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...

Just did annual maint on a cub cadet Z that was serviced by the dealer last year. Had to almost destroy the oil filter to get it loose. Spark plugs were in WAY to tight. Washers on plugs were smashed way too flat. Impact finally got the blade nuts off but had to replace the nuts because the...

Ordered a Hogue grip for my Super Redhawk from Amazon. First one I got was for a Super Blackhawk. Second one was for a Redhawk. Gave up and got one from Midway.

Hahaha🤣

How 'bout them KC Chiefs?

Still trying to figure out which will end the world first. An asteroid or global warming or politicians. Time to see how much bottled water, cans of spam and toilet paper I have.

I would bet lunch the belt was routed wrong around a belt keeper. Just sayin'

Everyone is entitled to their version of the truth.

I have an old screwdriver I rounded off that I use with WD40.

Folks make that mistake all the time.

Ok.

I guess I will find out. After I figure out why the goofy clutch doesn't work he wants me to see about getting the 16hp briggs running and putting it on the crawler. He wants electric start. Not a single wire on the crawler so I have to fab up all the wiring.

I may have a very similar pooped on pro saw on the scrap pile. Let me take a look and see if it is the same.

Guy dropped this off today. Mead Mighty Mouse crawler. From '59 or '60. Has not run for many years. Lots of stuff to work on. He has 2 of these.

In the 80's my wife's little town in west BFE still had manual long distance billing through the operator till General Telephone was consumed by Ohio Bell. You had to tell the local operator what your number was and the long distance number you were calling and she timed the call and wrote it...

Toby and joe Diffie were two of my favorites. Can't stand the new so called country stuff.

The real question is did he have a man bun?

How hard do you run the engine? Does it run poorly? Smoke? Many folks mistake a rich mixture for spark plug(s) being the incorrect heat range for how the engine is operated. If an engine is operated where the spark plug(s) tip is not reaching about 900 degrees F it will not be in the self...

At a place called brookville lake it always sounds like frying eggs near the power line and most nights you get a nice purple light show. And you usually see about a hundred sea gulls on the wires pretty much anytime.

He may have the gasket wrong blocking the impulse hole
