oh, and, the best non stick coating I've found so far after many experiments is a spray/mist bottle of decent quality mopable floor wax. There are a hundred brands but basically just a watery viscosity white liquid that sprays well and dries/hardens ready for 'use' within an hour. Formulated to...

And it was.... Restricted fuel supply. Once again, you guys ROCK. I think you're right. I'll look to see if there's a screen in there. I'm ashamed to admit that after all I forgot a cardinal rule to keep it simple. Occam's razor and all that. Finally deciding to rebuild the carb I...

Wow. You guys are GREAT. I posted this at the same time at two other forums and got no response at all. I don't think its icing since load does not decrease rpm/airflow. But the governor is giving it more fuel when it senses a lowering of rpm at the same throttle setting. That's why I...

My SB has a Tecumseh oh318ea 11hp motor. It runs like a champ. However. If I need to make a long pass through extra heavy snow after about a minute it starts to balk and stutter and lose power and rpm. I need to stop and let it complain for another full minute, with no load, for it to...

Of course. And thank you for the link. But I did spend some weeks searching before posting here. I included the cost of materials above to give some baseline of expectations for this project. There are half a dozen more suppliers of ladder chain i could cite in addition to sdip-si. What i...

Good evening! I'm dreaming up a shish kebab rotisserie. Like six to eight SS skewers (10 to 15usd), 120v 3rpm synchronous motor (3USD free ship from aliexpress.com), some extruded aluminum (couple of bucks from local scrap yard), chain and sprockets. That last part is the rub. I can...

Thank you very much y'all. Good thoughts here. Probably especially the perspective from firebrick43. That makes sense. I do recall that my 14.4 was probably on par cost/wise with level of models that still have the features I mention.. carbide insert chuck jaws, side handle, power to spare...

I have a few sets of my grandfathers "original" petersen vise grips. They were lacking the secondary release lever. I always figured the secondary lever was an evolutionary plus. Are they returning to the original design?

Anyone able to provide an authoritative link that well justifies raking/blowing/gathering/curbing/disposing leaves? What did the OP discover that changed his mind if he'd been mulching previously but decided it was bad for the lawn? Here's a link to Scotts lawncare...

I don't use my tools professionally, so I find myself the owner of a perfectly serviceable 14.4v milwaukee drill that is no longer cost/practical to buy batteries for. So I'm shopping for a new drill for the first time in almost 10 years. A few questions... My entry level milwaukee drill...

Can anyone provide a thread or link on this? I'd like DIY plans for a universal belt or fanny pack with 18v worth of cells. Using an integrated themistor of a value that would work with a specified 18v charger. Digikey or Mouser (etc) sourced basic output regulator switchable 12/14.4/18 My...

This guy chained in the truck bed? Your bat-$#it meth'd out nephew's offer to live rent free in the cab just to poke his head up once in a while at any sign of trouble? Or finally just take your mother's advice and marry the nice Polish republican next door That smile. How sweet. "No...

Will someone please explain in complete detail. what a pump mounted (as in the case of my SB 705) unloader valve is designed to accomplish and where it is plumbed? How does it differ, if at all, in purpose from the pressure switch unloader valve. And are they plumbed differently? Thanks.

Thanks for bringing up an interesting idea. Above from Google searches of various "........... coat-rack" like "tool themed" "shop themed" "garage themed" "automotive themed" etc. A couple of them occurred to me while searching. like an engine valve coat-rack and an intake/exhaust...
