Ok, I think I can chase thread and cut oversize fitting from bronze on lathe. What I dont know for sure (never worked on pressure pumps) if any thing else is missing that should be behind this fitting? Here is where the fitting installed. This is the pump ...

The pump has thread damaged on hi pressure side. Any options to repair these before purchasing a new pump?

YES! Changed spark plug and it's running! Thank you. This never crossed my mind.

I have this power washer with no history. So far: 1. New carburetor 2. Pump removed, 3. Strong spark. (Oil pressure cutoff switch appears to be working because there is sparks.) 4. good compression. Did try to start with both chocks open and with front closed and second open. Just with little...

> Hard to tell how steep it is. Its is 5 steps, about 6" tall. Yes. Taking up old walk way and pouring new is a big deal... I guess finishing with flag stone or similar will have the same problem as adding 1.5" of cement on top of old walk way?

Here you are, I attempted these repairs 5-6 years ago. Was waiting to see if soil under continue to move or not. Appears to be more less stable. So it is time now to do right. Still I expect movement any way (north Texas clay). Need to control thickness of the last step where it is connected to...

Hi, I need some recommendations. The front yard concrete walkway in shape of long shallow steps (exposed aggregate) cracked and twisted after constriction and stable now for a few years. I'm considering to do some repairs. 1. On these steps that are cracked/twisted place about 1.5" thick layer...

yes, but an opportunity to learn and

Looks like this part is OK. I connected 110v to the board. Clean 5v from the L7805CV. The diag LED flashing ones indicating missing safety sensors. So need to figure out how to bypass this condition. ( dont even know to which terminal these sensors should be connected to. so more googling and...

Thank You! I'll check and report back.

I'll check with Chamberlain next year :). The owner has two identical garage openers. And swapped board between two. So the problem followed the board. Attempts were made to reprogram too. Thanks for the video. Yes checked solder joins, dont see problems but plan to re-flow them anyway....I was...

Well some one asked me to look in to this board. All works but remote, I suspect a defective component, most likely a cap. Bad part I don't have a liftmaster garage opener to power on the board. And need schematics to connect power, etc. Unfortunately google did not help or I missed it. Any...

Thank you! I plan to purchase insulation at Home D. with free rental. Looks like it is Attic Cat and has wall insulation mode. What density I should choose for my application? And the tip about netting greatly appreciated. https://ww2.owenscorning.com/procat/docs/10021342ProCatManual.pdf

Hi, here is my situation. I want to add some blow in insulation to my attic. and while in process, insulate space above garage. Currently it is storage space in attic. I lifted couple of plywood sheets to open access and considering to sneak in blowing hose and gradually remove it in attempt to...

Hi, I wanted to learn TIG for long time and have some $ to spend on this hobby now. I did not expect much problems in finding Argon but after reading posts here looks like some home work required. With that I need some help from local members (my zip is 75075) to point me to good supplier of...
