About an eye dropper of gasoline into the top of the carb will tell us a few things

The reason i changed to champion is when before retirement a Brand New 7042 1,000 H.P.Waukeshaw was set in the area i maintained . Being on call I was the fellow that received the phone call at around 2 AM , new engine down abut 20 miles away . Removed NGK that I'd never heard of and replaced...

I'm thinking there is still a fuel problem for what reason ????. With the air filter out and a dribbler of gasoline into the carb determine if it will stay alive .

I mow a clay soil ditch with a X350 and if a tire gets any wet on it i find something else to mow . String trimmers don't seem to get stuck .

I had a John Deere that wouldn't start cold but started fine otherwise . The solution after so much aggravation i drilled a 1/8" hole in the rubber hose between the air filter and carburetor , as close to the carb as possible , to squirt a eye dropper of gasoline in . Seal the hole with a pan...

Check timing by watching the spark while you have your thumb pressed firmly on the spark plug hole . While a helper is cranking it , If timed close enough to start and run you'll see spark at the same time your thumb is blown from the plug hole .

Maybe grinding a radius in the side of the chisel that is approximately the same radius as the cone would help with removal .

Size a wood dowel that will screw into the hole by measuring the ID of the hole and add 0.020" . Then you can get a better idea of threads / inch and diameter to determine if its imperial or metric .

I don't care much for clamp connections for hose so this is what i do . Place the hose beside the barb end and mark on the hose , with a felt tip , where each depression of the barbs are . That's where my very small zip ties are placed . I don't have fancy tools so i tighten the zips with...

If your bike tire is a little low on pressure and you don't have a compressor or air tank ( with air ) a hose can be made to steal a small amount of air from your wife's car tires , spare included , then she can have air replaced at her favorite tire repair shop or dealer . I can have 4...

"Clockwise" That's why they don't loosen with 40 lb. torque .

By design that nut only needs about 40 ft. lbs of torque .

COPIED "First pass at 3.5”, and second pass at 3.75” or 4”. ***************************************************************** Seniorcitizen .I'm not seeing how that's possible .

THIS GUY SAID " HEY YOU DIPSTICK , READ WHAT IT SAYS ON THE DIPSTICK .

I've read on forums the dip stick cap should set on top of the tube while others say screw it in . Which is it ?

Cutting wet grass on clay soil. Make a wood level gauge shaped like an L . Place a strip of Styrofoam on the long portion . While on a flat surface ( no need to be level ) check where blades touch on each side , L and R at the cutting tip . If it's the same height there will only be 1 mark...

Adapt your grease gun to suck it out.

I can enable or disable my MIR in seconds while mowing , yes sir , never leave the seat . Why doesn't anyone ever blame stupid accidents on alcohol but smoking catches hell ?

I'd be sucking out even if i had to modify my grease gun .

https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-d&q=needle+valve#vhid=7tWuX0nbZ99vjM&vssid=l&pvs=0 My choice is a needle valve . I've had one on 2 air tanks for 40 years The 2 i have withstood 1,500 lbs . The first biggest mistake people make with them is close 10X harder need be closed ...

Make yourself a water manometer and check crank case pressure .

I wish all of these lawn tractor wheels were bolt toge I wish all small wheels were 2 piece bolted . I was assigned a army jeep in 1959 with 2 piece wheels , easy .
