My problem is I never bothered reading the sizes after I buy them. And when I go to install new ones, I just match the old with the new and carry on.

I still have a pair of my brothers pliers in that safe place. He keeps asking about them and I keep telling him, "They're put up." I just don't remember where.

What sizes are the most common? 3/32" ID 3/16" & what?

Just trying help you through these hard times, man. You're welcome. :p

I happened on a box of Stens 2c fuel lines (115-512 True Blue) that I know can't be much more than 2yrs old. Probably 1 yr, now that I think about it. They've been under something else, so I didn't see them. None the less, I opened the box and they're hard already. I'm pretty sure they...

It all depends on the customer for me. If it's a new customer, and their "throw away" is within a year or two, I'll put a little effort into it. But they know it won't be much. I'll throw on a new plug, filter & lines. If the carb is bad, I'll put on a new Amazon carb. But I'm not going to...

Pretty good episode.

Sounds like you just need some of this.

Check out post 582 of this thread. It's what gave me the idea.

I'm thinking it's two pieces. Or the thread are gone.

That vent tube is always flooding. I adjusted the float height once, and it did fine for 1 mowing. I'll adjust it some more now the mower is down, waiting on the new fan.

I'm going to blame this on age and a memory lapse. I remember what happened to it now. Last summer, the vent hose that was connected to the top of the carburetor got pulled off when mulching leaves. The carb flooded and dripped onto the exhaust pipe and ignited. I was close to a water hose...

This fan can't blow onto the heads.

FD501V-CS00 E/No FD501V061146 For some reason, this fan (just below the radiator) had one fin that had dropped down, like it got hot. And was rubbing on the fan shroud. All the others were fine. No drooping at all. So I heated it up and bent it back up, so it wouldn't hit. Question is, is...

I get that, for sure. Can't have a predictor eating your food supply.

Yes. Once my dog got after a possum. Slung it around like a rag doll. I finally the dog off it, and had my son take the dog into the house. The smell wasn't pleasant at all.

I don't have any chickens. And I don't plan on putting my finger in it's mouth. And I'm NOT going to get a skunk. My cat would end up smelling up the house. Possums eat their weight in tics, fleas and other bugs. Including those german roaches you find in the woods. (that if they ever...

A little ditty about Carter Carburetor. Short, but interesting read.

For starters, I know they're supposed to be called "O possums." But it's 2024 in the US. I think we can get passed all that. :p So I caught this possum limping around on my back porch a couple of weeks ago. When I say limping, that's exactly what she was doing. Something is wrong with her...

It would seem that Walbro has been selling off for some time now. The Carlyle group was in the news pretty heavily a few years back. I don't remember why though. Note the date. 2012 The Carlyle Group Acquires Walbro Engine Management Sep 24, 2012 — Tucson, AZ – The Carlyle Group (NASDAQ: CG)...

When I was a kid, me and some friends went looking for some boxes to build a fort. We started at the "Unclaimed Freight" dumpsters. HOLY MOLY, this thing was FULL of great stuff, still in their original boxes. I got all excited because there was some stuff I knew my mom would really like. So...

I could've sworn I head a couple last night.

Anyone ever use that battery post red coating? It's too thin to be paint. I was wondering if spraying that on a wire connection would be beneficial. Spray it on, then use heat shrink over it.

Oh great. :rolleyes: This video states they're east of the Mississippi. But here in AR, they're loud and proud. And very annoying after 5 minutes.

My landlords pear tree didn't have a one on it last year. It bugged us all to death as to why. You just solved the mystery, Sherlock. Thanks.

There's a lot of bad ones out there because there's just soooo much money to be made on Youtube. Seriously, it's pretty easy to make $100K per year just posting everything from dumb stuff to really intelligent, informative stuff. It's pretty easy to weed out the dummy's.

Turns out, I've been crimping them upside down all this time. I always tugged on the wire, to make sure it was snug.

Some pretty good info in this.

Refuse to sell you mowers? They're losing money. That's retarded.

I did very well. I'd pick up mowers from many different places. Some customers had extra's they didn't want anymore. Sometimes when I was in the scrap yard, I'd see nice looking mowers that only needed a few things. (lot of those in the scrap yard). Put maybe $100 into it and sell it for $500...

There's way more money in selling used equipment than repairs. Just sayin.

That old John Deere of mine (LX188, with the 2cyl, & radiator engine) started tapping loud and fast. (RPM fast). It's been sitting all winter like that. And I haven't touched it. Now the weeds are starting to come up, and I know I've got to get on it. But I just can't seem to get myself...

4 types of mower owners

Ah, that "D" in between the Q & P. HFQPDB Harbor Freight Quality Pretty Darn Bad

I signed up for "Wish" when it first came out. They gave me a couple of trinkets just for signing up. It took like 2 or 3 weeks to get them in. So, I never bought anything else. The ex bought quite a bit of stuff from Wish. She said it took so long to get the stuff she bought, that by the...

I've not heard anything good about Temu yet. I've got Walmart+ & Amazon. And sometimes Ebay. I don't need any more.

I've been watching Columbo on my ROKU lately. Love this show.

Was their a sporting event involved in this? :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

Part 2

This is pretty interesting. Maybe it'll save some folks some money.

I'm so going to do this. Try to get the washer off.

I'd definitely want something other than copper or cheap cast.
