I'm right over by Will Rogers airport on the west side...let us know what JD has to say....

I guess it's too hard to fire it up in idle and when "surging" and place both thumbs over the holes and see if it smooths out..... I'll bet the oil issue is unrelated.

You mean "premium" as in price? Well, if you're using less per gallon of gas, but you'd need 2x+ as much of the other stuff....is the price per gallon of gas the same or less. And generally price is not the driver. Do the rings stay free? Do you have to decarbon routinely? Do the plug(s)...

As tho the ground is always level. 🤫🤔

They move.....

I can and I did. Multi cylinder vs single is not such a stretch. Both will be down on power and the single more so but it will run at 70. Saying it won't isn't true.

Use what you have where you are. 👍 Used to use my JD 5303 and a Bush Hog 7 foot trailing to do an 2300 foot grass runway. Worked as well as any other type of mower when set up properly.

I have a Tanaka Japanese made trimmer from 1999 for $180 or so. Came with 7 year residential warranty. Still the original head on 5.5 acres, including the neighbor's shitty chain link fence. Maybe about the same number of tanks of fuel or a bit more depending on rainfall. Sadly, now out of business.

They sell thermally resetting fuses...mostly for automotive but works for anything else as well. The time between the event and reset allows everything to cool off.

Coil replacement. If needed.....

Oil is not the problem....

Vapor lock....

Well, that's crap....Continental aircraft engines minimum equates to 40 psi by differential test. 70 is fine for a decompression released engine.

Are the bearings plain or ball? Ball bearings were introduced sometime in the 1920s to 1930s...you have to do a patent search to see who claimed to be first or at least had the idea. Needle bearings came along later in the 1930s and40s. My guess is that anyone recommending 16:1 was specifying...
