    Stiga vs stihl

    Hi all, just after some opinions of which is the best value for a strimmer and hedge cutter. I'm in the UK if that makes much difference. My local dealer has these two brands in stock, but I can get echo a few miles further afield and obviously I can order others off the internet but would...

    Rough Idle - Dirty Carb or Something Worse?

    I had a similar problem with a mower, if I leaned the mower backwards when it tried to stall, it would keep it running well. I tried cleaning the tank, cleaning the carb (multiple times), replacing the plug, regapped the coil, regapped the new plug, checked all gaskets and replaced any that...

    Problems with compression test.

    I've always been taught that you should have a fully charged battery, all plugs out of the engine and wide open throttle. That method has never failed me.

    Atco Balmoral 14se

    I've just been given an atco Balmoral 14se mower that doesn't run and someone's smeared chemical metal all over the carb bowl as it appears to leak, and surprisingly enough, hasn't solved the leak. I'm wanting to get a new carb for it but need to find the engine code to be able to search for...

    Turbocharging a lawn mower

    @wineman is there a reason you seem to not want to post any pictures or info on this? I'm genuinely curious about how you had it set up to make it work and would love to see some pictures or even a video of it if you took a video of it running?

    Turbocharging a lawn mower

    That's an amazing price! What do you get for your $75, is there a manifold and boost pipes included? Would you be able to post a link or even pm me the details please.

    Turbocharging a lawn mower

    I'm curious, how much have you been quoted for the turbo and related parts to convert the engine you have? And have the people who have been giving you advice on this actually shown you a running single cylinder mower engine with their turbo kit on it?

    How Would you

    I'm curious why you'd want a turbo on any mower.... Some kind of racing maybe?

    Troy built mowers, don't want the oil changed, just add to original oil ??

    I use one of these for small engine oil changes. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/352309765380?var=0&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&campid=5338268676&toolid=10044&customid=CjwKCAjw7c2pBhAZEiwA88pOF47bgiVDldP17UwwpET4_nmg5zJrTvTTgomzN2Y8R2DjNRoCghxihRoCj2sQAvD_BwE

    Yard King self propelled push mower.

    Have you tried to suck the oil out of it with an vacuum oil pump? That's how I do most of my small engine oil changes now. They're not alot of money, think I paid about £15 for mine and it's saved alot of trouble with oil changes plus there is zero mess to deal with after.

    Why no forum for Ryobi ??

    The same can be said for Makita, DeWalt and many other brands, but then that's what the 'other brands' forum is for, or atleast that's where I'd be asking.
