Partially cover the carb inlet with your hand (or credit card, or whatever). :rolleyes:

My pressure washer did the same until I changed the jet. Figure out how to activate 'partial choke' as a test.

The only downside (that I can think of) to having the plunger up is corrosion over months (years of storage). Sounds good to me.

Thanks for telling us how you got along. Many people never tell us how it works out. The pump fills by creating a vacuum so that fluid comes in from the reservoir. If the reservoir vacuum gets too big, fluid can't flow to the pump? I don't know if it is normal, but I "live with" mine doing...

Give it a try. Ten years from now, when you take it back apart, you can decide if you like it.

The rep at the S'burg SC event told me that he brought 20 batteries and 20 coupons. Everything was gone within 10 minutes.

Hold the governor linkage (throttle plate) steady and see if it still surges. If so, I think that it's in the engine (probably carburetion), if not, I think it's in the pump.

If it stops pulsing on partial choke, it is running lean.

I'm no expert, but these are my opinions: 1) yes 2) I don't know. Don't worry about the level. If there is too much oil, it will come out (see #4). If the saddle will not go up all the way, you may need more oil. 3) The rubber fill plug is only there to 'keep dirt out' and to 'keep the oil in...

With a lot of care (and double checking) I believe that I am able to make each measurement to within ±1mm. That leaves me with a "toe measurement" accuracy of ±2mm. YMMV. You are probably worrying about details that don't need this much attention. If the rear tires don't have the same amount...

What software does Torque Test Channel use for these "fastener drive force distribution" visualizations?

What do you say Yoshi? Does the other end unscrew?

What did you 'figure out'?

Let's say that someone here provides you with guidance and a diagram. How does that help you? You will just have another "instruction from some random dude on the internet". How do you choose which to believe? How about, you give us your best guess at what you need. Make us a schematic. We...
