A neighbor gave me his backpack blower with the seized piston. He put straight gasoline in the tank without adding oil. I was able to free the Piston but it won't start. Spark is good and I hit it with starting fluid but no go. It has a good spark so I was surprised when the starting fluid...

I had to use a racketing tie down a few times to get air back into the front of these wheels. The tires don't look dry rotted but there is some rust around the rim. One of the grease fitting broke on one of the wheels but I can replace that. I like have pneumatic wheels but this is become a...

Does anyone know where to find a valve guide removal tool? I have a FB460V and would like to replace the valve guides. Here's a photo from the manual. Thanks, slash

I have a Metro 36 with a Kawasaki FB460V. It's hard to start and only idles at a higher rpm that normal. The manual says minimum compression should be 43 and mine is 35. I'm going to rule out a leaking head gasket today but it says to check spring length/valve stems which are no longer...

I just noticed this today after mowing a lawn. There is a crack in the transmission case and oil leaked down the case.

Anyone know what this screw is on an exmark metro 36 carburetor. It's right next to the pilot jet. This isn't the exact carb but it's very similar to mine. You can only access the screw when you pull the carb. Thx J

I changed the oil in my exmark and I noticed it's leaking oil. I put synthetic oil in the mower and was wondering if that's why it's leaking. It's not much oil but enough to be annoying and for dirt and grass to stick to the mower. I can't track down the exact leak but it might be coming from...

I just bought a used stihl fs80-r trimmer. It starts and runs great but I'm unable to get the string to come out when I tap it on the ground. I've attached a picture of the bottom of the trimmer. It looks worn but I'm not sure if the entire spool needs to be replaced. If a need a new part...
