I prefer someone to come to my house because it's a rider, plus I would know what they do to repair so I can learn. If it's a push mower, I can bring it to them It works fine before I put the tainted gas in. I had it service every year because they sabotaged my rider, more than once/ year.

I put the gas line by the gas tank back & started the engine. The gas that came out before the carb line looks good. I hooked it up to the carb. It will start with the starting fluid for 1 sec., I'm sure that the carb is good & clean. I'm sure that the gas in the tank should be enough to run the...

I disconnected the gas line under the tank but no gas coming out (I opened the gas cap also). I used the pump to pump out the gas from this disconnect gas line under the shut of valve to the gas line before get into the carburetor & the gas is bad. I knocked out 3/4 of it so not much left to...

" you have it connected to the stud" - that's how the 1st repair guy did, he's using the new solenoid & he attached it to the stud so I followed how he did it. "The black ground wire goes to where you inserted that threaded rod to the right of the carb, which is supposed to have a 10mm bolt...

I drained most of the gas out (from the glass jar on the R) & put it in the tuna can (very little gas, mostly the liquid from the bottom). I burned it as one person suggested it to me in the previous post. It's all burn up (at least 5 mins or more) & container is empty/dry!!! What is it? Water...

It might be a few hundred dollars & the thieves still keep sabotage my equipment so I have to keep spending the money on parts & repair.

These are the gas that I got it out today, it looks like all the bad gas out. Need advice & suggestion what to do next!!! Clean the carb? Use the new carb without 2 ports? ???

I opened the carb, there's some water in the gas. So I started the engine & get gas out of the line (before the carb). I think the rest is the new gas that I put it in. It started with the starting fluid for 1 sec & stop. Does it mean I need to clean the carb? Can I use the new carburetor (pic...

I had previously posted about water in gas but it might be oil in gas (see previous post with pictures). I drained the gas out, just opened the carb today & dumped the gas with oil or water in it out (see past picture). How to remove the main jet for cleaning (pic #5)? Since it does not have the...

In the 1st container (coke bottle), the top portion is gasoline. What is the darker color on the bottom? Water (why it's dark like oil) or oil? I have attached the photo of gas that came out of the carburetor, it looks like water at the bottom, it does not look dark like in the coke bottle. (I...

I bought the new gas. #1 & 2 pic - compare to new gas in a glass jar #3 pic - Compare to oil (5W30) So I believe it's oil, thieves also add more oil to the oil tank. Because it doubles the height above the max line on the dipstick. They also did it last year but it looked thinner so I drained...

I use the red gas can that’s why I didn’t see it had been tampered with.

Thank you so much. Can I still use the existing fuel filter (which is not old)? Can you tell me how much water is in these 3 containers?
