That's almost identical to the way I use to make them. I've just found this new method of whisking first, then mixing everything in the mixer, makes the patties stick like glue. It doesn't miss a spot of meat. I usually stick the skillet out on the porch for the night. The critters do 95% of...

This method will make your burgers so sticky, there's no chance they'll ever break apart. In fact, if you accidently get some on your hands, it's kind of hard to get off. Anyone who prepares their own hamburger patties, know that sometimes they don't always stick together when you're cooking...

This darn squirrel and Abigail, is going to be the death of me. The squirrel is a gift from the taxidermist, for sending her a bunch of pelts. But Abigail doesn't want it on the mantel at our new ranch. So she hides it.

Those look like they'd work. But there's an 1/8th" ridge in the middle of the drawer. It looks like these frames would wobble.

So I'm doing some side work for a lady, painting and such, and she give me this old 3 drawer Steel works metal file cabinet. I get it home, open it up and realize there's nothing to hang files on. I used to have one just like this, but never paid attention to what held up the files. The sides...

My horse just won't let me have a moments peace........ LOL

A lot of games on the market now, are just as boring as games like that back in the day. If I hadn't found RDR2 last year, I'd probably have found something else to do. But I'm glad I found it. It's been many MANY hours of fun and entertainment. It's like a good movie. As good as Lonesome...

This is available on Prime. Probably others. It's been forever since I watched this. Some of the comedy is a lot more clever than I remembered. I just picked one.

So I'm collecting certain bird plumes for a collector, that pays really well for them. I shot a "Reddish Egret" over the water. I know this part of the lake is filled with gators, so I snagged a boat to row out and retrieve it. Just as I'm about to jump out of the boat & get...

Doesn't the same effect on the coil happen when you run a 2 cylinder on only one plug wire. As in removing one plug wire, starting it, then repeating the process with the other side? The electricity being created by the coil with the disconnected plug wire has to go somewhere also. Right?

.02 isn't exactly right. But it's not enough to really be concerned about. It' wasn't a sloppy .06.

Any tips on removing a plug wire while the engine is running. I know that sounds like a rookie question. But the first and only time I've done it (decades ago), I got the fire knocked out of me, and never tried it again.

I checked them. They're fine. .06.

I didn't mess with that part of the carb. As I didn't have replacement gaskets. And mainly because the rest of the carb was just too clean to think there was any need to get into that far.

Yes, sprayed carb cleaner through every hole, keeping an eye on the stream that comes out the other end. Especially to two ports that come out into the venturi. Ran the guitar strings and probes through the holes and the jets. Replaced one intake mounting gasket. It was very clean.

There was no water in the carb. It's kept under a car port. But here in Arkansas, that doesn't mean much, as we have high humidity all year long

I got the new tester in (after I returned it). When I get back over there, I'll see what the spark looks like. Customer says it's funning fine now. But I'm thinking she just can't hear what I hear.

I checked the valves, they were at .06. Close enough.

The one I got from harbor freight seems to be pretty accurate. I took it to a place that sells batteries and it was pretty close to their readings. As far as being bad or not.

That's the way I like it. It only takes a couple of vehicles or 1 semi to eliminate almost all the grass on the roads. Personally, I think if a biker loses control because of grass clippings, they probably shouldn't be on a bike.

One thing I noticed about this engine with the bad coil....... It didn't backfire.

Thank you. Also @Auto Doc's @Forest#2 and the others for this imput. That explains what I'm missing. Tester ordered.

True that. But what I'm supposed to be looking at is gaps between sparks, instead of a constant blinking, correct? Even with the junk ones like I have, these gaps are visible. I did notice some gaps in the spark. But they didn't coincide with the backfiring. As in many times there was several...

With the spark testers I have, I see no formidable differences between either side. Note: They're not adjustable air gap spark testers. But I they do show when exactly the voltage comes through. Both sides glow bright.

Here's the video. I'm not touching the throttle. The RPM's went down on their own. A few seconds later, they came back up.

The carb is clean as a whistle. Even the bowl had almost nothing in it. The valves were at about .06. So I didn't mess with them.

Tried your suggestion but, nothing changed. But I have a side question about what happened when I tried this. With the wires disconnected from the coils, then turning the key off, 3 seconds later, the engine dies on it's own. Reconnected the coil wires, then turn the key off, it dies right...

Oh lord. I hope not.

407777 0188 B1 On a service call, started out, this thing ran like crap. Lot's of back firing through the exhaust. After about 10 minutes of it running & mowing, it seemed to clear up. It was still backfiring, but in spurts, it would completely clear up for several seconds. Maybe even a...

I sure miss my old parts girl at O'Reilly's. She came from Car Quest from back in the 90's. Sharp as a tack with parts & part numbers. I told her (jokingly) back then I wanted to marry her. And it's been a running joke for about 30yrs now.

After I confirmed that the pulley I needed was a V pulley, it clicked as to why there was no B dimension. IMO, the parts person should've known this.

On my own mower, I have a file that I keep that sort of info in. Including an updated list on the parts I've replaced. I used to do that with all my customers. It was tedious. But well worth it when they came back for repairs or warrantee's.

Nailed it.

They should know how to look up their own parts better than us.

I always joke with the kids at the automotive parts stores when they start asking all those questions about the vehicle I'm ordering parts for. When I've given them everything, I always throw in "And the antennae is on the right." What was confusing was that this used to be a V pulley. Without...

Thanks man. I found everything I needed yesterday. I was just brain tired and hoping the Stens lady would solve this one last issue. I felt like I was more of a "parts specialist" than she was. lol

It just dawned on me. I probably thought about the drive belt because it's the name of this thread. DUH!!!!!!!!! It's been a long hot day. I'm ready for a shower, some supper and some RDR2.

I thought about the drive belt binding it, for a few seconds. Because that's the only other thing left. But dismissed it, because it doesn't seem like it could bind anything. That's a weird one.

I'm glad you posted that. I was just about to start looking for a new computer, because mine won't take windows 11. For some reason. I think I'll keep watch a good deal. Been thinking about a gaming computer.

Rough hot day. Fed up with the way things were going. Like lay a wrench down, and it suddenly appears on the other side of the shop, type day. So since stens apparently haven't updated their JD part numbers or something, I called to ask about this idler I pulled off a LA145. Thinking since I...

I thought there was something wrong with the muffler, because it sounds a little like a chainsaw.
