    Craftsman/Kohler Riding Mower Runs & Blows Fuse

    As a small engine mechanic I have seen this several times.... Most of the time it was due to a faulty regulator or a shorted stator under the engine flywheel. Also as mentioned earlier hold your hand on the carburetor anti backfire solenoid and if it gets hot, replace it..... because it...

    Mazda 40:1 compression engines?

    Watched an awesome video the other day on how Mazda is supposedly fixing to revolutionize the combustion engine technology. They are even going to use this technology in a new rotary engine also...... Essentially they run a super lean mixture that is so lean that it will not self ignite...

    generator

    Built in whole home generator and propane. Best money we ever spent and most companies have financing available. I'm a big fan of the Kohler commercial grade engines since I rarely have them come in the shop besides owner neglect. Ours is 20kw and can take that load in one step. My vote is for...

    best gas stablizer

    All of the commercial guys in this area run OPTI2, as do I. It has stabilizers in the oil already and it's a "one mix for all". I have ran this stuff for 20 years and have had zero problems with my OPE and ethanol free fuel. Sometimes my stuff sits 6 months or more at a time depending on the...

    Gas trimmers

    I have a heavy duty echo kioritz SRM3100 I bought back exactly 20 years ago and it still runs good to this day..... it's a heavy mother trucker though...... I recently bought another commercial grade husquavarna 525lst and it lighter and smoother and I love it! I maintain my 55 acre farm and a...

    Platinum or Iridium Plugs for OPE?

    The junkiest automatic transmission ever manufactured?

    Originally Posted by supton I generally think Toyota (Aisin?) has something against the concept of convertor lockup--they are quick to unlock and push too tall of a gear. I can repeatedly get lower rpm in my truck by commanding downshifting on a hill. It'll push 6th unlocked rather than 5th...

    2004 tundra v8 downstream 02 check engine light fix?

    The ol tundra has a check engine light on...... it's the downstream oxygen sensors saying that poor catalytic converter efficiency/below threshold. I replaced the oxygen sensors a few months ago but had a feeling it was gonna be the cats. My question is that rather than spending $1000 on factory...

    In general - Autolite plugs?

    From my experience in the drag race world and just general usage, autolite are a low quality plug. We ran autolites in all of our nitrous engines because of the low quality, (compared to others) the plug would melt before the piston. In my 2004 tundra I installed the autolite iridiums because...
