I want to buy a new string trimmer and ultimately want some recommendations for what to get. I am in the buy once / cry once crowd, so let's make this a good one. I want a major brand like Sthil, Echo, Red Max, Husqvarna etc. In short, I am just a homeowner, but I want to buy a very high...

I have a relatively new house, and the roof leaked causing a stain. I took care of that issue and now that 6 months have passed, and I am 100% sure that problem is resolved, I wish to fix the stain on my second-floor ceiling. Above that is attic. I replaced the insulation that was wet when it...

I have had success repairing a Honda EU2000 twice, and a Yamaha EU220iS (see this forum for details), and now a friend of mine asked me for help with his string trimmer a Husqvarna 128LD. It’s worth maybe $239 new, so not a valuable machine. Anyway the story goes that he replaced the gas tank...

What are your thoughts on me switching from 10W-30 Synthetic Havaoline and/or Mobil 1 To the same brands but 5W-30 in my small engines including: Honda EU2000i Honda EU2200i And Yamaha EF2200iS The reason I am asking is that I have less than a quart of 10W-30, but because I no longer have a...

I have another piece of equipment (another generator) which I need to add an hours meter. I have a log book and it has 23 hours on it. Incrementing a new hours counter to 23 hours sucks. Does anyone have an easier way? I am currently just attaching it to a blower and running an engine.

Have a new Yamaha 2200IS generator. It seems to be misfiring at idle... almost sounds electrical. Can you take a listen and give me some pointers? Thus far I installed a Hardline Tachometer/Hour meter and put 3.7 hours on it. At any rate the RPM is spot on around 3500 in Eco and 4900 at full...

I did my first oil change on my 2024 CX-5. It now has 1,113 miles on it. Used a factory oil filter and Mobil 1 0w-20 Now what do I do next? Do I do +2000 at 3000 +3000 at 6000 +4000 at 10000 Then every 5000 OR +4000 at 5,000 Then every 5000

Can I just use 2 stroke gas in all my lawn equipment like a push mower? I mean 50:1 doesn't seem like much oil and it probably wont smoke. It just seems easier than keeping two different fuels. Yeah I know it's like a few dollars of Red Armor in each gallon, so it's wasteful, but any harm...

Is Oregon the OEM carburetor parts provider for ZAMA? This is what I ordered this for an Echo BG 55 blower… https://www.powerequipmentwarehouse.com/rb89-zama-carb-kit I received this… should I just accept this when the listing says “Manufacturer ZAMA”

I want to start mixing my own 2 stroke gas but want to ask how you all do it? What container to store it in, what pump gas, and what oil, and how much oil? I have some lawn and garden tools like an Echo blower, Stihl 2 stroke weed eater, an old hand-held home lite blower, a small Echo...

I want an OEM carb rebuild kit for a Stijl BG55 blower. Where can I find ir on the Internet? Any recommendations for a good vendor?

My Mom was quoted $144 for a Mazda Cx-5 oil change. Iis that excessive? I haven’t paid for an oil change in years myself…

Am I allowed to switch back. Right now I have 5w-30 Mobil 1 Extended Protection API SP in my 2013 G37, which calls for API SN. My father parents got rid of their 5w-30 vehicles and they have a couple 6 quart boxes of Havoline Syntheric 5w-30 SN+. At any rate I always change the oil every 3750...

I love the car, but it has been hell trying to chase down vibrations driving and while braking. Last year it would shake while driving but only at certain speeds. I had Perelli P7 Centerato All Season Plus 2 tires. They were the worst tires I had in a decade. I have previously hd two sets of P7...

Good Evening: I have a 2013 G37 /w the 3.7 Liter VQ37VHR Current oil is Mobile 1 5w-30 API-SN installed March 21, 2020 Millage on oil is about 3,000 with about 78,027 on the vehicle. Normally, I change the oil every 3,750, but I have never driven only 3,000 in a year. What are your thoughts...

Good Day: My car lasted about 4 years and a few months on the first battery... Then I put in an Ever Start Max in February 2018. The car won't start unless jumped, but the alternator is working great. I take the battery back with receipt because it has a 3 year free replacement (no proration)...

Good Evening... Switched oils... think I have a problem or am developing a problem. I want some input. I have always had my car, a 2013 Infiniti G37, serviced at the dealership since new because it came with free oil changes for the first four years at 3,750 mile intervals, which is fine with...
