    New or Used Air Compressor?

    Exactly. My point is not that it can’t happen, anything can happen. The chances of it happening are near zero. It’s the equivalent of saying “don’t go outside ever in your life because you never know, you could be struck by lightning.” I would argue the likelihood of being struck by lighting is...

    New or Used Air Compressor?

    “Almost 200 years of collective experience and none of us have ever seen this”

    New or Used Air Compressor?

    Yup, corrosion/rust will make small leaks first 99% of the time. Even if a big area somehow all rusted through at the same exact rate, it would let out a big puff of air and be done. The only way I can think of an air compressor exploding like a grenade is if the pressure switch failed so it...

    New or Used Air Compressor?

    For homeowner use once or twice a year, why would anyone need 60 gallons? Sure, bigger is better for continuous spraying, but that’s unnecessary imo.

    New or Used Air Compressor?

    I bought a Grip Rite GR2500 at a local auctioneer for $25, tax included. It’s beat up, but builds air and performs without issues. I would like a larger tank, but for how often I undercoat vehicles (2x a year total) it works no problem. I would prioritize a compressor that is oiled. They last...

    Stihl FS94R weedeater; clogged exhaust port

    I will echo that Saber is also very good. My top 3 are Saber, VP, and Red Armor for price/performance. JASO-FD is mandatory imo.

    Evaporative cooling in the drive thru.

    Valvoline Restore And Protect 2 Stroke Oil?

    The claim is cleaning existing carbon deposits specifically. Preventing deposits is another thing entirely. Red Armor does clean carbon deposits.

    Valvoline Restore And Protect 2 Stroke Oil?

    YouTube is a platform. It has both very in depth and well thought out studies as well as drivel from shills. There are many videos on YouTube showing evidence of Red Armor cleaning, as well as on forums. So far, all I’ve heard is someone claim Red Armor doesn’t clean without any evidence to back...

    Valvoline Restore And Protect 2 Stroke Oil?

    Really? Red Armor removing carbon is pretty well documented, both on forums and YouTube, as well as their marketing claims.

    Valvoline Restore And Protect 2 Stroke Oil?

    I’ll have to look into it more, but I’m not convinced a fuel injector cleaner, whether it be solvent based or PEA based, would be ideal. Solvent based would obviously be bad because it would simply dilute the lubrication of the oil and stop it from clinging as well. PEA might help with hard...

    Valvoline Restore And Protect 2 Stroke Oil?

    OP is clearly saying that Red Armor is the only 2 stroke oil that claims cleaning explicitly, and I think he’s correct. I don’t know of others that make the claim. Red Armor does a good job at cleaning, it’s what I’m currently running. I agree that Valvoline Restore and Protect or another...

    Amsoil 10w-30 Small Engine Oil noisier than SAE 30 in Briggs and Stratton

    In this case though, OP is wanting to move from Amsoil ASE, which (at least previously) was a no VII 10w30/SAE 30 oil, and move to a traditional SAE 30.

    Stihl FS94R weedeater; clogged exhaust port

    Sithl oil in general is terrible imo. No reason to use any oil without an FD rating when FD oils are so easily available and affordable.

    Amsoil 10w-30 Small Engine Oil noisier than SAE 30 in Briggs and Stratton

    As others have said, I would double check the valve lash. I have a John Deere 757, which is a Kawasaki engine. Been running Amsoil 10w30 in it with great results. I have quite a bit more hours than you, 464 hours. I just adjusted valves today and they were woefully out of spec. Even with the low...

    Mobil 1 ESP 0W30 vs Mobil 1 Advanced Clean 5w30?

    I would echo what @panthermike said. Any of the 3 oils mentioned should be able to do this without issue.

    Walmart or Costco Batteries

    Yeah, it’s luck of the draw with batteries these days it seems. I will buy a higher tier model if I have bad luck with the value line or if they are out of stock locally.

    Walmart or Costco Batteries

    My opinion is why would I mess with the hassle of a warranty when I can just buy Everstart Value line for $76 and it will last 80%+ as long as the more expensive models?
