I do the same as Sherk and earlybirds. I sharpen the curved side of a 6” putty knife and it goes through foam easily with little mess. It works well because unlike a knife, its thickness is uniform throughout, so it doesn’t bind up.

Yes, that’s correct.

I agree. And remember, as voltage output from the generator drops, the current draw will naturally rise to compensate. As various others have said, you really should buy or borrow a digital multimeter with an amp clamp. Otherwise, we’re all just speculating.

Electronics can certainly be affected by dirty power, whether it's coming from the utility, a generator or another power source. There are different types of power problems, but the most common I've seen in my line of work, where I'm dealing with 3-phase generators, is frequency fluctuations due...

Really nice job on those doors! Congratulations on a job well done. Helder

Nice job! I need to do the same thing at my parents' house.

Rebuilt an EX500 carb yesterday. Hopefully building some shelving in the garage today. Helder

Welcome! Brasil is a beautiful place. My wife was born in SP and moved to Floripa as a kid. Post more pictures when you can! Helder

I had the same issue with my Campbell-Hausfeld pressure washer with a Briggs engine. It only ran correctly when I tilted the pressure washer back on its wheels while in use. That was about 5-6 years ago. Just a month ago, I finally pulled the carb off and cleaned it and the tank out thoroughly...

So after about 18 hours of soaking in Evapo-Rust, things are looking much better. The file/rasp is coming out best, but unfortunately my 23" long Snap-On breaker bar's swivel head won't budge. Does anyone think a Snap-On guy will warranty it? Or send it direct to Snappy? The sockets and...

I've got some tools that need de-rusting, so I picked up some Evapo-Rust from Harbor Freight. What you see there is a Snap On breaker bar with a Craftsman socket and short extension. They unfortunately were in my trunk after spilling some battery acid in there. I feel really bad about that...

You're doing a really nice job on this restoration! I love the way the handles look. Helder

@ Bogey won Check out this link here. It's a link to Eaton's line of pushbuttons. Almost anything you can imagine. These are used by machine builders and go into all types of products. Typical hole sizes are 22mm and 30.5mm. Page 94 has a nice one in 22mm...

Stared at the mess in my garage. I did go through every item and call out what needs to happen to each item (organize, hang, dispose, sell, etc...). I'll have to start a thread about my single car garage and how I have WAY too many things for such a small space. Helder
