Before determining if you like a battery powered on anything , ask if the batteries are pro-rated

Buy another fuel jug you like and fill the 2 half full .

I don't know , wife was asleep and i had turned Alice up-sidedown and she stopped mouthing off at me . I set Alice on wife's bedroom floor with feet up and Alice was at the station the next A M .

Wife has a robot and her name is Alice . Well Alice hasn't worked very well since i kicked the hell outta her for following me around . The last night at bed-time i heard Alice in the spare bedroom . She went under the bed and couldn't find her way out . I finally rescued Alice , didn't know...

I kinda forgot about that tool . and a funny i can recall was when the condenser was too large or too small . And iir when new points were bought there was a condenser in the package ,

They are called bearings because of the rotation of 1 component on another . A good example of a bushing is when there is no rotation between 2 components . Example : A saw blade is sometimes required to have a bushing to fit the saw arbor . There is no rotation between the 2 components . It...

Unless the operator's manual mentions it , i'm not going to be concerned with my X350 about either engage or dis-engage .

Although drying oils rather than lubricating oils seem to be most vulnerable to spontaneous combustion i don't take a chance with any oils . For a inexpensive container , find a stainless stock pot with a lid at the recycle center . Shop towels to be saved can be washed with paint thinner and...

Does adjusting the throttle while cranking make a engine start better ?

With a diesel engine and constant speed governor , does a diesel with a constant speed governor start the engine at wot

My 50 year old Schumacer charger regulates the amps as the battery charges . If you were to leave the battery out in the elements over the winter to discharge until it wouldn't crank the engine there is a good chance a frozen battery will have 0.0 cranking amps for spring mowing ...

If you ever need to transport it in a pick up truck , a 42 inch will fit but a 48 inch wont and maybe a 46 inch won;t go in . For deck cleaning and blade maintenance i prefer a 42" cut . I'd be looking at the J Deer mods ...

Build the wear areas back with a welder and grind those areas back to original diameter with a Rt. angle grinder followed with a file and emery tape ..

I pull trees and no stump problem .

Roll : I knew to check the oil without screwing the stick on, I knew that. But, when actually checking the oil I forget that kind of nonsensical mechanical maintenance minutia. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Alter the dip stick so it's screw in...

How will you prevent that too tight problem in the future?

If no wires for electric it operates by heat . I was hoping they would never make those after the 1960's

It could be something as simple as the gas tank not venting

Don't sell now . They will more valuable in 2044 -2045.

This is my take on the subject of no lube because it collects dust / dirt . There is dust / dirt there without lube but we can't see it , so then the question is , do we want dry dirt or lubricated dirt . I choose lubricated and even modified my X350 to oil the steering gear bearing and the...

That's what happened to a fellow at work when he as removing one from a metal box that cranked a Wisconsin engine . He didn't cover either post . They have to be taken to water .

I see some have never heard of a battery exploding in someone's face . Please disconnect the negative first and reconnect it last .

My 2 year old truck battery read 12.4 V but didn't have enough power to unlock the door with the key fob .

i like to disconnect the negative lead first so there isn't as much chance of me screwing up .

Another way to determine if there is water , remove the gas hose at the carb , gravity or let it pump some in a veggie can and see if it will burn .

Back in the good ole days battery testing was done without equipment . Test -- If the head lights were bright the battery will crank it .

Check the timing . Firing too early can cause that problem .

Old men drive um to the mail box every other day and it stays ready to go .

Remove the spark plug and check the spark timing with compression simultaneously . A helper to pull the rope .

Also a table saw etc. table or any other similar machine table will work to sand flat . A pencil marks may indicate how good you doing .

Was it WOG ? ask or look for WOG stamped on the hose . water / oil / gas

Some automotive supplies keep a supply of hose that may be sold by the ft .

I could be wrong but i doubt RTV would tolerate the heat . That info. may be in the literature on the tube .

After cleaning the area thoroughly I'd reach for the J B Weld or equivalent then when cured file it off even with the surrounding surface .

I;ll ask my personal chemist , but i doubt there's more than a molecule or 2 difference between methanol and ethanol and i've pumped thousands of gallons of meth. from a 500 gal. tank through a rubber hose that's been on the pump for 30 years or more . The hose should be labeled WOG for either...

The pre-mixed is for girls .

https://www.jmesales.com/kolor-kut-water-finding-paste/ There's a water locating paste that will tell us how much standing water is in the gas .

I ask if the case of post holes i ordered 12 years ago are in .

Replace the Bendix Drive

Drink it /sell it and try methanol .

Air leaks at the carb gasket are often worse at idle than at high speed because of more vacuum at idle . When it's surging push the top of the carb side ways and if there is a gasket leak the engine may die . A least it would on my 1959 ford PU and also on a new 1964 that another guy was the...

if its the spring i;m thinking of that spring works in conjunction with the governor to control engine spreed . with the engine dead the spring should have the throttle plate fully open .

Not familiar with that engine , but sometimes points will fail by leaving a pit in 1 side with a matching mound on the opposite side .

Not only small engines /tillers etc. , my hvac man says a large percent of his business is homeowners attempting to FIX it .

This seems like the perfect place to re leave the 1st thread or two from the screw .

When searching the first thing mentioned is what ILENGINE said . CCA can range between 145 -300 and we may as well chose something close to 300

The information in reply #4 was to test the starter and prevent buying a new starter if that made the engine crank .

On your starter remove the + red cable we see and screw the nut back on . Connect a jumper cable from the battery + to that terminal on the starter . Now connect the - jumper cable to the battery and the other end touch a starter mounting bolt .
