    Is there a small engine area on this forum? I.e. 2 strokes, weedeaters, chainsaws...etc?

    Rev,.... Shouldn't it be called "Perpetual Combustion", since it continued to operate without a "Spark"? And I'm actually familiar with it somewhat, as in the case of an Oil Burning Furnace, where the Oil Gun, pumped far above the normal amount of oil, in to the Combustion Chamber, but the...

    Greetings Auto Doc's, :LOL: I've upset My Wife a few times by rebuilding an Oil Burner Gun, &/or other equipment on the Kitchen Table. If I'm understanding correctly then "Re-surfacing" is basically "Hand sanding the Head" to an even surface. Cool! Is the "Head Gasket" also called the...

    B & S Md# 33r777-0005-g1 replaced by a B & S 33S877-0043

    Greetings Auto Doc's and Rivets, Auto Doc's, If I'm understanding correctly, is "Leveling/resurfacing" the head the act of grinding/polishing it, to certain specifications? Kinda what a machine shop would do to an automobile rotor? And, You'll have to forgive me if I'm mislabeling the engine...

    B & S Md# 33r777-0005-g1 replaced by a B & S 33S877-0043

    Greetings Rivets, I tried two local "Repair Shops", that weren't "GOOD" apparently, & they shut me down over the warranty, & that was back in May 2025. Since that time, I fanatically kept the oil level up to where it is supposed to be, & would give the Mower a rest for about a 1/2 hour, &...

    Greetings Ya'll, Our Husqvarana riding mower Md# YTH18542 motor began smoking while under load, as well as blowing oil out of the fill tube. This happened two weeks after the Warranty went out on the Mower! There are two B & S Motors listed as replacements for the original motor being a...

    YTH18542 Briggsandstratton motor belching white smoke

    That's Sad, & somewhat Shocking, at least when comparing the Warranties expected from My Work. The Majority of Parts be it HVAC/Electrical, &/or Refrigeration, are expected to have at least a One Year Part & Labor Warranty. LOL! I worked on a furnace several years back at a shop that did...

    18 hp Vanguard Oil Leak

    Thank You Auto Doc! I was thinking that if I already had the Dye/Light etc. that it would save some $$$$. The Dye that we use will work up to 700 PSI, & Temps up to 400 degrees F., as well as work with more than 30 refrigerants, if I remember correctly. And it can be used with R134A that is...

    Being new to the group, ... It took a mind numbing time, over the weekend, to even register, cuz' it didn't appear to accept My Data, & I thought that I'd try it one more time this morning. When I typed in my "Group Name", it stated that the Name was already taken! LOL! I then tried logging in...

    18 hp Vanguard Oil Leak

    Greetings Startech,... We use UV Dye commonly in searching for leaks in Air Conditioning, & Refrigeration, that has no ill effect upon the Compressor, Thermal Expansion valves, etc. Is this "UV Dye", & the UV Light, that We use in HVAC similar what You are speaking of?

    YTH18542 Briggsandstratton motor belching white smoke

    Thank You for quickly replying ILENGINE, & siomo. Is it common for a repair like that to only have a 30 to 90 day Warranty? I'm thinking that paying approximately 60 to 75% of the cost of a New Motor, with such a short warranty, that replacing the motor would be the better route. Also...
