    Restored a freebie Shindaiwa T230X trimmer

    Fantastic machine. Light with good power. Only thing it needs now is a speed feed head.

    Push Mower Stalling Out on Inclines

    Probably water sitting on the bottom, very common. Pull the bowl off and see what you find. If the main jet is incorporated into the bowl nut, that may be clogged also. In my experience debris from the tank is held back by the micro screen filter and never reaches the carb. It's water reacting...

    Does Purolator have any QC?

    I bought a pile of these when they were $2 on Amazon. Hadn't found any missing gaskets. Yet.

    YouTube advertising has lost it's mind and morality

    I haven't seen a youtube ad on my devices in ~15 years thanks to adblock. There's zero oversight. AI characters endorsing fake products and supplements. Targeted at a geriatric audience.

    Walmart oil prices - Ah!

    Just bought a set. Now to decide if it goes in the lawnmowers or a vehicle that's using 5w.

    current state of computer market

    Apple had to increase production due to unexpected demand. But if you need those extra features, the Air delivers and is a better value than its peers, especially if bought used/refurbished. All that assuming it can run the software you need.

    current state of computer market

    Every Windows laptop I bought over the last 15 years had unsolvable quirky issues before falling apart. My favorite was a Lenovo dropping a screw into the GPU fan in the middle of an Autodesk render. Waking up inside my backpack and cooking itself/killing the battery. Then keyboard keys dying...

    One tank of regular gas in Toyota 2.4 Turbo?

    Computer says less timing and HP for you, and sends you on your way.

    2005 B&S 6 HP Quantum Lawnmower “ The Brute”

    The primer stops working when the plastic warps and the little air channel doesn't seal. I fix them by putting some RTV on the plate side of the gasket.

    drained engine oil is red.

    I had a 3800 buick with a bad vacuum modulator that would dump transmission fluid into the crankcase. Used Valvoline Restore and Protect can also have a red hue.

    Better Grip Philips Bits?

    Valvoline Restore and Protect Fuel System Cleaner??

    I'd get more if I knew it worked as well as Redline. But I have no idea what's in it.

    Stihl Premium 2 stroke oil

    My local dealer has posters up warning not to use ultra HP in Echo products, apparently it was causing engine damage. I have no use for the stuff. Red armor works very well for me. No carbon buildup and all my equipment starts right up after sitting in the shed all winter.
