    IR sauna penetrates the skin deeper and is suppose to heat up your internal organs more than a traditional sauna. Like your liver which is called by some a powerful processing plant. It is recommended to those with chronic illnesses like lyme disease and long term low grade infections that your...

    sauna or hot-tub; for aches and pains

    They are different and achieve different things while there is some overlap. The major benefit of Sauna helps you to sweat out toxins. The hot tub improves circulation and a good powerful jet can massage soar muscles. Joint a health club that has both and see how your body responds to each...

    Toro Tecumseh Lost Compression; found a screw

    If it were me, I would keep my eye out for a used similar Toro with the LEV 120. Maybe one with an ugly deck but good running engine. You can do an engine swap in short time. You also may be able to put a Briggs Quantum engine on that deck as well. You just need to make sure the blade ends...

    Toro Tecumseh Lost Compression; found a screw

    I would run it until it does not function to your needs. You can put straight 40 weight in the engine and it may slow down any oil burn and give a bit more compression. You seem to indicate it was fine (or good enough) until this abruptly happened. If you have or can borrow a leak down tester...

    MAG 1 conventional oil

    Thanks for that link. I have been working on small engines for a over 10 years and I do not know of any Briggs mower engine that requires synthetic oil. The only requirement I know of is what I shared from Briggs in post 37. If the engine is used over 100 deg F then they suggest Synthetic...

    I still do not understand your response. What Cman model number and what Briggs engine? Maybe I will learn something new.

    MAG 1 conventional oil

    I was hoping for 3rd party testing or people sharing their UOA. Perhaps some kind of Independent lab testing data. Or even a guy like Project Farm with some type of test. I know the links posted to the company spec sheets are factual. Even though I already glanced over them before I asked my...

    MAG 1 conventional oil

    I am pleasantly surprised there are so many responses in so little time. However, I guess no one knows of any performance data with the MAG 1. With all of the oil nerds on here I expected something. I am using it in air cooled small engines that recommend 10w-30.. My local Indy auto parts...

    Should I change type of oil for a vehicle that is burning it ?

    By the way, I have a Kia Sedona with over 200k miles on it. It burns very little oil. I never have needed to top it off between oil changes. I am changing it every 6k and run full syn 5w-30. The previous owner used 5w-30 and that is why I kept using that grade when I bought it. The spec is...

    MAG 1 conventional oil

    I have a curiosity about MAG 1 conventional motor oil with FMX technology. What exactly is FMX and is it hype or a legitimate and unique benefit to the product? I have done some online searches and there are two camps. One say it is the same as Super Tech. Another says it is a step above. As...

    Should I change type of oil for a vehicle that is burning it ?

    It looks like a majority of people are in the Valvoline Restore and Protect camp. I was going to say run a high mileage oil like Valvoline Max life or a less expensive High mileage Super Tech (which people here say is a good product). I have had good experience with both reducing oil...

    Self propelled mower. Gas or electric?

    Look for a well kept Used 10 to 15 year old Toro with a Briggs Quantum or Honda engine. Depends where you live you may get it for anywhere between 100 and 250. It may last the rest of your life if you store it inside and do the basic maintenance. I think Hondas are nice but over priced for...

    Finding a spindle for my older zero turn

    without seeing the machine it is hard to say if a $180 investment is worth it or not. It is a judgement call with many factors to consider. It is not black or white. With the Tariffs soon kicking in, more so than before it may make a lot of sense. But it is a big picture judgement call based...

    Finding a spindle for my older zero turn

    Husqvarna is well know for not supporting legacy parts. I would assume they have killed it long ago. Someone earlier suggested rebuilding the old spindles by replacing the ball bearings. Maybe add some set screws to hold the out race from spinning.????That may be the best approach less...

    Should mower engine need to always use choke to start?

    If you are testing it right , that may be the problem or one of your problems. When setting the air gap you said you used a business card. That is ok as long as it is one of the thinner traditional cards. They are .010 thick. Many today are now thicker. If you can measure it with a...
