Does your LeSabre have an OnStar module installed in it? I do know that OnStar modules in some 2004 Chevrolet models have been known to be the source of intermittent parasitic drains. The solution has been to either pull the fuse for the OnStar module or to unplug it. By the way, 2004 and...

Without being able to see a couple of circuit board "landmarks" such as a couple of mounting holes or where a wires connector connects to the circuit board, it will be hard to locate parts relative to the burn mark(s) on the solder side of the circuit board. However if the oblong solder area in...

I second @joegreen with his recommendation for Berryman's B-12. It is many times more powerful than Seafoam for cleaning carburetors!

Another place to check for parts is Ted's Mower S&S, Inc. located in Omaha, NE. Here is a link to their website - https://www.tedsmower1.com/ They have a large selection of new and used (in good condition) parts for discontinued products. Good Luck!

Lots of cheap aftermarket starters are available from Amazon, e-bay and other OPE parts websites. My advice is to stay away from them. I have purchased a couple and they were junk. Stick with Genuine B&S starters if at all possible. I've had good luck with aftermarket parts (switches...

Nylog is the best!

Havoline 10w40 in the 1976 Buick Electra 225 and 1980 Chevy Impala. Havoline 10w30 in the 1992 Oldsmobile 88.

76 is supposed to be Top Tier. They are listed as being Top Tier at www.toptiergas.com/gasoline-brands/

I would say they are at fault. Also, they should have a stock of the "counterfeit bill detection" pens, or they could have held the bill up to the light to see the special thread that is woven into the bill. Bad customer service in my opinion.

I go to both Sam's Club and Costco because they carry different products that I want to purchase. Costco no longer carries tires for the cars we own, so using Sam's Club this time around. I generally purchase gas at Costco because it is Top Tier. If one doesn't carry an item we want, the...

I just purchased a set of tires from Sam's Club online and I believe the sale ends TODAY May 4, 2025.

Just as an FYI, a replacement belt tensioner spring on my Toro riding mower sells for about $11.00 at Jack's Small Engines (https://jackssmallengines.com)

You are quite welcome!

Sorry about the Stens mix-up. The correct Stens part number is 440-433. The part price is for the magneto, however. In my vehicle/OPE spreadsheet that I use to log maintenance/repairs, I also have a section with common repair parts part numbers and brands for each vehicle/ piece of equipment...

OK, likely the same engine as the one on mine. I would go with a B&S 591459 Armature-Magneto ("ignition coil"), a Stens 520-441, or a Rotary 9293. Just as an FYI, Equipatron sells the B&S OEM part for $40.55 (plus shipping) and Amazon sells the Stens part for $40.89. Also, Amazon is currently...

Since I do not know what engine is in your friend's DYT 4000 mower, I would advise to purchase an OEM coil or one from Stens, Rotary or Oregon (decent aftermarket brands) and install it. I hesitate to purchase no name parts like that from anyone (internet sellers or brick and mortar shops)...

I would also contact the Maryland Insurance Administration and file a complaint. You might also consider contacting the Maryland Attorney General's Consumer Protection Division as well.

Regarding the interlock safety switches - I too own a Craftsman DYT 4000 lawn tractor and had a strange electrical problem - mower ran fine until I put it in gear and released the brake. I checked all the interlock switches - all were good. I checked the wiring point to point - all good...

I just make sure I shake the containers (quarts, 5 quart jugs, or 6 quart boxes) a couple of times a day for 3 or 4 days prior to use in case anything has settled out. So far no solids have been left behind in the container or noticed when it's being poured into the engine oil fill hole.
