Climbers who discovered the body of Mallory on Mount Everest have sent a tissue sample for testing to prove conclusively the remains were those of the British explorer lost in 1924, an expedition official said on Tuesday.
ENGINE RUN-ON, DIESELING -- RO-101. DIESELING, that nasty tendency of an engine to continue to run on, coughing and sputtering, after the ignition is turned off and there is no more spark. Run-on by dieseling is caused by fuel in engine igniting without spark. Possible explanations: a.) Running winter fuel in warm weather.
When the engine goes through its cycle: 1  The piston starts at the top, the intake valve opens, and the piston moves down to let the engine take in a cylinder-full of air and gasoline. This is the intake stroke. 2  The piston moves back up to compress this fuel/air mixture. Compression makes the explosion more powerful.
