    $40 Craigslist-find HR215 giving my 3y/o HRC216 a run for its money?

    I'm a big fan of my HRC216, but I admit its flaws. I bought mine brand new about 4 years ago, and it's been sturdy and reliable. But I always felt the motor was a bit weak. I guess I chalked it up to trading raw power for refinement and elegant design. I mean, this thing ain't meant to hack...

    FB460v governor issues

    Dragged a Gravely 36 mower back home. Mower looks good overall, but was a "guy who used to live here left it behind" type deal. No recoil starter (let met know if you have a spare!) so I'm using rope to start it. Cleaned carb and got it running on its own. Without tinkering, it ran way too...

    FS94R carb adjustment? Only one screw? Is there a limiter?

    Saw an FS94R listed for sale on craigslist. $20! Typical Harry Homeowner situation. The mfg date says 2014, but the machine looks nearly mint. Barely used. The owner said it wouldn't start, and he prefers electric tools anyway. So here we are! It had gas (unknown age) on it, then I added my...

    FS85X just does not want to tune in properly

    TL:DR; Running issues with FS85X Current main issue is that it hangs down load. Lean out L mix screw, idle falls until it's about to stall, but if I enrichen the L mix screw, it revs up again. Seems to be no happy medium. Backstory: Last year I saw a used Stihl FS85X on craigslist...

    Can someone give me the lowdown on Stihl's shaft profiles and gearbox attachments?

    I recently picked up a used Stihl "pole saw". The craigslist ad said it ran great! Telescoping model that extends to like 15 feet or something crazy. $200! WOW. Then I noticed it had a hedge trimmer head on it. Hmm...kinda weird, but it was the 135° degree articulating variety. Didn't know...

    HRC215 bent crank!

    I found this older Honda commercial, HRC215 and jumped on it. It was for sale cheap, looked dang good in pictures, and the seller said everything worked. "No funny vibrations, right?" 'It has a very slight buzz because it's older. You won't even notice it!' Hmmm.... Well, he's wrong, because...
