Technical photo uploading question

[cafe850]

Ok, I consider myself computer savoy until I tried uploading some pics into a post. It said my files were too big...way too big. I used the worst resolution on my camera and made them ultra small and still they were too big. But then I see other posts with huge pics right in with the text, not links. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong...better yet, can anyone tell me how to do it right?

Put the pictures on photobucket or something and when you make a post click on the image icon (it looks like mountains) and past the link to the photo in the box that will pop out at you.

I usually upload mine to the family website for display here.

Funny thing is, it was your pics I was thinking about. I'll try that next time...I need to get snapfish or something.... BTW. Did you get the diaphragms yet?

Yes I did thank you very much!! I even got the whole rebuild done. I had to swap out the needles because the ones in the new diaphragms were to long. I grabbed a little retaining clip remover from the hardware store for $13 and it took care of it no problem!

I couldnt get them as clean as I wanted but I am sure a few more washes and they will come back a little more:

I'm glad they arrived ok. They weren't the most table thing to pack.

So what are you using to clean with? They look pretty good. I found I prefer brake cleaner for just about everything. Another thing I have done is put a small buffer wheel on my drill and use some mothers chrome polish to shine up the tops and the bowls.

btw, I see tile in the corner of the photo. Still using the kitchen table? I got busted for using the coffee table recently but where else can you work on small parts and watch tv?.. I used a towel but I got chewed for that too.

The carb cleaner and a brillow pad took care of the tops and bowls. The hard part was the carb housing, I used every brush and angle I could to try and clean those things. Like I said, TWO 1 gallon cans of carb dip are now blacker than coffee. They were nasty. I can't beleive I even started this thing for the little bit I did with the carbs in the shape they were in. Missing plugs, screws, chewed diaphragms.
