Is there anyone near Jefferson County (Desoto) that has equipment to drop a couple trees ? I have a large Oak that leans towards and overhangs my house as well as a Large Walnut that leans towards my house and big enough to hit if it falls. I am basically looking to just have them safely dropped...

I'd have to get out my flash drives to find all the trees Ive cut down to clear my property, some nice sized oaks, cedars , walnut a few cherry and maples. I actually need a couple massive oaks and walnuts dropped around my house as I dont have the experience or equipment to do those as the oak...

No , they were both destroyed before I got it, I ordered one but its too small. The piece of retention plastic was still in the old handle so I drilled it out and super glued this one in and it works as a temp fix on the hand brake until I find the replacement.

I recently traded a big generator for a couple ATVs, I got the small one all good to go as Ive done them before and parts are a dime a dozen on amazon (super cheap to rebuild) Now my issue comes with the big one. The 1999 Arctic Cat 250 2x4 is pretty much obsolete and found a few rare needed...

easy to prove as well . Prime it , start it , kill it and then pull the fuel line off and it will squirt for a good 3+ seconds... pressure builds in the tank and its not from evaporation, not that much pressure that fast. I can shake the gas can and open and still not have pressure like that...

I hate the 2 step process, some accounts ( banks/cards ) use them and if you dont have a cell phone ( or change numbers ) you cant get access.

so, you dont think the pressure in the tank, since it cant vent out (only in) has nothing to do with fuel delivery to the carb? if that was the case you wouldnt need a needle valve to shut fuel supply on a vacuum/suction type carb. It plays a role atomizing fuel. There is also a reason why...

The fuel tanks are usually vented by the fuel caps on some equipment like trimmers BUT some equipment produce pressure as it runs in the fuel tank like chainsaws do to help with fuel delivery so they dont have vented caps , just depends on the equipment . On the intake/compression stroke of the...

These small engines are super easy to fix with a $6 carb rebuild kit ( usually just the diaphragm is hard ) people today just throw everything away and buy new every year. I used to live by a guy who did lawncare, he would give me all his Stihl chainsaws,trimmers, blowers every year because...

I understand the lube needs for 2 strokes but its just to test if it will fire not run long enough to damage anything. But I will consider WD40 next time , thanks for the tip.

Got everything running, went out to the shop in the evening to tinker with them. Had to buy a new spark coil for one of the hedge trimmers. rebuilt all the carbs, new fuel lines and filters ( amazon is great with next day deliveries and local parts dealer is close for a lot of stuff )

Ive picked up a couple more items, got all 4 for $20 (2) Hedge Trimmers (1) Poulan Powerhead w 2 saw attachments (1) Poulan backpack blower None of them ran but would fire on ether, I went and bought carb rebuild kits $6 each and fuel lines at my local lawncare dealer. Got all running except 1...
