I did everything I could to the HF generators. New spark plugs, starting fluid, I even went as far as crimping on a new terminal on the spark plug wire, as they have the chinciest set up you ever saw. I can find Shell Rotella, but is 0w40 really thinner than a 0w30 or 5w30? There isn't much...

It has been a while since I posted here. I am looking for advice for a cold weather oil for a generator. For years I ran a 2 stroke blue colored no name generator for my fish house, which saw most of its use November through February. I never once had a problem with that engine, it started in 2...

After looking over the data of dozens of greases, I have actually decided to cut down my grease, and only use Lubrimatic Marine on everything from now on. It is NLGI GC/LB rated, according to the data resists water than just about anything else on the market, and I can get it at a hardware store...

I know very few people who actually prefer the F150 for work. The strong majority want the ranger for the better gas mileage, and it still gets the job done. Anyone who tows, or hauls get the 3/4 ton or bigger. Yet the average person gets the 150 to tow their tiny boat and haul kids to school...

Looks like zoro is the cheapest, and free shipping too. Thanks for the help guys. As for the acetone/atf, yes its penetrating fluid. I've tried corrosionX, as well as dozens of penetrating fluids and nothing compares. They just cant sell something so toxic, it will take the hair out of your...

Looking over the data of various greases, I am starting to wonder why I don't use the Lubrimatic marine grease for everything. It has better water washout resistance than anything I have seen at 0.4%, it has a timken OK load of 65 lbs which is better than the synpower, and it has a better...

Feel free to move this if this is the wrong place for this topic. I absolutely love CorrosionX. I have been using it for the past 3 years or so and it is a great product. The problem is it is getting harder to find around me. The hardware stores no longer carry the aerosol cans. I cant even get...

I have most of my needs covered. I use Valvoline synpower for most of my grease. I also use Lubrimatic Marine for my boat and all trailers. What I need is a grease for offroad use like dirt bikes, snowmobiles, etc. on their chassis, bearings, etc. I am thinking a moly grease would be best, and...

Last year I rode my 99 yamaha yz 250 through the snow in the yard in about -20F. I never did put ice stud tires on it, but I might some time. It stated and ran just fine. A lot of people forget to richen the fuel mixture, which is probably why many carbed engines run bad in the cold.

You are right in that just being a synthetic oil doesn't mean it is automatically cleaner. It does have a cleaner base stock, but after that its all up to the additives. Some go for more protection like Motul, some are all about low smoke, low build up like Amsoil. And there are tons in the...

Here is a kind of spin off question. How will a coolant system flush affect barsleak stop leak? I put it in my truck to fix a small head gasket leak into cylinder 4, and it worked. It has been holding for 2 years. If I flush the system, will it possibly open up the leak? I guess the better...

I wasn't even talking about the twin cities. I grew up in Annandale, which is west of the cities about 60 miles. In places like Arizona it gets up to 110 F on the average day, and there are people there that love it. Even here in MN there are those people that every 90+ day its "Oh I love this...

I got a message back from CorrosionX. While it is food safe, he stated that a coating on a knife will almost certainly be safe. He said I would have to actually drink the stuff for it to be dangerous. I think I'll go ahead and use it.

I am currently waiting on a reply.

Hopefully this wont sound too stupid, but what do you mean by application? I'm sorry I can't post the threads I found years ago, I didn't keep track. I don't remember seeing any real numbers posted, just some people stating it was a common problem. I think 2012 was the year I first saw it. I...

I have been very impressed with corrosionX with everything I have tried it on. In the near future I plan on buying a gallon of it. I use it on everything, and it has basically replaced all my solvents/oils. The one area I find it lacks is as penetrating oil. Don't get me wrong, it does work, but...
