    Old Tillotson Carb leak

    Because it is a general adhesive question, not a specific Tillotson question. I looked around and found adhesive at an auto paint store that is safe with fuel.

    Old Tillotson Carb leak

    Where the hose connects is a 90deg elbow. The elbow turns freely. It also leaks fuel. If I add epoxy, will it solve my problem or break off and leak again eventually??? TIA.

    What markets do they sell this at?

    Back from Taiwan again. I've seen these from Stihl and now Zenoah(husq). Curious- what other countries do they sell this? Australia? Europe? Never seen these in the States. FYI: they use them to cut laws - no mowers

    Looking for Piston Rings Part 36078

    What I did was look around for an engine with a similar piston diam and go with that. I recently got a generator with a chinese motor. Being they don't sell parts for it, I measured the cyl and did what I said. It worked. Same for my 70's FS80. ps. is the motor a HH or HM? I remember a catalog...

    That's what I'm doing... I have 70's FS80s(among other old stuff). Would need my garage burn down to make me replace them.

    GREENWORKS TOOLS - after 3 1/2 years

    Kind of a tangent but being cali and others are banning gas mowers, what electric mowers do commercial mowers have to pick from? I mean Greenworks mower??? Commercial??? They would probably go through 3 each season.
