    Just Ordered A New Weed Whacker

    Actually no. This is very close to the proper procedure. Ensure the spark arrestee is clean and present ..l, do not permanently remove the spark arrestor. Do this and as you are turning the high-speed jet in and it runs faster and faster, you will get to a point where it is too lean and...

    Restaurant adding things to your bill.

    I don't mind them adding 18% gratuity if the service was good... I just tip $0 if the gratuity is added. In contrast if they refill the drinks, stop at the table a couple times, they get 20%; hence, I am not upset with gratuity unless the service is terrible.

    Potential Motor Oil Shortage For Lighter Weight Oils

    Yup. That is all I am saying folks are likely to need to do. It is NOT optimal to need to buy quarts for example when they are say $8 to $10 at Walmart and you need 5 of them and your favorite 5 quart jug usually runs maybe $23... It is also maybe less than ideal to maybe have to substitute...

    Potential Motor Oil Shortage For Lighter Weight Oils

    I just went to my local Walmart today and they had no Mobil 1 except in quarts and it was only 10W-30 extended performance or whatever they call the gold label… they had in stock. There was no 20 weight of any kind of Mobil 1. They did have 5W-20 in Castrol GTX and Edge. Walmart’s super tech...

    Buying a new String Trimmer

    I bought an Eco 2620 PAS last summer… it’s a beast! I also have a Honda that’s pretty nice, a green works battery powered thing, and a plug in Black and Decker that takes a cord

    How to stop cement from sweating in spring?

    Long story short... warm air holds more moisture and larger mass holds temperature, so concrete is likley to be cold. If it is below teh dew point, water condenses on it the same as water condensing on the outside of a glass of ice water. Take a look at this...

    Driving with windows down and fuel efficiency

    Well... I roll down windows only if I am going through a drive through and need to be handed something otherwise rarely if the interior is super hot, I roll down the windows long enough to drop the cabin temp from say 130 F (parking) to maybe 95 F (it is hot in SC). Then the air-conditioner...

    Small Engine Spark Plug

    Okay CR7HIX for the Die Hard gen, BPR6EIX for the genuine Yamaha, and for Honda CR5HIX… I just need to ensure I have the screw on spark plug nut

    Small Engine Spark Plug

    Why is the Torch a 5 heat index but the NGK a 7 recommended ?

    EPA Issues Waiver Allowing E15 Ethanol Gasoline Sales Through Summer

    I live in SC and current fuel prices are about $3.79 per gallon of 87 E10. I usually purchase 87 E10 Top-Tier only and typically get it at Costco because it is 7 minutes from my home, line takes 2 minutes, and it is about $3.39 This last weekend I drove half way across the state in my 2024...

    Small Engine Spark Plug

    I would not be surprised either that they use a hotter Torch plug to not have a misfire knowing that NGK will do better, but who knows.

    Small Engine Spark Plug

    Turns out this was a less stupid question before I physically got eyes on it the answer is pretty clear... Look at this sticker doh! Many people here recommended the CR5HIX... Now out of curiosity would an NGK CR7HIX be the most exact Iridium of the CR7HS on the sticker above?

    Small Engine Spark Plug

    A friend of mine has purchased a small generator from Costco. It's the Die Hard DHD2400iSCO Basically as far as I can tell it should in theory be identical to my Yamaha EF 2200iS except with a CO sensor and over-rated to 2400 without actually probably being able to deliver more. Anyway the...

    Tire plugs, who uses them?

    All below is only my opinion. Tire plugs existed long before internal combo patch/plugs (like Tech Uniseal) ever did. Obviously the new patch/plug combo is more likely to NEVER leak than just a plug, a plug is more convenient than driving to a tire shop and waiting half a day; it is not the...

    How cool does it have to get for you to air up tires at cold rating?

    I have the same inflater. It's great. I made a quick connect fitting for it. Here is the quick connect Next you need a 1/4 Valve stem male that you can screw your Milkakee onto https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001PLI4BA?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1 Remove the core and use pipe dope...

    How cool does it have to get for you to air up tires at cold rating?

    Somebody mostly answered that it is 10F per 1 PSI, but that is also the case with regard to driving the car. When driving tires heat up about 30 to 50 F above ambient depending upon speed, so if you have just been driving on the Interstate for a while and it calls for 33 PSI, you probably need...

    In-N-Out sues YouTube prankster

    That was probably just leverage against him. If I was a US District Court Judge, I would swat In-In-Out and tell them it is going to be very hard to prove competition etc. They are making a bunch of outlandish claims. Yes, he is a nuisance, but to bring a case in the US District Court it is...

    In-N-Out sues YouTube prankster

    I think the solution is just to trespass him... then if he shows up have him arrested. Problem solved. Using profanity on company property is not much of a cause of action.
