I have a 3 car garage. It is fully spray foam insulated. I have a 24000 btu Friedrich thru the wall a/c. The unit was not working properly and I diagnosed it. The problem was the capacitors (it has 2). One to start it and a second one to keep it running. I removed the capacitors because I wanted...

Hey guys thank you all so much for all your suggestions, they are greatly appreciated. I've had circular saws and they are fine for a lot of things and in the hands of a pro you can "build a house". In my case I want to build workbenches and I don't want to make multiple cuts or wrestle with a...

The link was helpful because the manual i have doesn't even mention the capacitor. Ans it is a factory service manual. AN interesting thing is that the one you sent me has a picture on page 3 that looks like identical to the one I have and also the manual I have and neither show the location of...

To answer some of your questions or comments. I have the a/c unit on the floor of my garage so I could inspect it and get access to the fan and mor bushings. I did lubricate all the bushings a few times. That did not solve the problem, both fans turn freely when turned by hand. I know what most...

I have a Friedrich model SL24j30a-3 through the wall a/c in my garage. It does a great job cooling when it works. After searching through the internet it looks like the fault is the capacitor. I have the service manual for the unit but no where is a capacitor identified. When the unit is turned...

I need to get a wood cutting tool to build work benches and shelves for my garage. I will be cutting 4x4 and 2x4 lumber. I don't want a hand held circular saw. I will need something that will do straight cuts and angle cuts. As you probably can tell I am not a wood worker. Your suggestions...

The welder I purchased is a DC wlder.

I ordered this one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07ZNT6QXQ/?tag=atomicindus08-20 If the carbs don't fit I'll return it and order a bigger one. Wish me luck and thank you for your comments.

Neither do the batteries. I buy my batteries from Walmart because they usually expire before the guaranty period. Years ago I bought an Optima red top battery which did last a long time. Based on my experience I purchased a newer Yellow top which died prematurely. Fortunately I got a refund on...

I have several project cars with no battery or dead battery. They are all different sizes. I would go broke buying new batteries for all of them.

Thanks for all the comments and suggestions. I wound up buying one from Amazon https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0914S4D1T/?tag=atomicindus08-20

Sorry about carb dimensions but I assumed that the folks in this forum would be familiar with the size of a four barrel carburetor. I know some are bigger than others. I hoped that someone in the forum who has an ultrasonic cleaner for the purpose of cleaning carburetors would respond.

I am looking to buy a cheap (under $100) stick welder. I saw a video from Uncle Tony's Garage where he revived an old battery with a stick welder as charger. I have about a dozen old batteries sitting around that I could use on my cars. Call it an experiment. I already have a Miller mig welder...

I want to get an ultrasonic cleaner but I don't know what size (capacity) I need to clean carburetors. I have some Holleys and motorcycle carburetors that need to be rebuilt and cleaned. I know there are several threads on the topic but none of the address the size (gallons, liters) . I would...

For seven years I rented warehouse space (6,000 sq/ft) to store my cars and parts. But all that changed recently when my landlords expanding business needed the space.I sold as many cars as I could but that left me with 13 cars, 2 motorcycles, and heaps of parts. I rented 2 indoor storage units...
