I have a job but I am looking for a career. I ain't worried about getting rich, just making enough to feed a family, well ,and keep a non-leaky over their head. I have talked to some different people and understand that I would want to go commercial/large units with HVAC. It is supposed to be...

Been keeping my eyes peeled for a Makita 6421 to convert to a 7910. Found one that has 6421 on the recoil but gray covers on the cylinder. Would that make it a 6401? I think it will still work just a different muffler. I don't have the saw in hand just pictures to go off of. Sorry, covers...

OK, I have a red Poulan 3700 and have been thinking about an other saw. Was looking real hard at the Dolmar 6400 and Echo CS-590, etc series. The Dolmar uses a different bar mount pattern. Don't want to stock another bar pattern. So, the Echo uses the same mount, D176 I believe, but...

Just finished my rebuild of a Craftsman 3.7. It was all the way down to a split case. As you can see, it was filthy. Cleaned it up real good and made a few mods on the way back together!

My brother and I were talking about four vs two cycle engines, mainly me because he doesn't like machines. He was postulating that a small, flywheel driven ignition system sparks every revolution even during the exhaust stroke. That got me thinking about a pet thought, wouldn't both 4-mix...

http://www.pattakon.com/pattakonPatAT.htm Was googling for variable exhaust port timing thanks to the pipe building theroy thread below. Found this link, it is a windowed piston design two stroke where the connecting rod covers a window in the piston to keep mix from passing into the...

I bought a new FS240. Starts easy, runs fine at part or full throttle but has a terrible of idle bog, specfically with a blade. Is that normal? It does it when hot or cold.. When it is all the way back at idle, I pull the throttle rrrrrrrrrrRRRRRREEEEEEEEE! It actually has to spin up. Am I...

So the idea of sanding the base of a flat bottom cylinder has been kicked around and done quite well: http://opeforum.com/threads/machining-base-without-a-lathe.3989/ So why couldn't it been done with some patience, a piece of glass, DS tape and wet/dry sandpaper? I don't see why the glass...

Anybody got a reliable source for seals online. Need SKF 6119. I am looking but I don't think anything close carries them. I have the Timken 253747 but am not able to get them to fit.

Looking for good quality replacement dump cart tires. Old axle is 3/4". The old tubes does not hold pressure and the tread/sidewall are badly cracked/diteriorated. So the rim is the only thing salvageable. I see harbor freight has one that looks exactly like the old tires...

I have been chasing what I think is a metering lever problem in a Shindaiwa T25. It won't stay rinning at WOT but will idle all day. Anyway, I had the carb off last night messing with it. When I put it back on, I realized the carb isolator block was cracked along one on the bolt holes. If I...

So my current push mower is down. I might be able to fix later but don't have time right now. I need something I can pour oil and gas in, and start mowing. Suggestions?

I order a 1 foot piece of metal free brake lining from Mcmaster-Carr. Part number 6175K813, if you want to know. Found on this page: http://www.mcmaster.com/#catalog/122/3565/=13stgb4 Going to try replacing the strips and see what happens! I saw stuff like this on Ebay but had doubts about...

Working on my old Murray riding mower. The deck needs cleaned and repainted. Snapped one of self tapping bolt heads off trying to removing it to clean under the blade engagement mech. Can I just drill it out the run a tap or somthing through it? Or maybe drill out and replace with a regular...

Got a OHV Briggs and Stratton: 219700-0300-e1 with a Nikki carb. It wouldn't start at the beging of season so I rebuilt the starter. Then the carb was flooding the engine, so I installed a shut off in the fuel line and made a mental note for a new inlet needle in the carb. Still wouldn't...
