I have a Craftsman with a B&S 7# torque engine which is increasingly becoming harder to start. This morning, it took eleven pulls to start it when it's suppose to start on first or second pull. There is no throttle control, carb adjustment or anything adjustable. Any suggestions? It will...

My little ZTR broke the extension spring that puts tension on the idler pulley. I just received the new spring. I know one end will go to the idler arm, but where in hades does the other end attach? I've swung the spring 360 degrees to see where it would fit with no success. Any help would take...

I found your sister.

I bought the bug 12 years ago when it was red. True story, it was driven by a little old lady since she bought it new in 1964. I swapped the engine to a Boxster type, and still have the original engine. This is what is in it now.

I like to take care of my stuff. My play car is 48 years old.

I'm looking for a lift of some sort to get my tractors off the ground. I have seen the Mojack and truthfully was not overly enthused with it. Does anyone have other recommendations? Thanks.
