Stop may be a bit extreme but it's gone from needing oil at every second useage till still full after four cuttings... No it wasn't a miraculous cure... After a fresh change with QS GB straight 30W and using the remainder for add, I started adding the Delo... First couple cuttings with Delo it...

Apparently I've bragged one time too many on the original NGK plug in my '04 Honda, it's done, 2016 ain't happnin'.. Got mower out yesterday to cut ankle deep grass(been mild & wet here), about half through front it started sputtering and coughing back in the carb... Hummm sounds like ignition...

All were pushed into the corner with whatever treated gas that was in them, none had more than 1/4 tank... Each was filled with same gas I bought last fall... The '87 on right lit off first pull on the rope... Of course I use the 90* tilt method(spark plug down for two sec) before cranking to...

All these except the JM Fields are SF and interestingly claim to save fuel(even the 30W)... The 10W-30 Fields dept store oil is MS and no doubt mid/late '60s...

After seeing me rebuild the '83 Snapper with a '04 Honda engine, one of my neighbors brought me a freebee mower yesterday... It's a cheap MTD with a Tecumseh that had no doubt been setting outside for a year or more(someone gave it to him)... First I noticed the red primer bulb on the carb was...

Here's results of mating a '05ish Honda engine from a POS front drive Craftsman to a '83 Snapper deck that originally was not self-propelled... Most of the drive parts came from a '82 parts Snapper and the differential came from the '81 Snapper that recently blew the engine... No I haven't...

Hi all, first post in the Small Engine forum, but a couple may have seen me bragging elsewhere on BITOG about my 1981 Snapper mower with a 3 1/2Hp Briggs & Stratton that still ran great... Well On Fri June 3, just before 6:00PM EDST, she bit the big one, RIP... It has used oil for years, so I...

My '07 Grand Marquis 4.6L with 43K mi, oil changed at 4.5-5K intervals using MC 5W-20 or 30(whatever I had on hand)... Bought used in May of '08 with 14.5K mi...

Hi Everyone I recently bought 2003 Marauder that had a Eaton Supercharger installed approx 6 months ago, also dyno tuned it produced 430RwHp, so I'm guessing crank Hp is around 480-490... Mileage at time of install was around 35K mi and has now just crossed 43K... Of course Ford recommends...
