I notice that the fuel is leaking from the fuel shutoff. I will replace this. Also will replace plug. But these alone shouldn't result in a no start, correct? I mean completely dead. I've watched a few videos where they replace the carb and it comes back to life. This generator has maybe 10...

A while back I had some loud start up rattle. The problem solved itself after the next oil change. But I had bought a 2 pack of this additive. Should I throw it in anyway? Just changed the oil today. What would be the benefits? Ps... I had an equinox that seemed sensitive to oil thickness...

This filter was installed in my Chevy Trax in March 2021. Caked on dirt on filter and pre filter side of intake tubing. However, the post filter side of filter and intake tubing was spotless. Clean as a whistle. Replaced today with paper filter.

Had to replace the valve cover today. Pcv is integrated into the valve cover and intake. Waiting on the intake to fail... Anywho here is a pic with the cover off. Got it at 25K and have been using name brand full synthetic. 90K now. Going by OLM.

Recently the 16 trax ac started to blow warm. Full power, but warm. The hotter it is, the warmer the ac. Tried a recharge, which was a little low, to full, no help. I also notice that the driver side is kinda warm at night but the pass side is cool. I'm sweating to death. Any ideas?

OLM is at 5 percent. Earliest appointment at Ford for the 22 Explorer 2.3 Turbo is in late September. It's a lease, but I might wind up buying it out. So now I get to choose my own oil and filter and ask you guys about it! Changing myself. Will be buying at a local AutoZone or AdvanceAP. Whaddya...

I usually use 3 In One oil. A few drops on a set of pliers and then working them back and forth and you can see the crud coming out of the joint. Also, there is a youtuber named ScoutCrafter that likes to renew pliers and other tools. He uses a mix of ATF and acetone. That stuff can loosen...

I pick a different additive every week. Tell me what to add on this sweaty Monday. 🥵

I see Amazon is selling both of these at the same price. This would be for the Trax. What would you guys and gals choose? Following OLM. 90K miles.

Mine has to be the most recent. Yard Machines 675exi Briggs and Stratton. 163 cc. MTD. Never Change oil model. I do, of course. Lasting a long while. Use Sta-bil, some MMO, some left over Gumout, and lately Sta-bil Small Engine Pro in the oil and gas. It seems like the fail point on two other...

You guys are a knowledgeable, yet "old ways" bunch. I think that's a good thing. So... which hill? Could be brand related, engine related, fluid related... whatcha got?

Today the car was running rough. Engine hiccups and stuttering. Low on power and acceleration. Then the CEL started blinking and traction light came on. CEL never came back, traction light comes and goes. Still runs the same. Ran codes, got nothing. Heeeeelp! 2016 with 85K.

Oh man. 2, maybe 3 years since I changed the oil in a Yard Machine 163cc with a Briggs and Stratton Never Change Just Top Up... the shiniest oil I have ever seen! Seems to be running awesome, but that shook me a little. If changing the oil gets you a few more years, then it's totally worth it. 5...

Saw it on Amazon while looking for old fashioned MMO. What is this stuff? Thanks.

Just wondering. I see it from time to time. Good to go?

I found that camshaft profiles are interesting, as well as tire tread design. To design a cam for different uses, as well as tires, is super interesting to me. Raining at the 24 hours of LeMan? I'm gonna design the perfect rain tire for your team. Seems so cool...

I don't see many actual trip posts on this site. Figured I would add one. For those who are out west, I-95 is the main thoroughfare on the east coast which travelers use from Maine to Florida. Done it a few times. Anyhoo... I've noticed that aside from pickup trucks, there are many more...
