That type of customer service after an error on a business (employee), is almost unheard of nowadays. Hate the splash guard faux pas happened, but it was handled quickly in a satisfactory manner after the fact.

I was a union railroad employee for a number of years, and it seemed to me at the time that the average railroad employee was probably at least a little better off with the union as opposed to working without being union.

That is one wicked looking mower! The scimitar logo fits for sure!

Murray push mower 21 in. 3.5 HP Briggs flat head motor. Manuf. 1989. Still runs good. Up until a few yrs. ago I had a 1966 manuf. Gravely Model L 7.6 hp mower with 30 in. bush hog. I let a co worker talk me out of it.

Knowing that it cost me about $15 USD for my 2003 Accord (oil purchased on clearance and as well as filter). Plus getting to smell the aroma of TKO hand cleaner afterwards. Driving by a nearby big chain quick lube center and seeing people there for oil changes (and the obligatory engine air...

A co worker of mine bought a Yugo (1987 I think) brand new like the one in your pic except red in color. He drove it for a couple of years as I recall with no major issues, then traded it. I rode in it a couple of times and my 85 Corolla I owned at the time was a lot more solid feeling/riding...

My 1985 Corolla Sedan with the 4AC engine and auto. trans. had some sort of vacuum/solenoid device on the carb. that would increase engine RPM when the A/C was turned on. This car had a very substantial and intricate metal vacuum piping plenum in the engine valve cover area with attached rubber...

Interesting bottle shape . I do not recall ever seeing this style oil bottle in my area the last 20 yrs. or so in any brand of motor oil. Would put it in my Ford 300 inline 1994 F 150 and motor along with no issue.

Recently purchased a very lightly used Craftsman S160 16 in. saw from a pawn shop for $95 cash out the door. Same saw new is approx. $190 at a nearby big box home improvement store. I have a late 70's era Homelite XL Super 18 in. saw (purchased new by my dad) that still runs ok but it is very...

As suggested by several members that responded to my post it turned out to be an intake manifold gasket leak that was pinched/crimped during reassembly. The WD 40 trick suggested by SammyChevelle worked great to locate the issue. Thanks again to all who replied with suggestions and advice.

That could be it. Will troubleshoot more tomorrow.

Thanks for the info. This 2003 Accord has two cables going to the throttle body that manually activates it when you push gas pedal.

Replaced bad starter on my 2003 Accord 2.4l. Had to remove intake manifold and loosen throttle body to access it. New starter works great but now I have a rpm surge/ high idle condition. Car ran fine before starter replaced. I had the battery disconnected for few days and intake manifold...

Wow! Had no idea such a tool was even produced.
