    4.5 HP Briggs and Stratton Troubbleshooting

    I have a Poulan mower with a Briggs & Stratton 550 series I purchased in 5/09. For the first few years from the start I always had eratic idling, even took it back after a week of owning it and they had one of their mower "experts" fiddle with it and it did not help. Last mowing season began...

    New battery - 2002 Expedition

    I replaced a Motorcraft original battery in an 01 Windstar in 2011 It still tested and worked fine, but I figured it was about time to change it out as I live in northern Mn. I replaced it at the dealer with a new Motorcraft, why switch from a winner. Good Day, Steven

    Do I need a tablet?

    I had a Gateway from 07 till 2012 when someone offered me brand new Acer Iconia tablet (only has a 10" screen). Really did not think I would like it or use it much, but after a few days with it I gave away my notebook. I thought for sure that I would never want a small screen, but the 10"...

    Another M1 noise story

    Tig, I agree with you Quite is Quite, but quiet is silence. By the way I have been using Mobil 1 (some Amsoil) since 1989, when I started looking into synthetics. Good Day, Steven

    Best 5w30 Dino For Cold Starts In -10 Degrees?

    I live in northern Minnesota (since 1987) and the only car that would not really warm up in the winters (up to -40f) was an Audi 4000, even with cardboard over the radiator. But 1 87 Cadillac Deville, 93 Pontiac Grand Prix, and a 01 Windstar (with regular yearly flushes) all run perfect in the...
