This trimmer is about 4 years old. I got it in an attempted to have all 4 cycle power tools so I wouldn't have to deal with mixing oil. But of course that didn't work out because you can't get 4 cycle chainsaws or leaf blowers. But whatever. This trimmer has been kind of high maintenance but...

I bought a fairly expensive troy bilt leaf blower because I specifically wanted one with a vacuum feature and their jump start feature. So of course the second time I go to use it, the jump start adapter shatters. Replacements are cheap enough thankfully: It looks like it just threads on, so...

I've been thinking about getting rid of the terrible incandescent bulb on the front of my snow blower and replacing it with an LED light. I was also thinking of taking it a little further and putting some other small amber lights in a few key spots to reduce the odds of me getting my *** run...

I just unboxed my new mower and it's very nice! You can certainly see the difference between this thing and a $200 machine. But I have one important question. It has a honda engine, 160cc i believe. The manual says it takes 18.5 ounces of oil, but the mower came with a bottle of just 15.5 ounce...

As you might imagine, I did not find this slit in my can by looking. Nope, I found it by trying to gas up my weed wacker, and spilling gas ALL OVER my shed. I easily spilled more gas from this one incident, than this new-fangled spill-reducing design has saved in the 3 years I've owned it...

I bought this old leaf blower for $35 on craigslist because I wanted something cheap that could vacuum and chop up leaves. It ran well at the time, except one of the exhaust bolts was stripped. Well it turns out it was the engine block that was stripped, not the bolt. But I was eventually able...

I was given this mower about 3 years ago. When I got it, it had all sorta of issues with the transmission and deck (see my other thread), but the engine ran great. I mean it was an ad for Honda. ~13 year old engine, deck falling apart, but the engine runs like it's brand new. Engine-wise, it...

I have an older craftsman mower that sputters a lot. It does it particularly bad when it's cold, much less so when it warms up. I've tried everything, fuel system cleaner, cleaning the carb, replacing the spark plug, using the freshest of fuel, changing the oil. Nothing seems to make any...

I was given a free Honda Harmony mower when I bought my house last summer. I wanted to buy a new mower but they are just so expensive. So I figured I'd see if I can fix up this Honda and use it for a year or two before getting something new (hopefully a husqvarna awd model). So anyway, the...
