LOL. I will tell my customer that.

Do i really need blades? I thought i just put those on not too long ago.

If you wanted to see women freaking out. My son's 5rh grade science project was a process where we took old wheel weights and melted them down and casted fishing jigs. OMG he touched lead! The female teachers lost their crap. The male principal asked if we sold them and wanted to buy some.

Had a family of racoons try to set up housekeeping too close to the house. After a series of poor choices on their part they had a talk with Mr Mossberg.

Many years ago NAPA sold a tape that you baked in the oven at 400 degrees to bond clutch and brake linings. Doubt if they still sell it. There are a bunch of paint on adhesives out there.

Good flap wheels are relatively cheap. I get mine from Supergrit. I buy a dozen or so at a time. https://www.supergrit.com/tblproduct_discs_flap4.html

The best blades are made of marbain steel. They are OEM on brands like Ferris Scag Grasshopper commercial JD and the like. https://www.fisherbarton.com/products/turf/marbain/

As others have said service alone if a one man shop won't pay the bills. Dealerships make their real money on equipment sales and service makes up a small part of their business. I run a shop with almost zero overheadh and make decent money but i have a comfortable retirement income also. I...

Last grasp at the straws. I believe the engine has an external coil. If so try this. Disconnect the points wire from the coil. Connect an ohm meter to the wire from the points and to ground. Slowly turm the engine and see where the points open and where the flywheel magnets are in relation to...

Yup.

Where was the first franchise Kentucky fried chicken?

What was horrible about it?

Have you compared a 36 grit flap disk to a grinding wheel? https://www.ustooldepot.com/burr-king-model-760-2-x-60-three-wheel-belt-grinder/?gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAiAn9a9BhBtEiwAbKg6fuLYoMTAufzrh9ZGkPF9xjZ-KLcHZquzf4Y87NEKTMhj8LRAUQnniRoC26EQAvD_BwE A 36 grit flap wheel is nowhere as nice as...

A 36 grit flap wheel takes metal off FAST without overheating. I have a Bradley S105 grinder that i don't use any more. Really only works on flat blades and takes way longer than the angle grinder and flap wheel. Blades don't need to be perfectly balanced or razor sharp. Mow with razor sharp...

If the magneto assy wasn't moved that's good. Moving the mag/coil assy adjusts the engine timing but the points gap is critical to timing the magnets to the coil.

"I can feel the spark when holding the plug wire and spinning the flywheel by hand" Sounds like the points are slightly out of time with the magnets. Try opening the points gsp a couple thou. If that doesn't help then close a couple thou.

Since it holds the angle i can very quickly sharpen the dullest blade to good professional edge in less than a minute. I run a shop and time is money. I have tried a few different sharpeners and the all american is the best bang for the buck for my small shop. A Burr King would be nice but can't...

I use an All American sharpener. https://www.allamericansharpener.com/ And 36 grit flap wheel. Takes less than a minute for even the worst blades. Blade off the mower $5. I don't straighten blades.

I wonder how many here know what CW is. IMI K

I have had an email associated with my audio consulting business for over 20 years. I constantly get bombarded with scam emails and marketing emails. At least 2 or 3 every day for years. Some of the scams are hilarious. The IRS with bad grammer threatening to take me to jail was a good one. Open...

Well, i guess it was a good try. I thought you would fall for it. 🤫

OIL FILTER. either missing the seal or wrong filter.

Both of the local JD/Stihl dealers carry Ferris and not the Stihl mowers.

Go look at a Ferris and picture it orange and white.

I don't think the condenser is electrolytic as it is just used as a snubber in the circuit. I have used the same cap in old Ford positive ground tractors and newer Fords with negative ground systems. I tore one apart once and the paper insulator had no electrolyte on it just dry paper so that...

The question was does the magnet polarity matter on a magneto system using points? I am quite familiar how ignition systems work.

Just another forum newbie posting a question and never to be heard from again.

You need to start rolling your own.

If it popping back through the carb after long storage probably was stored with the intake valve open and it rusted some so it is stuck open. Easy fix. Take the valve cover off and check.

Discussions about politics and religion never end well.

In commiefornia and others states the HOAs and towns are banning gas powered equipment and are issuing fines to homeowners for using them. They can pass whatever stupid rules they want. And yes they can send the police to give you a ticket.

I think i will find a boat with tea on it and toss it overboard. That'll show them.

It's odd an aluminum piston would seize in an aluminum cylinder with oil in the engine. Usually i see engines stored outside will have a valve open and it is rusted and stuck open. Never seen the rings rusted and locking up the piston in an aluminum bore engine. If you are sure the piston is...

Apply a thin coat to both sutfaces. Give it a few mins then assemble. Stuff is super tacky and stringy. Not like RTV silicone sealants.

The 825i has the fuel pump in the gas tank under the seat. It should put out 45psi at the regularor. Disconnect the fuel line from the engine and turn key on and try to start you should have 45psi fuel pressure. If not then fuel pump problem. If you have good pressure then computer/injector or...

Does it matter on point systems?

There are vids on utube of guys recharging flywheel magnets. Back in the old magneto days "recharging" the magnets was routine maint. I have never tried it you might give it a try.

3 bond 1184 Honadbond. Yamabond. All the same stuff. This us what all the japaneese mfgrs use to seal motorcycle cases good stuff. I use it on magnesium chainsaw cases.

If you have the throttle lever like this Here is a pic. It doesn't show much The linkage is like the one with the red arrows that star posted. The original fuel pump has been replaced on mine so yours will be different. Hope it helps. I literally pulled this out of a load going to the...

There are 2 different JD111. Does yours look like mine?

I still have a 2003 laptop running XP that has $1200 audio and acoustical testing and analysis software that is licensed to that laptop. My audio business is winding down so not going to drop $2k for the new version and a new laptop.

I used to like computers. Not any more. I still have a couple running XP. LOL. Getting too old and cranky to deal with it. 11 sucks bat crap off cave walls.

I don't stock parts like you do but the ones i do stock i price out at the current replacement cost plus markup regardless of what i purchased them for. Many things have over doubled in cost.

Yes i have. Many automotive gas filled shocks come compressed with a plastic strap you cut off after install. The ratchet strap achieves the same thing.

Wrap a ratchet strap around it to compress it.

I don't have animals but my bro in law across the creek from me does. Years ago we built the high rent district chicken house. He has never lost a bird as he puts them in every night and it has 7' fence around it. We still remove quite a few coons and ground hogs a year from the planet because...

It works pretty well. It is good on nuts and stuff like that. but on bigger stuff a torch with a rosebud is better.

I bought the accessory kit of different coils too. I like it better than the torch. Here it is on amazon...
