rdb posted:Small engine repair would be interesting. I have a Kawasaki FC420 on a walk behind I haven't figured out yet. It starts great and runs OK until it warms up, and then it starts missing and knocking. Parts are stupid expensive, so far I have removed and cleaned the carb, adjusted valves, gapped the coil, wrapped up the plug wire in heat resistant electric tape, and power washed off the cooling fins. It's a little better, but still acts up. Check/replace the ignitor. Its the thing that is connected to the coil before the kill switch. Part number should be 21119-2101. Theyre like $15 on ebay. e: you can find the manual for it here http://www.mymowerparts.com/pdf/Kawasaki-Service-and-Repair-Manuals/ Between my stuff and customers stuff I could almost support a small engine repair thread but I didnt think that many people here would be interested since the alternative insanity thread doesnt get much action. shy boy from chess club fucked around with this message at 13:58 on Sep 2, 2015 |

Get the hotel room to myself tonight tho so I should be able to catch some Z's. You should get some earbuds and play music if you are sleeping near a snorer. The buds block out most of the sound.

So I finally got new tires for the 30k 97 Ram today. General Grabber AT2s because they have sweet looking treads and outlined white letters and were cheap as hell. I have a tire rack outlet near me so I order them this morning, blast over and pick them up and blast over to the place to get them put on. Im waiting all afternoon and Im stoked to get it back and wash the truck with my crispy new tires when I get home. I go to pick it up and pull up to see that they put the loving blackwalls on the outside. loving goddamn turd huffers, I told them I wanted the white letters on the outside. Now I have to go back tomorrow and get them swapped and waste more of my time. This is the same place that left half the bolts loose on my Subarus suspension when I got new bushings put in the trailing arms. So loving mad.

IOwnCalculus posted:Homeowner chat: how much does it typically cost to do a preventative termite treatment / is it worthwhile? We've never done one (bought about 8 years ago) and have been a lot of the little bastards in the area recently. We got the house inspected and while they didn't find any indication that they've actually infested our house, they quoted us $600-$800 depending on the treatment we go with. Reasonable or assrape? Thats about what I paid for the initial treatment of my house in Florida from Terminex, then another $100-ish a year to keep it up.

IOwnCalculus posted:Tempting thought, but the ground here is rock loving hard so that's a hell of a lot of labor. Did you have to drill any concrete / what did you patch it up with after drilling if you did? Terminix did this when they did my house for the first time. They had some kind of pressure washer type wand that injected it into the, well, sand cause Florida and they drilled into my concrete porch and steps and sealed it up with something so you couldn't even tell where they drilled. It was kinda worth the initial price just for that stuff. After that they just kinda sprayed around the foundation every year without the drilling part.

The NAPA that I go to is like that. Its hard to find parts for the ancient stuff I work on and they are usually able to find the part or something from another car that will fit. The 56 IH for example has a thermostat from a Honda in it and an exhaust donut from something that they matched up for me.

I got lucky with my Rocco. It was previously owned by two engineers that fixed any little problem it had including fresh motor mounts and shift linkage right before I bought it. He even got a real leather shift boot to replace the lovely pleather one that comes stock.

NitroSpazzz posted:I bought a Husqvarna this spring, it's been great. Runs great, starts right up and mows grass. Lawnmower man chiming in here to agree with this. I just got one two years ago for work and its an insanely great mower. It has a Honda engine but they make a great engine, starts on one pull every time and uses just a tiny amount of gas compared to my old briggs powered mower.

I never use sta-bil or drain the tanks/carbs over the winter and never have carb or fuel system problems. I probably use my mowers a lot more than most of you guys though so theyre constantly getting fresh gas all summer.

It's only got 50 hours on it since last year. Nice, I think that one has the deck that doesnt re-cut the clippings from the left blade. I got to try one out a couple years ago and I could cut so drat fast with it and still have it look good. It had the new hyperdrive too which was amazing. It took 35 minutes off a 4 hour lawn that I do. It was also 37hp, so badass.

My little brother is a nuke on the Eisenhower and they just replaced the reactors and had to take it out for a test ride. They were doing hard turns at 34 knots to make sure the hull where they had to cut the holes was sound. I had no idea a ship that big could go that fast, goddamn.
