    Stihl Trimmer FS-90 revs hard and spins when idling

    That's weird.I have tried to adjust my FS70r ala "Steves Small Engine Saloon".I can't tell a difference by ear,so i turn both screws in til seated and then 1 1/4 turn out each.Seems to run strong but no idle problems though.Maybe check him out on YouTube.Can't hurt.

    Husqvarna hu700f shut-off valve

    Thanks for the info.Now what of that octane? 86 regular.But what about no ethanol? Wouldn't it be a difference between the 2,86 reg as opposed to 86 no ethanol?

    Lawn boy 4 cycle

    Hey Rivets.I need your expertise on this 4 cycle mower if you don't mind.The problem i have is the handle.Well...it won't stay up.I tried a washer and it didn't really help.I figured if i took the whole star off and went to Ace hardware i could get an exact fit washer and maybe that'll do it.But...

    Lawn boy 4 cycle

    Well i thought no question was a bad question? I should have asked the difference between 4 cycle and 4 stroke? But i looked it all up on 'tube ala donyboy73 and Steve's small engine saloon.Plenty of ways to peel a grape.Thanks though.

    Preferred Method for changing oil

    I run my mowers for a minute to get the oil warm.Then i have small platic bowl and catch the first pouring out then place it onthe ground and leave to do other things.Later,i'll finish by turning the mower to get oil left.No muss,no fuss,no rush.Works fine everytime.

    Husqvarna GCV carburator

    I can believe it.Called one farm and tractor store to ask if they put these back together.An authorized Husqvarner sales and repair mind you,i was told i had to buy a new carb in order for them to take it.Well,that was my motivation.I watched 1 of my faves,Donyboy73- "How to make your mower...

    Husqvarna GCV carburator

    Has anyone taken 1 of these off lately? I did.l had no idea.The gasket sequence baffled me for a week.Along with the linkage assembly.You can tell i'm a novice.Well inside the carb is your fuel jet.It's a small screw that will give you a fit.Then a flute-looking thingy you clean also with a...

    Hey all.This has been a great feed for all.So to shorten this,i had already taken the cover off the s/p belt.With the lever engaged it was very harder to turn as i had changed the belt before.Starting the mower was no problem.Even tilted it and it ran fine until i pull the S/P lever.Then it...

    Repairman needed

    My FWD self propel This Craftsman is a FWD 22" mower.#917.377131.Self oropel won't engage.I have been thinking it is the pulley for the belt.Since SearsParts is no more,pulley is unavailable.Wheel gears are good as the wheels are still new.It was suggested maybe it's the transmission.

    Repairman needed

    I'd rather do that here.Where you actually have people that can lead me in the right direction.Either get repaired or purchase 1 brand spanking new.But work is steady so i may have to bite the bullet and get a new 1.Remember social distance and wash your hands.
