    Not the best Thanksgiving

    That's pretty old. I suppose a thorough check of the rest of the line is in order now. Hope you get lucky and figure out a way to clean it up instead of replacing it. Maybe a bigger hammer.

    Generac parts search

    The tank that I'm trying to repair, doesn't have a number stamped on it. The color, I'm assuming makes no difference, as it's the color of a gasoline can. So, I'm just gonna take a wild guess and assume the plastic will bond.. And also keep in mind @StarTech advice about getting it too hot. I...

    At my other shop, I had a couple of old fuel tanks I'd use just to have extra plastic. When I read something about using the same kind of plastic, It stuck in my head. I had black plastic (from the Craftsman under seat tanks). And the transparent under dash MTD tanks. This one is a red tank...

    Bad design? Cheap material?

    Hustler Raptor 933127. Rear tires leaning inward. There's a bolt missing out of one side of the crossmember. And the L brackets (from the frame) are bent. It looks to me like the L brackets are way to thin for this application. Bending them back, IMO wouldn't last long. Even with the bolt in...

    The grommet and L shaped fitting I'm using came from a ferris hydraulic tank I replaced a few months ago. It's sort of light red color. Being that it held hydraulic fluid, wouldn't that hold up to gas? After the incident with my oil extractor last week, (having a lot of gas in it, and it...

    CH23S Governor

    OK, now back to the governor problem. The carb issue turned out to be a bad solenoid. So I just snipped the end of it off. And it's working fine. The governor, I put a light spring to pull the governor arm back to low idle. That seemed to solved at least that problem. But now, I'm thinking...

    CH23S Governor

    This one will idle low. And pretty much stay there. The increases in RPM's is very slow. But amidst all this governor issue, I think it's developed a carb issue. Fuel pump is pumping. But the engine will now only run long enough to use up what gas is in the bowl. I don't think this is related...

    Craftsman Push Mower Model # 917.378900, when hot hard to start

    The old needle made the float hang down some. So I used the Amazon needle. I need to order some of those needles.

    Craftsman Push Mower Model # 917.378900, when hot hard to start

    No primer bulb. It has the auto choke system. Finally said screw it and put on an old carb from one of my parts mowers. Fired up and runs fine. Customer says this is the 3rd carb he's bought for it. Both new ones were from Amazon. I did put the needle from the Amazon carb into the old carb...

    E series plastic carbs

    Yes, it will keep running with carb spray. No, it dies just the same with the cap on or off.

    E series plastic carbs

    This has probably been discussed to the extreme But I just want to focus on the left hole in the venturee. According to Steve's Small Engine video, like me, I've found that sometimes the hole doesn't go all the way through to the hole coming from the bottom. And that either way, the engine runs...

    Laptop battery question.

    When I move the charging connection or the cord, the charging light by the connection doesn't change. When it's charging it's yellow. When it's plugged in, with low battery, it blinks white. But the light doesn't change when I move the cord.

    Laptop battery question.

    I just updated my "bios drivers." At least I think I did. Now it seems to be charging. So far, this thing seems to charge only when it wants to. I'm at 94% now.

    My dad was the expert tree guy. He owned a tree service in Dallas, back in the 80's. I only got about a month in the summer with him. Most days it was just hauling brush to the trailer. It fell where I planned it to fall. Not not when I planned it to fall. Darn thing was cut over 1/2 though on...

    Not giving up, BY GOD!!!!!!!!!

    When I first moved onto this property, there was a HUGE oak that needed to be cut down. I had it cut all the way through, on all sides, except for about maybe 2" in the center. (usually a saw way to small for it. Anyways, I had the limb cut off of one side, so all the weight was on the other...

    This tree could fall in any direction. Close to the pasture. Nothing for it to really fall on.

    I ran across this pic from a few years ago. Trying to cut this dead tree, and it just didn't want to give up. I finally got scared of it, and jus left it alone. A few hours later, the wind picked up and took it down.

    Customers.... Ugh

    Most of you probably have a customer (or 2 or 3 or 4) that doesn't understand the words "I'll call you when it's ready." I had this one that stopped by every dayum day for a solid two weeks to check on the status of his mower. Even when I'm lying under a mower, in plain sight of where he...

    Laptop battery question.

    The instructions say to turn all those off, and to make sure the settings are as such that the laptop uses up almost all the battery power, the first few cycles. I do get some sort of CMOS thing on start up. It says something about the BIOS. What ever the heck those are. Then restarts itself...

    Laptop battery question.

    I'm a lot better (at least a 3) fixing charging systems on mowers. I'm a flat zero on these things. :rolleyes: LoL, that's the reason I posted this question in this forum. Was searching through computer forum and just couldn't understand their language. It read like English. But too many big...
