    Spark plug hex sizes: common applications?

    Small engines such as B&S and Kohler OHV, and some chain saws and trimmers use 5/8". Others can be 3/4 or 13/16. I'd say get various sizes of sockets and you'll be covered.

    John Deere LX 178 Kawasaki FD440v motor

    Could be several things such as the fuel tank outlet or fuel filter clogged, or a weak fuel pump. Unhook the line from the carb and crank engine to verify fuel flow. There still might be dirt in the carb. I highly recommend using a ultrasonic cleaner for carburetors.

    I bought a 3/8 flex head a month ago and have been using it at work (I'm a lawn and garden equipment mechanic) and I really like using that ratchet. Yesterday I bought another one to use at home. Used a 20% off coupon for both purchases :rocker:

I'm using a Eastwood Hotcoat gun and have been happy with it, but would like to upgrade to something better with adjustable...
