I left my lawn tractor outside we got 1/2 inch of rain. I left the gas cap off which is 4 inches in diameter. So I figure I got 3 to 4 ozs of water in there. Should I be concerned? The tank is 2.5 gallons. Should I drain it. I go through about 1 gallon a week.

I was given a xr2500 pressure washer wthe a GC190. It looks like it was used hard, never had the oil changed, never had the s p changed, and the pump was fashizzled. It was manufactured April of 2003. It has been sitting outside, unused for 5 yrs. Brought it in, took off the old pump, changed...

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...

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.
