I have a Sthil Farm Boss Chain saw that I bought new, and have had for about 3 years. Last year, it started acting up a little, but this year when cold starting, it takes about 20+ pulls to start. I changed the spark plug and set the gap to between .020-.025", according to local repair shop...

I am sorry if this is in the wrong forum, or web site for that matter, but I don't know where else to ask it. This is still on the same project as the 11hp Briggs question, an old Heald Hauler 3 wheeler. Now that I have the engine going, i need to work on the old crusty (rusty) brake lines...

So, a friend of a friend, has this old Heald Hauler that they got NOT in a running condition. They run a youth recovery ranch (charity work) and my work is a freebie. They are paying for parts but that's all. OK, when I started going over the vehicle it became obvious this has been abused and...

I have an old Murray wit the 20HP Brigg opposed flat head engine. I have done a lot to this thing to keep it running, and have "fixed" this problem before but it keeps coming back. The problem doesn't always go by the same sequence, but it sometimes does (clear as mud huh?) but often, it will...

I got to thinkin (here I go again, usually this is the start of trouble) since sometime when mowing I have gotten into a limited slip wheel spin, where one wheel loses traction and spins. The other does nothing. What i got to wondering, is, if I could rig a set of independent rear wheel...

I have the Murray in the thread" Murray engine troubles" (on the Tractor forum Murray engine troubles - TractorByNet.com) and have it running..again and for now. It seems it is constantly" hunting" as i mow. This happened once before and i trouble shot it to the fuel pump but now i am not sure...

My Murray garden tractor says it's a shift on the fly? The only way I can shift gears is to push the clutch/brake in to shift and this stops it. How else do you "shift on the fly"? Also, I am wondering, how these transmissions work. Is each speed a new actual gear, or is it a progressive...

some might remember my post a bit back about the Murry with the 20hp B&S that had the floating valve seat? (It's NOT designed that way, but the flat, side valved twin tends to have that problem) Anyway, it back together and running, but runs rough now, so a new engine WILL be in the future, but...
