    OEM Briggs $60 replacement the carb same as $15 ebay/amazon?

    I bought an Amazon carb because mine had obviously sat with water in the bowl (snowblower), the ports were corroded and plugged. It was easier and faster to buy a $15 carb than hope I could rebuild mine. If it was just a rebuild, I would have tried new parts...but a basket case with...

    Transferring spring water uphill

    Sounds like a bad pump motor...should start no issue off a breaker. We ran ours from a generator...even our GWTP well pumps are on nothing but level sensors and relays for the most part. Can you turn the pump/motor shaft, make sure it's not binding? Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

    Transferring spring water uphill

    No pressure switch is required with a submersible, you probably want a float so it doesn't run dry though? Is it a three or four wire pump? 220vac? For the record, we direct wired submersible well pumps for well developing, no switch at all. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

    Bilco door refinishing

    Go to a paint store and look at a two-part epoxy paint...Muralo, Rustoleum, Sherwin Williams, and others make it. It's durable, wears well...we sprayed a lot of it at the sandblasting place I worked at one point in my life. I sprayed a lot of natural gas transmission line and wellheads with...

    OEM Briggs $60 replacement the carb same as $15 ebay/amazon?

    I ordered one for a B&S, cheapest one I could find on Amazon; and it worked fine. Just got to make sure the numbers match... Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

    Suggestion on small oxyacetylene torch set up.

    I have a torch setup, but I need to replace it (Marquet). I checked with a torch outfitter and they recommended a Harris that was about $275. I'm a hobbyist, so I don't need a high end set... I own my tanks, so that's not a big deal. I think tanks rentals are around $15/tank/year, so not...

    30" Tool Box Drawer Liners

    Pet-resistant window screen...it's thin, lays flat, protects the drawer bottom, and doesn't absorb moisture. I used it in a metal cabinet to line the shelves, works great. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

    Is there such thing as too much light..

    I have two separate light circuits, one is for wandering around, the second is for detailed work when you want more light. I'm about to redo my basement lighting as my fluorescent are going bad, I will probably do the same since I do more detailed work in there... I hate working in poorly lit...

    Propane Generators?

    Make sure those big Onans aren't 3 phase...we owned one and it was 3 phase and was not convertible to single phase. Running them isn't a problem, just need a regulator on the propane source...we test ran ours off a 20# cylinder. Keep in mind that either propane or natural gas should have oil...

    Chain Saw Recommendation

    I run Oregon and Silver Streak bars on my MS391...Oregon seems on par with Stihl. I bought a smaller cheaper saw for limbing...found a guy selling refurbished Homelite for less than I could buy a bar and chain for the Stihl. I've had it six years now, the only thing I've done to it (Homelite)...

    Mobile hydraulic cart for cleaning hydraulic fluid on construction/ag equipment

    I've been into submicron filtration for almost 20 years, and even the major oil analyzers tell you that you cannot filter out the additive packages. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

    Rusty nails and screws

    I gave a lot of that kind of stuff away...the Amish still use older tapered screws and square nails around here...I hate just scrapping anything. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk
