I have a problem\question on the trigger. It starts but when i squeeze the trigger nothing happens. I opened it and see a slot but nothing to catch the "ball" at the end of the cable. Can someone post a diagram so I can see what is supposed to be pulling the cable when i squeeze the trigger?? TIA.

Just to clarify: 1) “… TCP/IP and that came fro CERN in Switzerland “ 2 men from IBM(USA) wrote TCP/IP. It was approved as a standard in Switzerland like WIFI, USB, ISA, PCI, etc + many other standards(IT wise). 8) ….every Australian was deemed to have equal rights to a telephone . ( never...

The federal government has a full count of people who die on their site. it is lower than the previous year. Media made the virus bigger than it really was. (CNN was caught admitting just that) That's all i am pointing out. So I guess I am part of the conspiracy. I could go on further on false...

When u squeeze the trigger and release it. The throttle that turns returns to its position in the pic and hits a screw. Adjust that screw.

Did u look at the CDC site on TOTAL-TOTAL-ANY CAUSE of how many people died in 2020 vs '19 and '18. The total deaths were lower than '19. Pandemic.... I'll stop there.

Slomo, the TankWeld is the type of product I was referring to. Ill look for the Tankweld type. Sorry, I did not remember what it was called but i did see it before so Scrub reminded me of it. I was also looking around to cut off the bent threads and found gas tank cap and bung - don't ask, i...

Scrub gave me an idea(Thanks Scrub) of using a "stick" adhesive being it is harder so i think would hold its shape easier than goo. These threads are really messed up and the fact it is a tiller so it will bounce around and splash under use. Ill try the stick in a few days. Thanks Guys.

I just got a 70's briggs engine(8hp updraft fyi) where the threads on the steel gas tank are messed up. Any ideas on how to fix the threads? I was thinking if there is a pair of pliers with jaws to reform the threads...Does one exist??

Give me til tonight. Ill post my pic of my Tecumseh. Yours might not have the mark but at least with my pic u can see what position your crank should be in.

Lead acid batteries have different ideal charging voltage than the original battery type. Do some hunting for computer UPS batteries as I am sure u can get one that fits for less than $58. This one is close to what would fit. https://www.altex.com/12v-2.2ah-sealed-lead-acid-battery-w-f1-terminals

I fiddle my stuff and swap\modify parts here and there. As I mentioned before I have the McCul 510. While i got mine to work by rebuilding the carb(i think i got my kit from Randy...) I still have 1 quark with it that it won't idle(yes, i replaced all seals among other things). -SO- being a...

Other than replace the LM21(mine is '80s ish) back around 2016. The LM21 was like a Snapper(built like a tank) lite but still very good construction. I hope yours is still the same.

Maybe. I would check if there is play in the pinion shaft or the wheel itself. Some play and it can easily skip a tooth or not mesh properly thus making noises.

While people say carb cleaner\starting fluid will ruin motors, only if u run it for 10 min straight maybe. I use it all the time when i fiddle with stuff and have never ruined any. If I DO spray it numerous times, i just add some motor oil to the cyl itself JIC before going back and trying to...

While not the cheapest route but great for a bind(as was how i learned this) Home Depot sells carb kit that included 2 primers - one of which fits yours.

I got a McCul 510. the motor is similar to yours. First, loosen the gas cap and try it- your carb should only have 1 hose from the tank. Maybe the cap is plugged and not venting. Mine would run but i couldn't restart it. I found the plug was wet - running rich. I then experimented closing the...

Does Toro still use a belt in the blade stop? I ask if they change it because the honda is a PITA when it wears out vs buying a $8 v belt if the toros (that i've seen) saw ever wear out. I've seen hondas that broke\wore out though...

Anyone ever try one of these to knock loose a snapped exhaust bolt??? https://www.homedepot.com/p/TEKTON-3-8-in-Drive-Impact-Screwdriver-Set-7-Piece-2905/205674679 Cut a slot for the "screwdriver". Pounding it can knock the bolt loose???

Maybe they want to be like Mercedes - make it expensive to repair.(That explains why there are so many at junkyards for parts) So long as people whose item breaks say "May I please have another", the makers don't care if not laugh.

Sorry, naked chicks on Snap-on\Cornwell\MAC\etc. calendars, I'd rather talk about that...

You are looking in the wrong place. You need to watch which company makes the best commercial with the coolest looking engine in them. THAT will get you the super duper bestest oil...

I have a used pair if u r interested. 1 wheel is bald but the other one looks like 0 miles.

How attached to this edger are you? In my area you can find an edger like this for $20 left and right. Someone even had McLane edgers for $20 posted for over 1 month. I'm all for fixing old broken stuff but upgrading for the same if not less $$ is tempting.

"21 super recycler, 1 year or so old." It might be a little too late but isn't your mower covered for 2 years?

Personal advice - don't buy the mowers to fix and sell. Doing so, as u learned, parts kill any profit. The ones i get\fix\resell, I only pick up if complete and decent looking as a minimum. Although if the engine looks and pull feels good, then get it only to remove and test\cleanup\sell the...

I have yet to create that problem with them. The only carb I have ever had that happen was the Tecumseh VLV plastic carb and I didn't need to use these to clean out passages. As always, to each his own.

I use these: cleaner Sometimes, I need to file the passage to remove deposits.

On mine, the pressure relief(unloader) was stuck open. Find the spring. The nut applying pressure to the spring, loosen the nut. Hit the trigger a few times. Doing so on mine got the 'plunger' of the unloader to move knocking it loose and working properly. If still no go, remove the whole...

Is it working at all? weak but some pressure?? When u pull the trigger do u hear anything change?

I got mine off a used Sears mower. That's where i got the keystart, charging, etc cables and the electric start Quantum motor itself from. Ask around, maybe you can find a shop that will part mowers that owners don't want fixed.

They have been doing that since the late 80s. I mean Japanese brand VCRs started showing up from china since if not before the early 90s.

Nikon made their cameras there, hard drives were made there, it is the "Detroit of Asia"(for those of you who own a mercedes, look up where all body panels+ other mercedes parts are made...) All of these plus more are made in Thailand so I don't think they can be that bad.

Does anyone have a Husqvarna k760 saw or similar that is hosed that I could buy some parts off of?? specifically https://www.ereplacementparts.com/husqvarna-k760-power-cutter-parts-c-114486_118655_198127.html parts 8-10+ the bolt. Please PM me. Thx.

Depends- if yours is a Wisconsin engine, then it is awfully hard to find parts but take care of it and it should last many more years. If it is a Tecumseh you should find parts as needed.

So what is not correct? I use 40. I said nothing about how my oil compares to straight 40 or 10w30 weight oil 40weight oil is thicker than 30 when hot and my stuff rattle less because of it. Last time i checked I cut my grass longer than 1 minute so cold viscosity is a moot point. I change my...

Alot of stuff i own are 80's ish, a few 70's. I use at lease 10w40. It being thicker helps alot to minimize alot of the rattling.

Just stopped running with no spark. Tried swap sparkplug. Troubleshooting, I checked the points gap, and resistance open infinite and 0 when closed- being i disconnected the ground and from the ignition coil. I tried swapping the condenser(with a new one) - i want to test that R goes up but i...

What engine parts do u have?

Last time i checked, the needle has the rubber tip so there is no seat to replace.

I can say i had one that is similar to yours but was a Sears like this: Sears Rider Mine was from 70 if I am correct at reading the Tec serial number on mine. If yours has the original motor, that SN should give u a year of make.

From personal experience, my 3000gt is 23 yo now. back when it had 160K miles i had to take a cyl head off due to a coolant leak. When I did so, I was amazed to see that the cyl hatch marks on the cylinder wall were still there and consistent all throughout the cyl. of course usually these are...

I like them. I have them on my 80's sears mowers and only ever needed to change oil and add gas. Borrow a cyl compression test tool from car parts store and test it before u buy it. If it has the charging wire, test that it puts out 14/15ishVolts. Listen for any loud rattling noises and it not...

I can hear them - the high pitch and pulsing and all. They are annoying. They work for me...I don't relieve myself on my neighbors lawn and all.. There is an indian neighbor that keeps crapping on a common area in my neighborhood. I drive by now and then watching him watch me as his dog is...

HH\Salvation Army has a cure for your problem. It is called a price tag. One of the side affects from this treatment tends to be Frustration- typically with the phrase 'you want this much for this piece of sI#I?'. As always, nothing is perfect as Salvation Army left a Ariens Snowblower out back...

You can test it to find out if it also is a breather. If this is where a 3/32" tube connects, I had a few of them - blowers and Ariens mower. All of mine they act as breather also. I think car parts store has a cap you could put on it but if it is like mine, you would need to leave it open for...

If you didn't get a socket already, Oreily's auto loans out large impact wrench sockets. I borrowed one to take off my truck's front wheel bearing.

In order to keep the mower level, you would need to bring the brackets off the mower you are getting the larger wheels from. This bracket will have the shaft higher to account for the taller wheels. You would need to make sure the holes to bolt them onto your deck and maybe need to carry over...

"You never see any commercial lawn crews running battery gear" You will soon in Cali. They are looking banning gas outdoor equip.

Maybe not *that* old. The Ariens logo style itself was used after '63. See logo history - https://www.ariens.com/en-us/company/blog/240/behind-the-scenes-a-look-at-the-new-ariens-logo

R u saying they started riviting model\SN plates since 98?
