Thanks to everybody who helped me out. It does have a screen it the bottom of the of the fuel tank, but I am going to buy the filter that Rlitman talked about in his post and get a shutoff valve to. Thanks again.

So I was doing a little tune-up to my new to me, used snowblower and wanted to know why no fuel filter? It is a 3hp two stroke. So is it cause its a two stroke? Sense I have no fuel in the tank, would it be a good Idea to put one on? Thanks.

So I was on Kijiji tonight and found a Clarke mig welder 100E for sale for a $150 bucks. I know its not the best welder but for the money what do you guys think. I don't want to buy a big welder yet cause it won't get very much uses but at least I can stick two pices of metal with it. I know...

Yes thay do have the hollow shafts, The sizes are 5mm, 5.5mm, 6mm, 7mm, 8mm, 10mm and a 13mm.

And so it starts, I got myself my first set of Wera metric nut drives today. Got them on sale at KMS Tools for $39.95. Now I just have to wait for the SAE to go on sale. Can't wait to try them out.

So I am about to build my first engine, or at least take it apart and get somebody to put it back together. :) It is a 292 Chev inline 6. So my question is what do you guys do to organize your parts when you are doing a engine build? Do you use something you can buy or do you have homemade...

Thanks for posting this video. As a young guy, I look foward to meeting people like this guy. I have learned a lot about work and life from men like this.

I will look like one smart cookie the next time I cut a bolt and fix the thread when somebody is watching. Thanks guys.
