dunno, the sun disappears behind some hills when it goes down,

The sun doen't move. The earth rotates.

Actually the sun _is_ moving at about 486,000 miles/hour.

its a throttle, again irrelevant of what fuel system or for that
matter
of what powers the bike, fuel or electric.

What is being throttled in an electric?

The electric motor. Or do you think that electricity doesn't qualify as
a fuel?

Do you refer to a "pot" even though the part is wired in the
rheostat
(2 terminal variable resistance) configuration instead of a the
potentiometer (3 terminals, fixed voltages at the ends, variable
output voltage at the wiper) configuration?

quartz watches use a trimmer Capacitor or trim cap where fitted,

Evasion noted. Again I ask, Do you refer to a "pot" even though
the part is wired in a rheostat configuration instead of a
potentiometer configuration?

It's purely semantics. Any three terminal potentiometer can be
connected to function as a rheostat. Funny thing is that I have some
two terminal variable resistors that were sold as pots. I'm surprised
that you're not making a big stink about the confusion between caps and
pots.

Let me guess, you're a first year student.

now a question for you, why is it the worst stuffed up clock repairs
I
see at times has been done by an "engineer", specially when they try
to
"improve" the clock, like a few years ago when I had an 1800s english
longcase clock that the "engineer" had fitted ball races to the great
wheels! grrrrr.

You are confusing engineering with hacking. Engineers are the
folks who design the clocks in the first place.

No, locksmiths were the first to build "timepieces". Locksmiths arose
from blacksmithing. At any rate trains hadn't yet been invented. ;-)

Answer me this: What is the difference between a clock and a timepiece?
