So I had a bit of difficulty removing the factory installed Briggs oil filter the other day. I had to break out a strap wrench to get it off. Given the heat these engines generate even if you put it on hand-tight like you're supposed to you still may have difficulty removing the filter and need...

Yeah because who am I to question a guy that never actually uses the equipment he works on, right? Never said I knew it all. I posted an "FYI" thread. You're the one that showed up defending a notoriously inferior product with years of experience "fixing" and never actually using equipment...

You're kidding now, right? I assure you, you "calling me out" was never a second thought. You couldn't possibly matter less to me without pharmaceuticals. It's called stating the obvious. Most people got it the first time they read it, but with you I seem to have hit a nerve, lol. Folks can...

I was just kidding. I have a family member with 40 years in the business as well. He gives me crap about my fanatical maintenance habits too. I've been that way since I let someone change my oil one afternoon, had a street race that night, won, but threw a rod in the process. Oh the sound gives...

The Champions are in the NGK boxes and sitting in my tool box because I already planned to compare them should the problem return. I also said under 5 hours because I was too lazy to go check the meter. It was more like 2.5-3 at the time of the swap. I have the exact number in a log out in the...

^^^^ That right there is why I will NEVER bring a piece of equipment into a shop.

Hmm, no, we'll know. Obviously I didn't have the new plugs on hand when I pulled the existing ones to check them. Gaps were both .03 and with less than 5 hours they were already covered in carbon. They ran the same way when they went back in, as Champions typically do, with both connections...

I just bought this thing (less than 5 hours) and noticed a rough idle to the point where there was a knocking noise from something shaking underneath. So I swapped in some NKG Iridiums (BKR5EIX). Now it purrs like a kitten. Champion plugs are great......... for throwing at windows and that's...

Thank you! Nah it's loaded, and I verified it with a little starting fluid. Nothing. The plug is sparking as well. That thing was behaving like a Keystone cop for a year before it died. One silly issue after another. I ended up replacing it with a commercial ZT this year and it was like going...

Is there an easy way maybe at the main harness to disable all safety switches for testing purposes? My LTX-1040 was running one day, started bucking like it was an electrical issue, and just died. No engine noise or anything. Just sudden death. So I'm about 99% sure the issue is electrical. I...
