thanks y'all. I returned it.

Thanks. I didn't think it was the right tool for my needs.

Let me start by saying I don't know anything about pressure washers. Does anyone know anything about the Deko PW200 electric power washer? I got one for Christmas as a surprise, but before I open the box I'm trying to determine if it's any good. I'm looking for something to do sidewalks, a...

Thanks for the tip on the Hopkin's Oil Change system. I would also mention their craftsman tools are on sale. Picked up a couple of the 121 gunmetal sets last night reg $179 now $99...

How does this work on eBay? Just put the items in your cart?

Thanks guys. I appreciate all the advice. I agree that there is a time for crimping and a time for soldering, IMO. Looks like I need to up my budget a little... I'd rather get something good. I bought a $5 from HF the other day and it wouldn't even heat up a small wire. I couldn't even tin...

Hey y'all. I'm just getting into some electrical work such as adding extra lights and additional 12v sockets into my truck. I occasionally need to repair a cut cord on something. It's time for me to learn to solder. Question is what kit would you recommend for under $20? I see some on...

I know it's cheap, but this is the second time in my life I've needed a compression test.

I couldn't sleep so I went out to the shop. I cleaned the frame underneath the motor and tank and down the exhaust side of the motor. What a mess. I checked the diaphragm again. That little disc is metal so it should be rigid, however it all is and shouldn't be. All the black rubber...

Thanks to everyone who has chimed in with friendly advice. Great group.

Thanks for the tip. I'll give it a try Friday. You kid, but I honestly find fiddling with things on the work bench very relaxing. It's a hullava lot more fun that doing the yard work. :lol I'm leaning in that direction...

Thanks.

I'm not sure if the carb is adjusted to the initial factory settings or not. I bought it used about 10 years ago and it's been to a mechanic a couple of times over the years. The plug was a little wet when I first pulled it. I've been reading that this model shouldn't really be choked at all...

I'm thinking the liquid was fuel. Is it possible I flooded it so bad that stuff went through the cylinder into the muffler and even out around and such. It doesn't look like it's straight out of the tank, it looks like it's been through something. No rain.

So, I disassembled the blower again. I found little puddles of liquid around on top of the gas tank and cover. This is a little disturbing for me These muffler bolts were ridiculously tight... way beyond what seems appropriate to me. It was very odd. The muffler had some liquid in it...

I can do that. As long as I'm not taking out all the jets and such I should be okay.

It's a Stihl BR420 Magnum. I think it was a pretty good one originally.

Where exactly is this screen?!?!?!?

Thanks for the reply guys, I appreciate everyone's replies and education. I plan to fish the filter out of the tank today and clean the muffler screen. I don't have a filter, but I could go with out a filter for testing couldn't it? It's been sitting for a 3-4 years - with an empty tank. I...
