Enjoy. The new Kias and Hyundais are real sweet.

I'd chase it. Ground the spark plug wires and crank it over before installing the spark plugs.

I don't have that manual. You can get one on EBay for 25$

The brake pads that Randy refers to, are frankly a money grab by B&D. They wear way faster than typical deck brakes due to the design. They can easily fail in under 100 hours. If you don't replace them, the tension arm comes back far enough, which makes the belt way loose and the idler...

Amazon has the basic arm for 10$ I bought one of those and then repad them ahead with the good pad and rivets. We get to do these a lot. PPD

If you are putting 12 VDC on one clutch terminal and grounding the other, if the clutch is good it will fire.

Reds fade so bad. When I weld on a deck bracket, I've found that value red paint the Co-op has strangely matched the best for touch up. Apple red is too red. If I had to shoot the whole deck, I'd find better paint.

If push comes to shove, cut the shaft off so you can work with it. Heat / press etc.

Grapefruit juice waved over the glass makes a great thirst quencher. Boylan Heritage tonic is great if you can find it.

My word of caution is in regards of whether or not you would be better served by a model with an outdoor ambient temp sensor or not. Ecobee, didn't work for me for that reason. The weather station they used could read 10-15 degrees different than our outdoor temp. So it liked to use the...

It seems there are lots of tired starter motors on these OPTW. I've not used aftermarket motors, so I don't know how you will do. But I'd wait and see what that does and if it doesn't perform see what voltage you get at the starter as you try and crank it. I used to see getting them running for...

We technically have 2 EGO trimmers. One that I put a pole saw on as well, one that's strictly a trimmer. Has an odd bend in it. A tree and a tractor were somehow involved in that, but won't fess up. Had to replace the pole saw attachment for the same. Darn tractor....

Here's what you do Bronco. Get your self one of those lanyards for a jet ski and wire it into the seat switch. Clip it to your pants. I have a yard that's much the same but there ain't no way I'm tumbling down the hill w/ a running mower deck. It just might just save you.

Unplug the connector at the top of the clutch and see if it blows then.

It is so the paper media isn't perforated. I blow across the media rather than directly through. For OPE, some manufacture's are for blowing them out, some don't.
