Well I did come across NOS today in the shop, if anyone is interested I have 2 brand new elastic ratchet straps. Not sold on TV. Only 2 left.

Well we are all involved with small engine repair some a lot more that the others but, I still have a dozen high compression recoil fly back springs. Its on a first come first serve basis. Good too have for the vintage mower repair. Cheap 0nly a buck 2.80.

Thats exactly why I work by myself, I dont have too baby sit as well as go and make sure the work that needs too be done is done correctly and tomy specs. If something goes out the door and I overlooked something stupid its my fault. But again thats why I struggle operating a business having...

Write a bill out and make it out to sub contracting for services, naturally get insurance copy and all that happy jazz and send him a 1099 at tax time. Thats always an alternative. I could never hire anyone Id be broke, might as well shut the doors right now. It costs way more than I anticipated.

LOL and im in the northeast part of PA, you may have read my profile. Sorry I did'nt read yours.

I just ran over my buddy's he dont have anything but a few empty crank cases for a jred. Sorry dude. Where you located at anyway.

its even better when someone tells you how to do it, my reply is well then why did you bring it here, fix it yourself. I dont have to be in a mood at all, but that sets me right off. 0 to a**hole in .002 sec

I will have my buddy look this afternoon, Like I said that might be a long shot. Put a set of rings in it and call it good. Whats the specs on the compression for that, christ 140 isnt bad, not by my standards anyway

I figured you knew about them. I just thought about it that very second, it dont happen often so i had to tell you when it was fresh in my mind.

Yes, I know all about the hat deal. What kills me is the pick up and deliveries. I order parts once a week or try too, once a week. I have a hard time keeping up with my inventory, thats my biggest down fall. I buy shop packs as often as i can. Thats a bit of help

Thank you Catherine. I was wondering if there were any females on here. Thats great.

I always show the old parts, 9 times out of 10 the customer dont even know what they are looking at. Belts is a no brainer for people, But in most cases they have that deer in the headlights look while I explain the function of the part and why it failed. The best customers are the ones that...

I have very little parts for those saws. Id have to look to make sure. P & Cyl is a long shot. send over a model #. Is cyl nikasil or not sure

I deal quite a bit with www.hlsproparts.com, not sure if you heard of them or not I would imagine you have. Prices are great and they have a wide selection of OEM and aftermarket parts, from cranks to shut off switches. They are in Daytona Beach Florida. When you get on their site its called...

I personally dont, but theres one very close and have had to resort to it a few times.

yep...... thats about the size of it. And I have done that, Its like my silent dig, dont have too say, see I told ya

Thanks a lot. I appreciate it.

I cant stress enough to my customers about jumping a mower from a car. I dont know if people think I'm feeding them a line or what but Its explained thoroughly enough about that. I had one this year like that, The best is when they lie and say I didnt jump it with a car, some dont realize that...

Ive been dealing with Stens now for well over 4 years and they are a great company other than the above belt problems. I know if I order before 2 I will have my parts 9 times out of 10 the next day and its only because we have a Stens warehouse rather close to me. Its $150 order to receive free...

Thanks I appreciate it.

Just an FYI as well, The charging system is designed to maintain the charge in the battery, its not made too charge the battery. Especially if its 9 volts like you said. Any battery thats below 12.25 could come back to life with a slow charge kind of wakes it up so to speak. trying to charge a...

The better straight shaft name brand equipment you have a chance to make a couple bucks. I started too fizzle out the cheap brands myself, might end up shooting myself in the foot in the long run, but ill lock the doors and go home fir the day before i work for free. Those days are long gone too.

That's funny. I have a couple load locks for a tanker if anyone is interested.

This is exactly why I don't work on cheap trimmers. Its hard to hand someone a bill for $70 when its an $80 trimmer. Not to mention its hard to make money on trimmers to begin with.

New to this forum. So I figured I'd stop by and say hello
