    Velux skylight?

    We have 6 powered vents and 3 fixed lights, very happy. Installed in '98. One instance of operator malfunction, replaced with no grief and no cost except labor. I would recommend the powered vent over manual. You'll find reasons to have it open. Although cranking is easy and fast, pushing a...

    Honda Harmony II HRZ216

    I don't know where you can get a carb, but you may be able to fix your carb. I have found that fuel deposits on honda machines cause all kinds of problems. Carefully disassemble the carb and remove the jets if possible. Use a magnifying glass and examine the inside of the jets and passages for...

    What do you use to clean your box?

    Hi from stltikn in the gold country

    Thanks V8 Garage! We had a lot of fun restoring the machines. The machine work 90 years ago was outstanding, casting work is a lot better later on. Have a great day!
