    Help with Stihl FS55R

    You mention you checked the spark arrestor...could you see through the screen? Is your machine low hours? I have a Combi that was acting up last fall and would be very slow to accelerate. This spring I couldn't get it to run above idle, couldn't actually get it off choke. It was a clogged...

    BG-86 BG86 Carb Adjustment Tool - Stihl# 59108902314

    With all due respect, you could also have been a bit more helpful. I read the entire 6 pages of threads. It would have been helpful if you defined what a "reasonable price" was to you. Not knowing where you live does make a difference too. Canadian dollars are different and the east and west...

    Dead spots after winter w/ 2 dogs

    We have the same thing happen but to a lesser degree, not as bad of burning. We get it in the summer but not nearly as bad as the winter. It would seem the concentration of your dog’s urine is also very high. You might also check that the water intake of your dog or dogs is adequate and ask...

    No oil change?

    Manufacturers aren’t that stupid. They are made up of people like you and I! I think you might not be realizing some of the points some of the others have already made. Even before the no-oil-change small engines were released, there were a significant number of owners not changing their oil...

    Trying to decide between 2 21" mowers.

    Or sell it for twice what everyone’s asking for all the other overpriced used Honda’s, buy a clean used/never used Toro from Facebook Marketplace, never have an issue for 25 years, and pocket the $500 you have left over!

    Trying to decide between 2 21" mowers.

    Just my personal opinion, but I would go with a Toro (from an actual mower dealer, not a big box store) versus a Honda. I bought my mom and stepdad’s old Super Recycler when it was about 5 years old, they moved and needed a tractor, and I used it for about another 15 years until the...

    DC Voltage Output

    You know, if you can’t say anything useful or helpful, just don’t say anything at all. And some feedback for you: volts and amps are also units of measurement that come from a multimeter, i.e. Fluke sells “multimeters.” You did confirm. You were doing it wrong all those years too...

    briggs horizontal opposed 18hp twin spewing oil out the intake.

    Along the lines of what Rivets said, also check your fuel pump if it’s a vacuum-operated one. If it has failed internally and fuel can enter the crankcase, when the engine is shut down, gasoline could have filled the crankcase. Then when you try to start it, you’ll blow oily gas out the intake...

    crankshaft ID/dimensions

    Hi guys. I have a Craftsman leaf vacuum with a 190cc B&S Quantum 6.5 hp engine on it, the engine is dusted out, got it from my old neighbors. I want to just replace the engine. The engine numbers are 123k02-0332-E1 04080458. That decodes to crankshaft part number 694478. These are so common on...
