See post #21. As I mention there, it's not entirely intuitive as most forum software just has a CANCEL button right next to the POST REPLY that takes care of the issue. The solution is already posted to the Community section. Cheers!

You made me question my advice to just pull the cap....see post #57. Thanks!

Grab the cap and pull it off...won't get shocked unless you want to stick your finger in the end...🤔 The voltage isn't enough to each around the insulated cap. Many of the really old cables just had a bare metal clip that attached to the plug. If you have that I'd be surprised. However, in...

How many hours on this engine.....

Now is the time to take the belt to a shop that has a belt measuring stick and see if it really is 95.5 inches.

Like being a parts cannon, eh? Isolate then buy. Don't just throw crap at it till you know what it is....

Engine Options: Kawasaki, Kohler & Briggs...never offered with a Yamaha.

Do this.....get a sheet and a flashlight.....sit under the sheet on a solid floor because those springs will launch to God knows where sometimes. I "lost" one spring but knew the last thing it hit was metal after bouncing off the ceiling and eventually found it in the top of my tool chest. Work...

Ignore the bad spark tester, good spark tester argument for the moment. While running pull the plug cap off one plug and note how it runs. Replace it and pull the other one. If there is a coil failing one of the two will cause a really rough running, skipping engine and the other might not (rare...

Posted a question about how you dismiss a REPLY "quoted text" box if you change your mind and decide not to reply..... This is solved.....If you decide to not reply after all you must first POST the reply, even if blank, and then use the DELETE function of the POSTED reply to kill the...

No, I know you're not...this software is counter intuitive to any other I've encountered. When you hit REPLY to a post, does it not bring up the greyed out original post as "quoted text" and allow you to "associate" your reply with that? Yes it does. But if you change your mind there is no way...

Try it. Then try to dismiss the reply page. What you get is the quoted text box without any associated reply. I guess you've never changed your mind.....lucky you.

It's solved. A counter intuitive way to do things....when you hit REPLY then change your mind you have to POST REPLY anyway. There is no other option. Then the posted reply has the DELETE option that kills the post. My guess is the programmer already had the post number (in the upper right of...

Yes....you can do that but the original quoted message still remains on the screen and cannot be dismissed. If I wanted to I can build a huge chain of REPLY blocks, each with its own reply/message number and there's no way to dismiss any of them. Not that I would do that but it's an interesting...

You just repeated everything I said...
