It's a single stage - look at the head - the intake is on one side, and the discharge exits on the opposite side and goes right into the tank. Notice that there are no intercooler piping loops on the far side of the pump. So being a QR-series pump, it's a 2-series model pump which is single...

Buy a black plastic battery box (as used on many trailer tongues for the emergency braking application battery), and some longer pieces of 6-gauge wire and make a remote battery box for your unit so you have ready access to the battery without having to take anything apart. Google "Group U1...

If you like it, you had better go out and buy another one as Honda has exited the walk-behind mower business and won't be selling them any longer in North America (in Europe, yes . . . go figure).

You make good points, but have you ever used the type of splitter being discussed here for a long time? You have to lift the rounds up somehow to get them onto the splitter and hold them there. and then the pieces fall to the ground, resulting in more bending over to pick them up. That...

Just because you can, doesn't mean that you should - Compare the time it takes to go from zero to 120psi, to the time that it takes to go from 120 to 150psi. There is a very good reason why two-stage pumps were invented.

Oh snap, yes, completely forgot to mention that one! I made my own anti-freeze delivery system which consists of a female hose coupling, a 90 degree 1/2" NPT elbow, connected to a piece of rubber tubing with a funnel going into it. I screw this into the pump water inlet, and use old car...

You may want to lower the turnoff pressure down to 120-130psi - the pump will be much happier. I would only go to 150psi using a two-stage pump.

With any of these small consumer-grade units, the most important things are to 1) keep the proper engine oil in it and full, and 2) don't run it for very long on standby (not spraying) - shut it off if you aren't going to be spraying for 30 seconds or more. The engines always outlast the...

Quote snipped: Is it safe for me to drill/ tap with the correct "npt" sizing or could I compromise the integrity of the casting? Sure - you could try to do it in place but then have to deal with the chips. A bit more work, but I would remove that casting and go for it. Personally, I would...

+1 on the above, buy a new bottle jack, and check fluid level on it as sometimes their new stuff doesn't come with enough oil inside of it.

I think the 'V' stands for value. It was a reduced-cost (reed-valve head, less cooling fins on the cylinder, etc.) design. I bought one of these a few years ago that was Speedaire (Grainger house brand) and listed that way - it would have sold for more if it was listed as a Champion IMO . . .

I am in the same camp with regards to the crazy prices being asked for these vises. Sure they are good but I'm still rocking my 30-year-old Costco Larin (Lorin or WTH brand it was called) vise and haven't broken it yet. It cost me $73 IIRC.

And not only do you need a tip in order to build pressure, you need the correct-sized one. The big box home centers typically sell only one size. Consult a tip chart sizing table such as the one below in order to determine the correct orifice size for your pressure washer - too small and you...

A defective or missing check valve will also cause this behavior as the pressure rises. So check (erg) that as well!

They actually make can-opener type package openers (like ZipIt) that I have seen advertised on late-night TV: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001QXOMWC/?tag=atomicindus08-20

Do you have any friends or other connections through auto enthusiast forums that may travel to your local junkyards that you can task with looking for a door for you while they are out there? With a case of beer and a pizza in it for them? Just exploring all the options here . . .

Wrong - it is very relevant. When you pull a vacuum at the ****** on the bleeder screw, it will pull air in around the threads and you will see these air bubbles in your stream of fluid coming out. It will trick you into thinking that there is still air in the system and you will waste a lot...

Like others have said, I would just shop Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist, OfferUp, NextDoor, and whatever other social media for-sale sites to find another used trimmer, either to use or for parts. I recently snagged a straight-shaft Echo trimmer for $40 (which I just converted to a blade with...

+1 on the generic version of Super Clean - I buy it at Walmart as well. I agree that Kroil is best - I ordered a case full of various products from them almost 30 years ago. But you pretty much have to purchase it online, and it is crazy expensive. I'm down to my last of it, and just...

So here is something to consider: applying pressure at the master cylinder is superior to using vacuum at the bleeder screws. Why? Because when the bleeder screw is open, it is NOT an air-tight connection to the rest of the system, and you will pull air in around the bleeder screw threads...
