    Can you use the lever-control of a handle from an HRB215 ? There are some on ebay (full disclosure: I have one for sale there).

    can someone here fix some electronic boxes?

    Do you have the jpgs to which the doc you attached refers? The ones that show the part locations. If so, open it up and look if anything looks burned and if the fusible link is open or not.

    Beautiful! Need more pix of both. Where is the pull cord handle on the HR17?

    Teach me the routine for new TPMS ??

    On our 2014 Honda Odyssey, I had Autel MX-Sensors installed that were 'cloned' to have the same ID numbers as the original sensors. When the winter tires are on the car, the sensors appear to have the same ID as the ones in the summer tires, so there is not a need for reprogramming.

    Husqvarna AWD with a Honda engine

    In the video, the fuel valve appears to be in the off position, and typically fuel will not get into the carb when the valve is off. Have you tried turning it to the 'on' position?

    New Engine To Replace 3.5 Briggs?

    To add to the 'replace the carb' idea, if it is just a hard starting problem, one of these would probably work: https://www.amazon.com/TOPEMAI-7954...tank+9D902&qid=1593525044&sr=8-2 It is easy to replace.

    old lawnmower service?

    ^ Covered above about how to diagnose and the membrane part number 795083, which should cost less than $4. Another way to confirm the presence of spark and compression is to squirt Starting Fluid into the air intake after the air filter is removed. It should run for a short while if you have...

    A couple of Curb-Find mowers

    A few weeks ago, on a Sunday (garbage day) walk around our neighborhood, I came across a Craftsman 22" Self Propelled "Bob Villa Edition" mower. The owner was home and she said it was 'blown up', but I took it home anyhow. I got rid of the old gas and it eventually fired up, but was hard to...

    Lawn mower fuel tank mod

    It shows a lot of resourcefulness to make it work with what is already on hand! However, from an engineering standpoint there looks to be a lot of things that can go wrong. I'd be concerned with the vulnerability of the fuel line, whether the tank could fall off, general fire safety. I would...

    Driving Coast to Coast w/ Sight Unseen Car

    I have transported cars that i have purchased back to the Chicago area from Texas, Florida, Georgia, DC and Tennessee. These purchases have been thru dealers and from individuals. I don't treat it any differently than transporting them across town. I keep the paperwork handy in case police stop...

    OEM Oil Pan Engineering

    My opinion is it an engineering trade-off between cost, quality, durability and politics. Let's imagine I am the Engineering Manager in charge of an engine. The head has a flat surface and valve cover is cast aluminum (because it looks good) and our team needs to decide the design and process...

    Questions on 07 Accord front bumper replacement

    A few years ago I bought a non-capa, painted, rear bumper cover from ebay to fit a 2006 Accord. The silver color matched pretty good for a 170,000 mile car and it fit fine. They had better prices than the site in the above link. It may be hard to find a used front OEM cover that doesn't need...

    Oil pressure sensor leak - replace or not?

    Be careful: Do not overtighten! Note how low is the torque specification. Because of the tapered thread, if it it tightened too much, the boss may crack and then you'd have a nightmare of a project. (I know this from experience). Liquid thread sealant only.

    Garage floor epoxy, your experience.

    I also used the Rustoleum water based paint. It looked good for a long time. No hot tire pickup, but eventually it came up around all of the expansion joints. I am thinking I did not apply (with roller) it well right next to where I first trimmed it in -or- there is moisture that got in from...

    Crazy/Unusual Things You've Done To Buy a Vehicle

    Many years ago I was a poor, naive 18 year-old looking to buy my first motorcycle. In the classified was a Kawasaki 250, not running and at a good price, so I went to see it. The seller said a friend of his had given it to him as payment for a debt and he did not have the title but promised to...

    Any Volvo Owners, need some help!

    On my 2005 XC90 2.5T, I used this cheap throttle body for an intermittent 'Reduced Engine Power' message. I cannot remember the code that was set; sometimes it started and ran ok and other times it had reduced power. It acted as if it was doing a self-test at key-on and then if it passed was ok...

    04 Accord auto trans 180k miles

    The 4-cylinders are robust but the transmission in the V6 has a reputation of being not as durable.
