    Briggs plug 696202?

    Today I was looking for a briggs plug for my mower. I needed plug 692051. For a briggs 500E 140cc mower. I know that 692051 crosses with a Champion RC12YC. The only plug they had was a 696202. On the rear or the package it says that it replaces RC12YC. Made in 2021. I'm having trouble seeing if...

    After running... engine "coughs" then starts..

    Yard Machines 163 exi briggs. So I git the mower running. New carb, plug, oil, air filter. I mowed the lawn today and when I would stop the mower to empty the bag and then start it again, the engine, instead of firing right up, turns over slowly while popping or coughing, gets faster, and then...

    Best filter for 2.3 ecoboost (fl-910-s)?

    Been using fl-910-s filters for a while but wondering if I should change it up for a filter with less failures. I change at 5k but overkill is fine with me. Thanks.

    Yard Machines B+S 163CC white smike on startup

    Whenever I start my yard machines briggs and stratton 163 cc powered mower (no change oil system) it blows white smoke for a few seconds. I change the oil, air filter, and plug at the beginning of every season. I throw a few dashes off mmo into the gas at every fill up. Is it just getting old or...

    Predator 4375 no start

    I notice that the fuel is leaking from the fuel shutoff. I will replace this. Also will replace plug. But these alone shouldn't result in a no start, correct? I mean completely dead. I've watched a few videos where they replace the carb and it comes back to life. This generator has maybe 10...

    LiquiMoly hydraulic lifter additive for GM 1.4T?

    A while back I had some loud start up rattle. The problem solved itself after the next oil change. But I had bought a 2 pack of this additive. Should I throw it in anyway? Just changed the oil today. What would be the benefits? Ps... I had an equinox that seemed sensitive to oil thickness...

    K&N air filter after 2.5 years pic.

    This filter was installed in my Chevy Trax in March 2021. Caked on dirt on filter and pre filter side of intake tubing. However, the post filter side of filter and intake tubing was spotless. Clean as a whistle. Replaced today with paper filter.

    16 trax ac blows warm

    Recently the 16 trax ac started to blow warm. Full power, but warm. The hotter it is, the warmer the ac. Tried a recharge, which was a little low, to full, no help. I also notice that the driver side is kinda warm at night but the pass side is cool. I'm sweating to death. Any ideas?

    What do you use to lube and protect your hand tools

    I usually use 3 In One oil. A few drops on a set of pliers and then working them back and forth and you can see the crud coming out of the joint. Also, there is a youtuber named ScoutCrafter that likes to renew pliers and other tools. He uses a mix of ATF and acetone. That stuff can loosen...
