Just go to a Walmart or something. Grab the cheapest battery. I'm assuming it's equivalent to a lawnmower. I get about 3 years from them.
Ther smaller then a lawnmower battery.
Smaller then an atv battery too

Had the 181 apart today after giving it a workout. I tried repairing the fuel line years ago with a grommet through the tank but realised ther wasnt enough room for grommet so when it was apart for a good cleaning i put a peace of bigger fuel line over the fuel line to take up the space. It may not stop it 100 percent but will be way better than it was befor. It was only good for bucking and not falling.

Generac 7550 that was driving me nuts. Her complaint was starts and dies, diagnosed a faulty oil pressure switch for the low oil pressure shutdown. Replaced the switch with a new OEM one and still same problem, verified good oil pressure after running for a few minutes, was 35 psi. Switch should go open with pressure on it, new one was faulty out of the box. Dealer warrantied it for me. Another new one had it sorted. Serviced it with an oil change, new air filter and plug. Replaced the battery which was bad too. I guess I learned again that just because it's new, doesn't mean it's good!

Tomorrow I have a Husqvarna 353 to diagnose an oil leak on.

Husqvarna 353 for a bar oil leak. Removed bar/chain and cleaned possible leak areas. Filled with bar oil and now just to wait to see where it's leaking.

Will pull the oil hose out of the case, clean up everything to get rid of any oil. I like to use break cleaner, add your favorite oil resistant sealer and reassemble, problem solved.

Thanks for the tip John! Will Motoseal do?

Cool, thanks guys.

Got this Generac 2700 psi 2.7 GPM pressure washer yesterday for free. Nice unit too, ohvi engine with full pressure lube and low oil pressure shutdown, triplex pump. This evening I topped up the oil, freed up the throttle plate, and squirted some brake clean down the carb and it popped off. Put some fuel in the tank, primed it and it started right up and ran nice. Only ran it for about 15 seconds as I didn't have water hooked up to it. When I have more time/light I'll hook up water and see if the pump is good. I did put some pump saver through the pump too.
