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...

See post #8

This is 6th or 7th one of these i have got running for a guy. He collects odd and rare lawn tractors and they have always been setting for years. He takes them to shows and drives them around for a few minutes and parks them for display. I am already $500 into this one and haven't even looked at...

Next time i have one of those MTD pulleys that has never been off for 15 years i will have one of the folks on here just pop it off for me. LOL

I charge by the hour and i don't give estimates on belt changes.

So far most of a can of PB Blaster and lots of use of the induction heater bolt buster and an impact wrench.

Probably going to cost the guy $1-2k to get it running.

60's Bush Hog riding mower left outside for many years. Been a huge mouse condo complex.

I for one appreciate star being a freaking magician finding info and willing to share. Thanks!

The "color" black and the absence of light are completely different. A red apple in total absence of light is still red but will appear black. This is a deep rabbit hole.

Only when dealing with light. "Black" in the printing world is definately a color. If you combine magenta cyan and yellow you get what is called process black. The density of black is important too.

I can't get the air filter on my snowblower to seal.

You can get a standard 46mm kit https://www.hlsproparts.com/Stihl-029-MS290-cylinder-assembly-46mm-overhaul-p/h30290-dns.htm?srsltid=AfmBOooeDnNqLULlMFeUFYJ6s0SGy4t2fzgXfuMDafKcHVT9Y4muxA4h Or a ms390 kit that is 49mm...

The 290 and 291 will not interchange cylinders. The 291 is actually a few cc smaller. The 028 would be the saw i would restore.

I find customers with pro saws more willing to fix a bad P&C vs the parts and labor for a clamshell saw. They are not hard to work on.

Heck i have a couple i will let go for $15.99. Taking a loss but just trying to be a good guy. 🤫

Yeah i was being a little sarcastic about the head gasket. The dreaded clamshell type engine.

Head gasket??? Got a pic of one of those for a 290 or 291? Engine needs a compression and pressure and vacum test.

The red wire goes here and the black wire goes.... ZAAAAAAAAAAP! The news reported people could see the blue glow that lasted a few seconds from 3 miles away.

I will second the shoe goo but if glueing to the foam anything is a temporary repair.

Don't get me started on the absolute shit show when ohio had 3 counties fail air quality testing so the EPA mandated emissions testing. The company they contracted the testing out to was run by retarded monkees with their heads up the asses answering to even more retarded monkees in the government.

I have done a bunch of these types by MTD. Do yourself a favor and unbolt the engine. If you heat it enough to get it off you will probably damage the lower seal. The hacks will bend the 3 belt guides but that just proves they are hacks. The pulley is paper thin so any prying ruins them. MTD...

The flash lamp power supply in the xerox machine like in the movie 9 to 5 has 4 capacitors that are measured in farads. Not microfarads. Fed by 50 amp 240v. A service rep did a dumbass and got a hand across it and it fires at 3 times a second. He retired with disability because he destroyed the...

I wonder how exact on torque settings you need to be on a mower engine? Other than head bolts that i cheat on regularly by adding 10 ft/lb, rod and sump bolts. What else do you guys use a torque wrench on? After over a half century of twisting things i rarely grab a torque wrench.

I am not a fan of any of the new husqvarna or cub cadet stuff. I would buy green but not any of the 1XX series.

You must remove the grill to access the air filter

Some lawn boy coils are ground to run and some ground to kill. The older coils were very bad about killing the coil if engine was cranked with the plug wire disconnected. I have replaced a ground to run coil with a ground to kill type. Been 20+ years ago so i don't remember part numbers. They...

Got one in the shop now. Has a kohler engine and that weird right angle belt drive.

Is it a springfield made in springfield ohio? I have worked on a few of them.

🤔 😂 The fun part is M12 comes in 3 flavors. 1.25 1.5 and 1.75 pitch threads. Not sure the need for 3 different thread pitches but i have taps and dies for all 3 now because everybody has to be different.

Pics of mower and engine date code?
