    New Echo es 400 chainsaw.

    No but I might do that. I guess after 24 yrs I figured the homelite didn't owe me anything.

    Favorite Oil Brand for OPE

    I use whatever store brand synthetic 5-30 at whatever store I'm in. They are all Warren manufactured or equally good brews.

    New Echo es 400 chainsaw.

    So yesterday I went to trim up a big tree in my yard. My 24 year old homelite 16 inch chain saw started right up. But as soon as I put a load on it the thing died. So I fiddled with it for about an hour and didn't get any improvement. So I decided I'm going to get a new one. I went to home depot...

    Snow Tires Without Studs Are Worthless.

    I haven't used snow tires since the early 80s. The all weathers on my 2 front wheel drive and 4 wheel explorer work great and I've never once had a problem driving in snow. Our tire rep says snow tires are unnecessary with the technology of all weather tires. Even in Alaska or Buffalo NY. I can...

    Can i use motorcycle oil in my small tecumseh, Honda, and kohler engine?

    My kohler gets the most use about 60 to 70 hrs a year, in lawn tractor. I change it after about 30 hours , half season, and check in between. The 2 tecumsehs and 2 honda engines get used at most 12 to 20 hours a year, change once a year. Always check and top off if needed. None of my machines...

    New Honda EM6500X2AG Generator - Oil Recommendation?

    I use any store brand synthetic pep boys etc. In my Honda generator. It runs 6 hours a year for once a month test. Maybe 10 to 20 hrs for power failure. So 26 hrs max, then you change it at 1 year. Unless you use it everyday on a job site then keep it cheap... however some synthetics go on sale...

    Can i use motorcycle oil in my small tecumseh, Honda, and kohler engine?

    I just sold a Honda 250 that took 10-40 Dino m c oil, Castrol I think. My 3 garden engines takes 10-30. Is the 10-40 m c oil going to cause any problems? I use synthetic in my other bike so I have no need for it. I'm guessing small engines are more forgiving than our sophisticated car engines.

    Need a new ratchet/tool set

    Hey I would grab the Stanley set at the price. I'm a home mechanic not a pro. I have fallen in love with Husky tools from home depot but, I doubt they have a set like that for that price. Stick with what works.

    and its very much quieter. At the box when closed it 75+ decibles. At the closest point of my house about 65 db. Inside the house you can hardly hear it. At my closest neighbor it's 60 db. Just about the ambient decibel.

    So george you were right to call out the ventilation based on that first picture. Here's some better ones for those that are interested. The fans and vents keep the temperature between 85 to 110 when its all closed up. No more than a hot summer day.

    That may be a possibility. I'm afraid of messing with the spark plug boot. But it may be how I go.
