    Nitrous on a leafblower

    You have to add fuel too, otherwise all it is doing is making it go lean. Nitrous is an oxidizer. When you add more oxygen you also have to add more fuel or it just leans it out (wich is a bad bad thing). When you install a dry kit to a fuel injected car. You add only nitrous and the...

    Snap On tool box refinish

    I just noticed the second picture looks like the paint is terrible. I assure you it is not. I spent a ton of time block sanding. It must be the glare from fingerprints and such.

    Snap On tool box refinish

    Thanks for the info on paint codes that I found on other's posts. The box had been repainted in the past in black. Looked bad! (wish I would have taken a picture) First I removed the aluminum strips and bumpers, all of the drawers and slides. I then spent days sanding. I chose to weld the...

    anyone's mohawk 2 post doing this?

    One of the local shop owners has a mohawk that uses strictly hydraulics. No eqaulizer chain or cables. He claims that about every fifth time he lifts his arms they get off just a little so he raises it all the way to the top unloaded and lets the valve bypass for a few seconds. This eqaulizes...

    Toilet repair?

    I my toilet this peice is cylinder shaped and the plastic float is built in. On mine you just pull up on the top of the entire assembly and it extends one click at a time which in turn raises the level of the float. I don't know if mine is like yours or not, but it sounds similar.
