 inch 18.5 HP Briggs and Stratton mower off after 1hr of use to move a board I was about to mow over. Tried to restart it but it just backfires. Removed spark plug and it looked fouled. Cleaned it up but when looking at spark it is orange in color. Bought new spark plug and now get white spark. Installed new spark plug and it still backfires. Plug is wet with gas. Any suggestions?
ANSWER : Check the valve clearances and especially the inlet valve to make sure that it is not riding (staying slightly open) B&S are notorious for valve problems as most of their motors do not have a valve adjustment on them, the valves stems have to be filed/ground down to get a clearance. Somewhere between 0.010 to 0.015″ is near enough for the inlets and about 0.005″ more for the exhaust. It is not critical.

I have a yamaha raptor 4 wheeler. I can not get it to start until I unplug the regulator module in the back or the conection plug on left side of machine. the electrical line comes from the regulator through the plug down into left side of engine. not sure what is in there? with machine running if I plug the lines together it will die Unplug and it will fire right up. Any help?
Thanks RW
Thanks RW
ANSWER : You most defiantly have a short you need to trace the wires down
and find out witch one is grounded
and find out witch one is grounded
you may even have a bad alternator that’s grounded or the regulator
the way they make things to day its very hard to test some units
its all going to be trial and error
hope this helps you

Spark plug wire boot grounding out on coil, 96 outback 2.5 automatic, just put new spark plug wires, new spark plugs, and new coil on. ran great for two weeks, now spark is jumping out of boot at coil on one wire, put old coil back on and still does it in the same spot. replaced wires again, and still does it in the same spot. seems to do it only under a load. Is my new spark plug on that cylinder bad? Does the coil need some insulation under it? It is the coil that sits right on top of the motor. Any ideas? thanks.
ANSWER : Sparks are high voltage, and will always follow the path of least resistance. If you can visibly see a spark (whether in a lighted area, or in the dark), that means either that a plug wire (or coil wire) is open (non conductive), or your have a carbon track on the surface where the spark can be seen, but most likely you have BOTH problems!
If you have an ohmmeter, check the resistance of each wire involved, particularly spark plug wires … which means you must be able to connect to both ends of each wire at the same, and hopefully, FLEX those wires, to be sure they don’t have a break inside that is intermittent (comes and goes)!
