I checked the fuel line for obstruction and cracks, but did not replace it as it was replaced under a year ago. When I took the carb apart everything looked very clean and the diaphragm and gasket seemed pliable. I will try a new fuel line. Do I have to go with a Stihl line? Is there any reason...

I have a Stihl BR380 that has started cutting out like it is starved for fuel. I have pulled and drained the tank, replaced the fuel pickup (filter). I pulled the carburetor, removed the bowl and cleaned the whole thing. I have cleaned the Fuel Tank Vent as much as possible. (this is where I...

I had read somewhere else about using a rolling pin. I'm not a little guy, maybe I'll look in to a laminate roller and give it a shot.

This is going to be my first time laying rolled linoleum. Is there a viable option aside from using a floor roller to smooth out linoleum? Some kind of diy trick or shortshort cut that would work on a 15'x10' space? Sliding a rubbermaid filled with water along the floor crossed my mind, but that...

Worsedog, those are things that I say all the time. I couldn't agree with you more.

Kiln is gas. No ac and a wood stove for heat. And the thirty amps the 10/3 will carry is plenty for three florescent lights.

It was the 4 conductors (3 plus ground) that I wasent familier with. I picked up a roll of 14/3 and am good to go. Thanks again.

I found diagrams and got it all sorted. I am placing a sub panel in a workshop and have never delt with the two legs of 220 before. But once I found a wiring diagram it all instantly made sense. Thanks.

220 is coming into the fuse box, I would like to run 110 circuits (3 separate fuses) out of it.

Hey y'all I'm diving in with my first post... and yes I know search is a powerful tool...(I belong to a some gun forums and those boys can be harsh, but I figure forums are for talking not searching) I've done lots of 110/120 wiring but I am dealing with my first time running220/240 into a fuse...

Hello all, I have always been a do it yourself kinda of person, never meet anything I didnt figure I could fix. Looking forward to sharing tips and ideas with you, and learning a whole lot more from all of you. Geoff
