Injectors can be pretty delicate, I wouldn’t try and clean them your self.

I’ve had replacement carbs not work well. I know one on a Lawn Boy tan terrible until I switched a jet with the original.

Teflon tape has fixed my leaks. I think most if not all of mine are Milton.

This time of the year it should start without glow plugs. Is there a chance you sucked in a lot of dusty air with the intake hose off? That is obviously hard on the internals of an engine.

The best way to keep oil off the floor is to wear a watch with one of those flexible metal bands. That way when oil runs down your hand it doesn’t run down your arm and drip on the floor. The watch band catch’s the oil instead and stores it for you.

That’s not what happens to me. I have had mine jam because I don’t wind it but normally mine just gradually get shorter until I need to advance it.

Shaking my head! Dumping trash out and going through it? Years ago when I didn’t know better I’d put my used oil back in the quart containers and put them in the trash. One day they were sitting next to my empty trash can. I found out you weren’t suppose to do that.

Destructive aren’t they? I have problems with them too.

Jack Daniel’s? It won’t help the trimmer line anymore than water but your likely to do a shot and get less upset.

It does get old and brittle. I store it in a ziplock back with maybe a few tablespoons of water. My trimmer head will run 0.080 line or 0.095 line. I recently bought some 0.095 and it lasts longer even though you put less in the head. I use mine to beat back the grass along my asphalt...

I don’t really want to put rock down. Sometimes this happens once a year, every other year or this year a couple of times. Some of this can be from mole damage where they make a big mound, I smash it down with my tractor and I end up with a bare spot and then the rain erodes it. We’ve had a...

I’ve got some areas in my yard that constantly erode. I’ve included a picture of one such area, it’s a little down and to the left of the center in the picture. This area is about the size of your hand and is caused water running down off my driveway and is about an inch deep. I’ve got maybe...

Think of it as building character. ;)

Did you check the air and fuel filters.
