https://www.ebay.com/itm/145100565881 I have used quite a few aftermarket carb solenoids. They are just as crappy as OEM when you leave gas in them too long.

This?

LOL Don't mention COBOL, Fortran and punch cards around my wife. It will give her nightmares. She worked with that stuff at NCR way back when.

Yeah. The crimper he is using is made to crimp ground sleeves. These https://www.homedepot.com/p/18-10-AWG-Copper-Crimp-Sleeve-Wire-Connectors-100-Pack-SB1810/303999146 Not insulated terminals. They need one like this...

Where is SWO?

I wonder how well the blades with star holes balance on a nail 🤣🤣🤣

Didn't want to tell ya but that one gal was a dude. 😱

Can't resist... Hey Scrub! My tools are better than your tools. I know 😜

Interesting thread. I have a crap load of craftsman tools. I have a 5 gal bucket of extra sockets and a half bucket of wrenches. I have used and abused craftsman tools for 50 years. Most of them made by Easco. Never had a problem getting one replaced when it was over abused (you do what you...

You just don't know what fun is until you work on the world's first color copier with time shared wiring and technology developed in the 60's. Before microprocessors so a horrendous logic chip package running it with no diagnostics. Worst piece of feces I ever worked on. My world in 1980. Was...

I thought I was special when I moved up from a UDS 300 baud to a Hays 1200 baud modem. In 1976 in the service we had just moved from 5 level baudot punch tape to 8 level ASCII which came out in 1963.

For many years all I could get was DSL at about 2 to 4 mbps. Got starlink about a year ago and now average 100 mbps. Internet price doubled but was worth it.

Seems everyone with a utube channel is an expert. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Those get bent all the time. Bend it back close to straight a be careful hitting the deck on the right side. Just a poor design.

Be sure to install NEW plugs.

Try this. Install NEW spark plugs. Disconnect the coil kill wires. Remove air cleaner and spray about a 2 second shot of starting fluid into carb. Don't choke it. Try to start engine. If engine fires up and runs for a few seconds you have spark on at least one cylinder and valves are close...

If you read the BS post #6 a link to a robot mower is there. It all smells like bad fish.

What you are doing is just fine.

You're fine. Just no long periods idling and always mow at full throttle.

When someone brings in a ryobi or the like I used to replace fuel lines if that was all it needed. Not any more. I don't work on them at all anymore.

Reads like a canned PR statement

If the compressor is being vented when engine goes to idle maybe the engine idle speed too low possibly? There shouldn't be much load from the compressor at idle if it is being vented. Not sure what's going on.

I want a V10 on my big urban assault vehicle.

Yup!

I do charge for time to remove/destroy/break off fasteners. I work on lots of old stuff and I have an induction heater, impact tools and an oxy propane torch so most rusted nuts and bolts don't give much trouble. What I spend time on is tiller tines and rear wheels on some riding mowers.

My 1990 GMC2500 with a 350 and TH400 nonlockup torque converter and 3.73 rear end got 9mpg empty or with a 4000lb camper in the bed and towing a boat. My new, 2018 truck, gets an average of 18mpg.

I think it is. Started out life as a 4.3L (265) V8 then went to 5.7L (350) then got 2 cylinders chopped off to a 4.3L (262) then a computer, fuel injection and variable valve timing. Just one of the evolutions of the small block chevy.

Take your pick

My 1990 GMC pickup with a 5.7 V8 had 195hp. My 2018 GMC pickup with a 4.3 V6 has 285hp according to GM My son's Q50 Red Sport has a 400hp 3.0L V6. Why he needs that is a mystery to me.

Been fixing mowers as a side hustle business since the early 90's. Retired 5 years ago and took the mower shop full time.

I worked for Xerox for 40 years. Only serviced xerox equip. Serviced everything from the old stuff where solid state meant a light bulb to multi million dollar color production printers with over 100 circuit boards in them and a Leibert environmental system built into it.

I have used a lot of Raisman chainsaw parts with no issues.

Back in the day when I serviced their copiers I was in the Dayton police building so often I didn't bother going through the metal detector at security. They would just wave me through and I had almost all the door codes to the secure areas. If I got a parking ticket in the city I just took them...

That is where the the compressor vents when the pilot shifts to idle. If you pull the line from the check valve it should unload the compressor and not stall the engine when it shifts to idle.

Don't think I have seen one do that. Just for grins pull the small line off the 19 check valve and see what happens when it kicks down to idle.

When the engine stops the tank shouldn't be venting. Where is the air venting from with the engine stopped? Number 19 is the check valve. It is very common for those to leak. When they leak it can screw up what the pilot valve does as it leaks pressure back into the compressor. looks like the...

Still sounds like the pilot/unloader is not venting the compressor when it goes to idle.

If you take the belt off does the engine idle ok with the control pulled to idle position?

I have the battery HF Earthquake 1/2 impact and a 3/8 Milwaukee impact that handles the day to day stuff. I only bust out the IR air gun for the stupid tight type stuff. If the HF doesn't take it off in 10 seconds I get the IR. Usually takes longer to get it out and hookup the air line than it...

Many of my friends have different politics and beliefs than mine. We get along just fine because we treat each other with kindness and respect and by not trying to change each others politics or religion or prove who is right. Believe what you want and vote how you want and respect others...

Most of the homeowner mowers use some type of star center so they are not self tightening. When a cust hits something and twists the blade on the star and makes it super tight it's going to get a new spindle and blade so I don't care how bad the impact tears it up getting it off. In the last 5...

Never believe a politician Never believe the media Never discuss politics or religion I'm just as right as you are

There is usually a vent on the unloader valve that vents at idle.The valve below might be the the over pressure blow off. Not sure where the unload vent is on that one. Have you adjusted the pilot valve?

36 is the pilot unloader valve

Gas powered compressors usually have some type of unloader connected to the throttle control that vents the output of the compressor that is still turning although at a lower speed. If it doesn't vent the head pressure it can kill and idling engine.

When it cuts back to idle does it unload and vent the compressor output?

I guess I could get a job at the dealership if I started lifting weights.

First clean both ends of the negative ground cable. When you turn the key to start do you get 12v from the solenoid trigger wire and ground? If no troubleshoot the start safety circuit. If yes does solenoid engage? (Hear it clicking) If solenoid engaging do you 12v to ground on both large...
