    How to maintain variety of batteries

    I have a few different batteries from a generator to motorcycle to truck. Should I connect these to a trickle charger to maintain whatever health they have left and if so would a cheap solar charger suffice? And would I just connect them all up in series? Not exactly lawn related but you guys...

    Echo was working but suddenly no more

    I wish I'd started young. My grandpa was mechanically inclined shop hobbyist but not my father. Fortunately I ended up with some of my grandpa's interests but it's definitely harder to figure this stuff out later in life especially if you're not doing it every day I think I already mentioned I...

    Kohler Xt675 carb leaking out of the throat

    So where do you guys get your carbs and/or rebuild kits/parts?

    Kohler Xt675 carb leaking out of the throat

    To me it looks like both leaking and non-carbs hold air the same. I struggled with the new line not holding the air 100% but I cut it out of vid. But it looked pretty clear both confirmed leaking and not-leaking carbs hold the vac pressure the same. If there's nothing else it could possibly...

    Kohler Xt675 carb leaking out of the throat

    What's going on here with this hand vac? Is it supposed to leak as it does? I should be able to test the needle valve with it

    Kohler Xt675 carb leaking out of the throat

    So take note of how the one on the right, my latest one with the proper linkage, has this different needle valve and spring. The one on the left is an older one that doesn't have the linkage but it doesn't leak BUT without the linkage I think it is causing the rich issues I was having with it...

    Kohler Xt675 carb leaking out of the throat

    But it wouldn't work though in the same manner to test the pressure? It's only the same but in reverse. How do you use a pressure tester anyway? Is it gauge you use with some compressed air or... I don't have any. One thing I've been wanting for my lil shop for years is some compressed air...

    Kohler Xt675 carb leaking out of the throat

    I don't recall you giving me any docs on this carb. We were talking about my trimmer no?

    Kohler Xt675 carb leaking out of the throat

    One of these vac pumps work? If I lay the carb upside down so the bowl/valve sits in the seat and pump it up? I'll test the pump first on its own to make sure it's sealed

    Kohler Xt675 carb leaking out of the throat

    Any other possibility? I can't see how that could be it if it's sealing perfectly against my lungs. The seat is just a brass piece. The needle looks perfect. I suppose maybe not and the difference is just so slight. I'll look for rebuild kits cuz I also need bowl gaskets.

    Kohler Xt675 carb leaking out of the throat

    Can't figure out why this carb is leaking. It's my newest one so everything looks new but it leaks from the front out of the main jet. The little rubber stopper valve is a soft rubber I think works against me blowing into it. Any ideas?

    Echo was working but suddenly no more

    Quick update: started on first pull this morning. Got lucky on this one. So it must have just been water(fuel/oil) logged as this vid suggested Works like it did recently not perfect but with a liI playing with the adjustment screw can get the job done by will make sure my fuel/oil mix is...

    Echo trimmer string always running back into head

    Ah... Makes sense. And good news cuz I often look in my lawn at all the stray pieces like they're candy wrappers.That's why I see them all over the place! They're breaking off, not sucking back in. Good to know. They ought to put some nitrogen or mosquito killer in them too. Thanks for the info...

    Echo trimmer string always running back into head

    Keep in water? Really? Weird. So being old and brittle it just breaks there? I was thinking it was pulling in somehow. Interesting. Okay then. How about a little oil in the water? Keep it Nice and supple.

    Echo was working but suddenly no more

    Well I tried with a couple plugs, one new. Check the vid above a couple posts. I got fuel/oil coming out of the exhaust. Doesn't that mean there's a major issue with the piston? I've never dealt with oil coming out of the exhaust of a 2 stroke, so not sure what that means

    Echo was working but suddenly no more

    I have been and continue to be willing to provide all the necessary information to get help and THEN SOME. I learn by using my mind first foremost and last, being stupid and breaking things. Not following the orders of false authorities. I blew up my first mowers engine and also my truck's...

    Echo was working but suddenly no more

    Thanks. Yeah, I'm an ASS-umer. And it takes me a while to figure things out and I don't take spoon feeding. So I assume things til I learn for sure if I'm right or not. And yes I do need a lot of help and I'm 48 in a few months so thanks Dad. I WILL BE ABLE ask dumb questions though. I can't...

    Echo was working but suddenly no more

    Thanks for all your replies. Even from @Rivets but I'm going to look at yours separately as your a whole other conversation... Trimmer is old. But I've replaced the carb and associated parts. I've tried with three plugs and one new, two older. The "spark arrester screen"? If that's the thing...

    Don't scold me son! What do you mean I'm going to "get in trouble"? And that I shouldn't "assume" anything? If you have a brain you make assumptions.

    All generator, pressure washer and mower have the same carb!

    Hmm I actually need a jet and gasket for the mower one so we'll if either pressure washer jet or another mower carb jet I have works. And maybe I'll put on my reading glasses and see if I can see a difference

    All generator, pressure washer and mower have the same carb!

    Or so it seems to me. How interchangeable are these? If so that would be great for testing. My eyes are bad but they seem almost identical. BTW, am I right in thinking with my mower carb shown by itself has that extra linkage to have the throttle the default position choke spring closed where...

    Echo was working but suddenly no more

    I've got fuel(too much? seems leaking everywhere) and spark. Was working decent before after struggling with rear adjustment screw under primer, now suddenly it won't start. Tried with and without choke, with cover off. Seems to have compression as always. Tried with adjustment screw...

    Echo trimmer string always running back into head

    Why do these pull the string in so often making me have to take it apart and re-insert the string all over again? I push to let it out til it has to cut itself on the blade, perfect length then after some use one or both sides pull the string back in through the holes. Or what am I doing wrong?

    Craftsman trimmer no fuel?

    So I've got the old on there with the new one's diaphragm as the new one wouldn't start after a while anyway and as you can see it has that big yellow choke lever which is't compatible with the air filter cover without a Pita. Anyway the new diaphragm got it going but can't keep it going. Dies...

    Craftsman trimmer no fuel?

    Cool thanks. I'll look it over. What's "zama"? They make a lot of carbs we use?

    Craftsman trimmer no fuel?

    So what does this say about new carb being able to push fuel into the carb? It's it just going as far as the diaphragm? Where is this a "metering valve"
  44. J

    Craftsman trimmer no fuel?

    So just pushing air into the carb should NOT push fuel in as only suction through the diaphragm from the engine pulls fuel in?

    Craftsman trimmer no fuel?
