    Well made a observation today that pissed me off. There are a lot of new speed limit signs on 28, the part between Gap Store and Fontana (also known as Hellbender) is now 30mph. And the area between Fontana and 143 is 40 mph. And they have them posted heavy every couple of miles and on both sides of the road. emoji35.pngemoji34.pngemoji35.pngemoji36.pngemoji35.png

    Someone had a good lawyer.

    Going through the same thing now...I have a 46" Husqvarna that shut down while mowing, thought it was out of gas so added fuel and would not start. Checked everything and was getting gas and spark. Brother new a guy so he came over and said it had been running on one cylinder and the other went out and the mower has no compression. Asked my brother if i wanted him to take it to scrap. Don't know if it is worth putting a new motor in or rebuilding?

    I had that happen once. Pulled off the valve covers and the rocker slipped off. Popped it back on and  it's been good to go for the last 3 years.

  3. What did they say was wrong with it? Can't just leave us hanging...

    Most common scam/screw over  I've seen is telling people it's not worth fixing when it has a slightly sheared flywheel key. Although then it has spark but runs like shit if at all and tears your arm off when trying to start it. $0.65 fix. Happens when you it a rock or root with the blade.

     

    How much you want for the old one? I need a beater mower. Detty or someone could bring it to a friends wedding that happens this weekend.

  4. Right front blinkers don't blink. Right Rear blinker works fast like when you have a bulb out. Blinker relay replaced but they still don't blink. Bulbs are good. There's no + voltage to either of the front right bulbs. Replaced the relay because when I took it out and put it back in then the stupid left front was doing the same thing as the right. Took it out and tapped it then it started working again on the left side.

     

    What else is there to check on the front blinkers of these things. 

    Gen light comes on and off also. When gen light on, I tested the charging system and it was providing 13.5v to the battery like normal I think. Is the regulator built into the alternator on these? It's a straight six.

    Sometimes I like to imagine how the world would look if people only posted true stuff on the internet.

    lol. No one gossips or replies to facts, ultimate thread killer. Interesting question though. Prolly less riots caused by ignorants.

  6. Business card will work to gap the coil when you put it back together. Let the magnetism hold the card in place and tighten. Check the wires from the coil. Check the on/off switch areas. A lot of times a kill wire goes to a insulated metal tab near the throttle/carb area, even if you can't throttle it up and down because it's not designed that way, that metal tab that the wire is connected to should not touch any other metal unless you put it in the off position. Trace the wires from the coil. It's grounded out(kills the coil power) somewhere.

    There ain't no damn paper clip! 

    I'd send the pic of the screen buuuuutttttt...

     

  8. Check craigslist. A lot of the old school compressors you can still get parts for cheap and are easy to fix. But no one does.

     

    That Pawn shop on Cherry sometimes has some. Morris loan. And/or the workingmans store. 

  9. Woke up, coffee, sat down, turned on the tv news Face the Nation. Trumps doing an impression of Hillary, then video clip of Hillary, hilarious. Then immediately saddened and angered by Kasich spewing half truths and red herrings.

    Held the relief valve down by hand and it still stalls. Capacitor shows no sign of bulging. Thinking maybe check valve....or maybe new compressor.

    No bulge necessary to be bad. Jakes got access to a capacitor checker.
