    Important Tech Tip When Running a Mower on the Bench

    Lucky I didn't catch any shrapnel. I did, in my younger days, mow a little piece of two by four on the bench. A 'shard' hit me in the leg and left a big purple and black bruise that lasted a couple weeks. Just a little 'visual/literal' reminder of what not to do. Like cleaning the carb and...

    Stihl Chainsaw Not Oiling

    It actually worked putting a bit of permatex on each side to help seal the bar against the outlet. Just not enough. Ordered a new pump today. Whoo Hoo!

    Stihl Chainsaw Not Oiling

    Well, tomorrow, after it dries, I'll try this. If it doesn't work, I'm going to assume the oil pump is tired and not shooting enough oil out of the port. Like they say, it's only dumb if it doesn't work... Now I wonder if this saw has an adjustment to increase oil flow like my Farm Boss does.

    Stihl Chainsaw Not Oiling

    That's the thing. When the cover and bar are out of the way, oil comes out when I rev it. The oil pump is working, but oil isn't getting out to the bar. Weird. Everything is very clean, and the oil hose isn't clogged. It's just not getting on the bar.

    Stihl Chainsaw Not Oiling

    My MS 192 TC chainsaw is not oiling. When the bar is off, oil comes out when the machine is running, but it doesn't oil when put together. Oil port not sealing against bar? Any ideas? I'm also heading to YouTube to do some research.

    2014 Dodge Journey cooling question

    Four Cylinder. It doesn't leak, but over the summer it seemed (felt under the hood) to run a little hot. Again, didn't overheat according to gauge.

    2014 Dodge Journey cooling question

    The radiator on my 2014 Dodge Journey doesn't leak. There are no coolant leaks anywhere, and the car doesn't overheat. But, when I remove the cap after getting the engine up to operating temperature, no pressure is released. This has never been the case on any of my other cars. I honestly forgot...

    Value - 2006 Honda Nighthawk 3300 Miles

    It actually looks pristine in the pictures on Facebook. Doesn't mean it is of course, but i guess I'll see tomorrow. Was one of four bikes used in a Motorcycle Safety Class. The other four sold for an average of 600 more for each. Last one has been on Facebook for 18 weeks. Wrong time of the...

    Value - 2006 Honda Nighthawk 3300 Miles

    It seems these thing sell very quickly here in Nebraska. I have a 2006 Nighthawk I'm considering buying for two grand. It has 3300 miles on it and looks to be in as near perfect condition as possible. Any thoughts?

    How sharp is too sharp? Sharpen new blades?

    I like it when I flip a mower on it's side (after getting it running) to drain the oil, and I find a new blade installed upside down. I can then inform the customer that their blade is new for the second time.

    How sharp is too sharp? Sharpen new blades?

    The little cone shaped blade balancers don't do any better than the old 'nail in the wall' if you can see to center things. Many blades don't have a round hole in the middle anyway. Bending a slightly bent blade end (1/4 inch or less) is relatively simple if you have a bench mounted vise to hold...
