Stanley bought the trademark from Sears but in the deal, Sears can still use the name. Stanley and Sears make their own products and slap the Craftsman name on them. Safe bet you got this at Ace HW, Menards, or Lowes, etc. then it is a Stanley. As a result, each store gets items from their own...

The first American version of General Tso's chicken was in NYC. What's the difference where they are running the company from? They are still selling fried chicken and never have been making all of their chicken in Kentucky.

Did you look at ebay...

Maybe one alternative is\are "mittens?!?!" that they use in Taiwan on scooter handles\controls, being they ride year round??? Or else, if you can tap the heat from the exhaust to heat the handle....

I didn't put the filter back yet. It was only the second time it fired up. Notice the 2 screws missing, one that bolts the filter holder - throttle - shroud. Dirt- how many times have you come across something that has never been cleaned? Everyone here knows it is normal. I fired up the power...

Same. Almost all work fine. I just don't want to get someone to bet their business on one like I do as I do this as a hobby on stuff I find. Twice have I got a carb that didn't work- one time, they didn't drill the bowl's bolt. kbowley, You can pay me later.

are you referring to this: (see pic) Pros out there, don't hate me but I got one for a Kawi (Toro Turfmaster HDX.) from ebay... $12. Don't listen to me if it is for a customer...

What I did was look around for an engine with a similar piston diam and go with that. I recently got a generator with a chinese motor. Being they don't sell parts for it, I measured the cyl and did what I said. It worked. Same for my 70's FS80. ps. is the motor a HH or HM? I remember a catalog...

That's what I'm doing... I have 70's FS80s(among other old stuff). Would need my garage burn down to make me replace them.

Kind of a tangent but being cali and others are banning gas mowers, what electric mowers do commercial mowers have to pick from? I mean Greenworks mower??? Commercial??? They would probably go through 3 each season.

And that's why I ask being I am not a dealer.

I wonder, can he "upgrade" it to the old aluminum version??? Does it fit?

Just look up the parts list between the 2 mowers. Odds are they are the same as I recall honda had many variations of this type of mower. https://www.hondalawnparts.com/honda-hr21-hr214-hr215-hr216-lawn-mower-parts

I wonder if this is the same sales guy who called telling me my 96 Mitsubishi warranty is going to end soon...

If money is your issue, you could just make yourself one. I mean a paint can, drill 2 holes - 1 for extraction hose, 1 for vacuum to suck the oil out into the paint can. You can get fancy and get 2 rubber grommets for the holes.
