Hey guys. I have a "green machine" brand torpedo heater. Thing looks 20 years old, maybe older lol, says 150,000btu. Runs on kerosene or diesel. Last year i ran kerosene in it with no issue. This year im running diesel because its easier to get, and it doesn't want to ignite when it gets really...

The owners manuals to all of my outdoor power equipment bascailly say not to use fuel older then 30 days old. Just wondering if you guys think thats good advice, or are they playing it waaaay safe by using such a short time limit?

I finally got around to replacing my leaky valve cover gasket. I had no idea what to expect, but knowing it could have been much worse, im relatively pleased with what i saw. Ive owned the car for 5 years now. I purchased it from a friend who owned it, and neglected the living H out of it for...

Hey guys. Dealing with my 78 ranchero here. Maybe "flicker" isnt the right word, but when the headlights/dome light/dash lights are on, they are constantly dimming and brightening back up. They never shut off, and they never get so dim they're unusable, they just look like the voltage is...

Hey guys. I got a new Stihl line trimmer (weed eater) yesterday, and got a 6 pack of their Stihl HP Ultra synthetic oil with it. Mixed with a gallon of gas, it makes a 50:1 ratio. I was wondering if the this fuel mix would be ok to use on my older Mcculloch trimmer which requires a 40:1 mix. I...

Wasnt sure where to post this, but i was wondering if its somehow possible to clean an oil stain off of cement? after the spill happened i immediately took care of it with the cat litter style oil absorbent, which did a great job. but im now left with a huge black spot on what was a perfect...

hey guys. Was wondering if anyone could give me any advice on an issue im having. My 01 grand prix starts perfectly from a cold start, and ALWAYS runs perfectly once started.

Hello all. I started having an issue with my power steering a couple days ago. During regular driving, like turning corners and such, everything is fine. When you go to turn the steering wheel ALL the way to the left, or right, like say when your trying to maneuver in a parking lot, it becomes...

Hello. was wondering if anyone had ideas for me here. My 81 ford fairmont has had a slow blinker since i bought it 4 years ago. Today it stopped blinking all together. This problem exists on both the right and left blinkers. All bulbs are working, and the correct type. I replaced both battery...

Good morning all! This problem just started on my 81 ford fairmont. 3.3L in line 6 cylinder, 3 speed automatic. Car has 120,000 miles on it. New carburetor a few years ago, and new fuel and air filters at the beginning of this year. I thought a bad batch of gas may be responsible for this, but...

Hello, 3 times in the last 2 weeks this has happened. Ill be sitting at a red light, then when it comes time to go, i press on the gas, the engine revs but the car barely moves, then about 1/2 a second to 1 second later youll feel it jerk (grab) then the car takes off and everything is normal...

Ill be replacing the A/C compressor in my grand prix pretty soon, and i know its a recommended to replace the accumulator whenever you replace a compressor. Thats no problem, they both look pretty simple to get to. The orifice tube on the other hand, looks like a bear to get to. Just wondering...

hey guys. 2001 grand prix here. I went to use my A/C last night when i noticed the MAX A/c wasnt working. It would blow cold air, but it would not go into recirculate mode. Then after that i noticed air just came out of the front vents and floor only, no matter what position the switch was in...

Hey guys. I was looking around on local garage sale facebook pages tonight when i came across this bike. The lady was originally asking $75, then had lowered the price to $50. I thought this would make a great first bike for my son this spring, so i offered her $40. She accepted. Now im second...

Would you use this?

ran across this on one of my local facebook garage sale pages. Guys asking $15 a can, or all 5 for $50. They're new/sealed. Not sure if they're 4 or 5 quart. I offered him $5 for one and he declined. Just wondering, what would you pay for one or all of these?
