I was at the local auto parts store looking around, when I saw the motorcycle version of their oil thickener. Has anyone used it ? ,and whats the difference between the two ?.,,

I have a 2002 Explorer with the 5r55w trans in it. It started acting up he other day, o/d light blinking and not wanting to shift right. I looked online and alot of people said it was a solenoid problem. Then alot said they did the repair, but it didn't last long. Then some said they had the...

I thought it would be interesting to see what everyone is paying, to fill their bike up . Last Saturday, I topped off and it cost me $23.65. That was for 3.9 gallons of premium @ $5. 69 a gallon. My bike holds 5 gallons when empty. That was a record for me.,,,

A few weeks ago my weed wacker quit running . It was running fine, just stopped. I filled it up with gas ,still wouldn't start. I pulled the plug, it was dry and didn't appear fouled or wet. After playing around with adjustments, it started and would run fine for the next few weeks. Today, I was...

This should quiet all the doubters. You can use this stuff on anything.,,

I have an older Murray snowblower with a 5 hp tecumseh motor on it, It starts and runs pretty good for being 26 years old. Last time I used it it seemed like at top speed it was kinda weak and struggling to throw snow, and move itself through the snow. I went online and bought one of those cheap...

I've been busy doing somethings I wanted to do, and some I had to do. After looking around for a couple of years, I finally found a set of factory mag wheels to replace my spoke wheels. The spoked wheels are getting a bit worn looking, plus I don't want to get another flat where the bike has to...

I changed my wife's oil in her Equinox with a Mobil 1 ext perf cartridge filter. It claims to be good for 20k miles or 1 year of service. The car will eat oil if I don't use my mix of oils that seems to slow down the consumption. I was thinking about changing the oil at 5k per the olm, but...

A friend asked what some old steel cans he had in his collection might be worth. Any Ideas where to find that info? I looked on Ebay and the internet, and can't find any for sale even. Tia.,,,

Just like the heading says. Has anyone with a motor that runs fine, but had a UOA that has numbers that made them nervous, actually do motor work based on the numbers?.,,,

I was looking on E-Bay at small motor carbs for sale, and found the deal of a lifetime. I found a brand new carb for my old Murray snowblower for sale ,shipping included to my house, no taxes involved for $12.35. It took 2 weeks to get here, but that was no problem. I swapped it out for my old...

I was doing a OC on my wifes 2011 Equinox 4 cyl. It calls for 5/30 wt Dexos oil. I thought the jug I bought was the right stuff, but I mistook the nascar logo for the dexos logo and put the oil in. I don't expect anything bad will happen, but wanted to find out what Dexos exactly is and what...

I'm about to change the oil on my wifes '11 Chevy Equinox. First time so I went on you tube to see where the oil filter is. It seems they use just a replacement element, rather then a spin on can. It doesn't appear to have any type of bypass designed in it. I was gonna use a Napa filter, any...

I've tried to buy parts locally. I have a NAPA 2 blocks from my house, but they never have anything I need. They give me the "we can order it for you" line every time. Heck, I can order parts myself and have them delivered to my house tax and shipping free. Even the three other chain places...

I went looking for replacement struts for my '02 explorer online, and the prices are all over the place. So to try and use what has given me good service, I'd like to stick with whatever brand the vehicle came with, but who made them? And whats a decent replacement brand?. I don't want to spend...

Yesterday I went out in the garage to grab my gas can to get filled in case I need it for my snow blower. I usually put a splash of carb cleaner and MMO in the can to treat the gas ahead of time. When I picked up the MMO, the bottle fractured into plastic shards in my hand. I didn't even try to...

I have a weed wacker that's 3 years old. It has been easy to start, but stutters and wants to stall when you give it gas. There's no mixture screws on the carb, just epoxied holes where the screws should be. I would think if it's gummed up it would be hard to start, and wouldn't want to idle...

I picked a newer looking Craftsman mower off the curb yesterday. It spins and I was able to get it to run after pulling and cleaning up the plug. The only thing I can see wrong is the po must have put a whole qt of oil in it, because when it runs it starts blowing oil out the large tube that...

I found this online and don't see why they would recommend Diesel oil over those oils made and sold as motorcycle specific oils. Everything you wanted to know about oil can be found here: http://www.petro-canada.ca/pdfs/englube.pdf The Codes are listed here starting about page 34 "S" – SPARK...
