I'm about done cleaning carbs at this point. My Milwaukee's are great but too expensive. Is Walmart "Hart" brand too cheap? What about Harbor Freight brands?

You guys know this common one? One pacman screw on the inside one on the outside. I can get it started but doesn't stay running unless I throttle it which only lasts for so long I've put a lot of car cleaner through this though maybe it's that diaphragm in there too brittle as I recall causing...

I have a few different batteries from a generator to motorcycle to truck. Should I connect these to a trickle charger to maintain whatever health they have left and if so would a cheap solar charger suffice? And would I just connect them all up in series? Not exactly lawn related but you guys...

Can't figure out why this carb is leaking. It's my newest one so everything looks new but it leaks from the front out of the main jet. The little rubber stopper valve is a soft rubber I think works against me blowing into it. Any ideas?

Or so it seems to me. How interchangeable are these? If so that would be great for testing. My eyes are bad but they seem almost identical. BTW, am I right in thinking with my mower carb shown by itself has that extra linkage to have the throttle the default position choke spring closed where...

I've got fuel(too much? seems leaking everywhere) and spark. Was working decent before after struggling with rear adjustment screw under primer, now suddenly it won't start. Tried with and without choke, with cover off. Seems to have compression as always. Tried with adjustment screw...

Why do these pull the string in so often making me have to take it apart and re-insert the string all over again? I push to let it out til it has to cut itself on the blade, perfect length then after some use one or both sides pull the string back in through the holes. Or what am I doing wrong?

Should I be able to blow through this inlet? It's the fuel inlet, not the primer bulb one.

Should I get enough fuel digging in there from a few pulls of the rope? It starts with carb cleaner but won't keep going and I'm not able to get a Q-tip wet. I gave it a quick cleaning, used a wire in all the holes I could poke and cleaned the bowl and the needle jet which I assume works since...

What's the trick to getting that 3-hole grommet in there in under 5 minutes? Every time I do it it's a 30 min battle and it always leaks

I tried testing with a Milwaukee 18v figuring I might get something, got nothing nor did I get any ohms from it. I tested it from two positions of the only switch I found on it. No reading for resistance usually means it's dead no? It's an old model.

Turns out after trying both out they both leak and I popped in my oldest one, which now I can't remember why I replaced it, and it works. Not perfect but doesn't leak and maintains decent power. So what typically causes these to leak, maybe just aftermarket ones? Could the main jet be too big...

How open should the throttle on your push mower be during normal operation?

It's the same one I'm working with. There should be this "key" kinda protruding from that space right? I should be able to feel it yes? Looks like nothing is there on mine. Last I checked I could turn the engine over with carb cleaner but it would immediately stall after.

And it's barely doing that now. But once started goes good. That little red rubber bulb to suck up fuel doesn't work so I don't know if that's the function I'm replacing with the car cleaner. I wluod doubt it as it's now getting very difficult to start it even this way particularly when it's...

So I have a Toro mower with Kohler engine PH-XT675-2070 with new carb and plug and ignition and after spraying it with carb cleaner I got it to pop a few times but ultimately it doesn't want to even start anymore. The flywheel 8s pretty rusty and it's hard to turn over. Any suggestions?

I have gone through several, like at least one a year and have collected a ton of filters and fuel lines and spark plugs from these kits, I guess I could sell but I'd rather not have to keep buying the carbs. Can you seafoam them or something similar, fuel treatment, to keep these clean? I have...

It's an echo pas 225. I've got a carb I soaked in acetone in there. I have three, two old and soaked in acetone and a new one which I'm holding onto til I absolutely need it. So I want to learn how these work and how to fix em when possible. Mind you I adjusted the cable to give it more slack...

Where do you get stock of this trimmer fuel line? If I'm gonna spend $15 and I just want tube then I'd prefer a roll of it than have to get a couple pieces and carburetor I don't need

Vid optional. Pretty simple. Gearbox stuck only able to go backwards. Forward only works with aid of belt, from above. Stuck gearbox

The two pics are the new one I just popped in and the other outside is the old one to show I'm using the same carb, although not exactly like the original which has a thermostat connection on the exhaust, I guess to the choke(?) so apparently it works as it has with the choke open and not...

https://youtu.be/1hJbR_k48dI I'm not sure how all this works but I think I might need a new spring or something. Can anyone enlighten me on what I'm looking at and maybe what the problem is. At least with the throttle as I think it I get that working I can at least use it. I'm thinking of tying...

I've already adjusted the chain by standard method to the max so I'm guessing the chain itself has stretched out. And I've seen guides on removing links in it but they're done with a special tool by breaking off a particular (master?) link or something that is obviously different from the rest...

I ruled out the air filter and spark plug. But I did notice fuel around the air filter and spark plug hole. Does this mean the carb is dirty and the float isn't working properly? If so and I'm able to clean it out, what should I do to keep it clean in the future? This being a gas/oil mixture...

My plan for starting out is door hangers and Craigslist and nextdoor and any other online local platforms. At some point soon I will want to get a website up. I'm also considering bandit signs and of course word of mouth combined with great svc. So what do you guys do and what would be your...

Preferably I'd like something I just pay for once. Also, if you can get all of your needs served by one software that would be great. Off the top of my head I can imagine I'll need software for: Pricing Route planning/management Time clock and payroll Accounting Financial analysis Marketing...

I see most guys/gals charge in average, like *$75/month for the standard "mow & blow" which is the average cost of mowing each week during season and twice a month off season, so supposing a customer paid either for a season or an off season then ended the relationship, *someone would get...

I wouldn't know what they would be called if they exist already. I'm sure they do. I just don't know what the application and is for someone just starting out on a budget. I'm guessing there maybe something free out there. You tell me. I actually have two units for both of my cats. And they work...

I'm not talking independent contractors as I read a bit on that and it seems a pain to qualify for that method, I still like the idea of pay per performance and pay each employee a % of the bill depending on exp., position, etc.

I like the idea but imagine it costs a good 30% more on equipment. I think it would be something the customers and workers would appreciate. Thoughts?

I've got some money to buy, and she's got experience growing someone else's lawn care business. we may like working together. between us I've only mowed my own lawn a few times shabbily and repaired my equipment, no pro, but I'm mechanical. But that doesn't really matter as our idea is to go...
