My GF recently asked a 22 year old college student working part time to mail a check to someone. The girl asked what a check was. She had never written one, always banked on her phone app. Then she asked how you address an envelope, and where the stamp was supposed to go. She had never...

Same here. I took an automechanics class in Vo-Tech my senior year in 1972. A local auto parts place put together a special toolbox package for students with basic hand tools in a nice metal toolbox. It was made by Blackhawk. It cost $110 for students. Full set of 1/4", 3/8" and 1/2"...

I used to work for a telephone company many years ago. We had a product called No-Oxide, a grease that shipped with the central office battery packages to be applied to battery terminals to prevent corrosion. I have had a couple small jars of that grease on hand since 1980 that I have used on...

In 57 years of using every conceivable kind of lawn equipment, I have NEVER had a problem with water in a gas tank. NEVER. And the only thing I've ever done is take the OEM cap off, fill the tank, and put the OEM cap back on. No plastic wrap, no rubber bands, only using the OEM caps. I do...

I've never seen a safety switch cause just one cylinder to misfire or not fire at all.

I could have put a new pulley on and mowed half my yard in the time it's taken to read through this thread. Why did you replace the original pulley to begin with?

Aren't you just blowing all your clippings to the outside of your lawn instead of equally distributing them over the lawn? Or am I misunderstanding your method? It sounds like you are mowing and re-mowing the cuttings multiple times as you move the cuttings to the outside of the lawn. I...

I use Rotella-T 15w40 in everything I own, car, truck, tractors, everything with a motor, EXCEPT my 2006 Harley motorcycle. I use HD synthetic in it because I love keeping my Harley all original, down to the oil. Rotella-T currently sells for $79 for a 5-gallon container at Walmart. That's...

Wow! Any way you could identify that engine so we could avoid buying it?

You've probably already checked it, but I've seen a clogged air intake filter cause this same problem on Stihl FS series string trimmers and leaf blowers.
