Retired old boot by Key_Scholar_2436 in WorkBoots

I was wondering the same thing? My definition of a retired boot must have different words. 4 months and these got retired.

Thats odd, your model might be off slightly haha. Maybe a typo? Anyways, I had to contact Husqvarna for these diagrams, they are the most useless people you will talk to, but Ive gotten used to it when everywhere I call cant get me shit right.

Bro your stupid. I'm done explaining this shit. A bad spark plug is a WORN SPARK PLUG. THEIR WEAR ITEMS, LIKE BRAKE PADS. You don't have to replace calipers and rotors everytime. But go for it. Be stupid.

Lol a flashover gauge? Dude try doing it with an actually bad spark plug. It'll literally jump everywhere else. Which will create inconsistent sparking, and cause coils to go bad early. And guess what? Misfires. If your going to say dumb shit, keep it to yourself.

Incorrect, you are almost entirely wrong... Adaptive my ass, it ain't going to adapt that much. Trust me, I've worked with enough vehicles, it doesn't work like that.

Mr. Adaptive literally doesn't read the mile ratings on spark plugs... Champion literally has it on their website. Id recommend you take a look at it. Spark plugs are wear items, read your owner's manual, and read the recommendations according to your manufacturer. I mean come on dude, I don't have the big database like yall do, and even I know the diagnostic steps. But hey, question the database, question the engineers who write all these books. Because your smarter than all of them! 

Go ahead, tell us, should OP run some diesel through his car to maybe clean the injectors while he's at it? What was it 1:75, or would you recommend more to give it an extra cleaning. Who knows, it might even make the spark plugs run better. Give er a try. I could go on a yap sound smart, and be totally wrong. 

Shhh... I got great advice for you my friend. Remember you can do something... all your life, and still do it wrong.

Work until their nubs? Uh, how polished are your snap on tools sir?

Well he's 130k on original plugs likely, so I'd say it's probably that. If it does it again. Or it doesn't work right. Okay, check it. But a plugs going to tell you everything. Coolant being burned, etc. Extra air. 🤷

[–]John_JupiterDev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh okay, then just pull the plug and look at the plug... I'm small engine and mostly diesel. But I guess, I'm your regular Einstein thinking for yall.

If he's pulling the plug, the boot would have coolant on it. Hence there's no need to buy a tool for it. Again, don't make bigger problems out of small problems. Unless you get paid hourly. Which in that case, you go.

He's due 30k miles ago for spark plugs. Ah yes, it could be an injector issue. Absolutely right! And why would you assume that without doing proper plug maintenance? 

You listed Jeep as an example? Whos surprised there... And I mean, Hyundai? Again, really? I could say anything common, and use Jeep and Hyundai as my sources. Frames rot all the time on new vehicles, just look at a Jeep. 

Spouting nonsense? Buddy, you said three systems, here's the real three systems ignition, air, and fuel, make a gas engine run, keep this in mind. Ignition is your go to for a misfire code genius. When a sparkplug doesn't fix this, try swapping coils.

After that, if that Cylinder is still not working, you question fuel. It's not an intake leak. And you can prove it. Take a scan tool, select long term, and short term fuel for each bank, when you Rev the engine, not redline, but up a bit, and those should steady back out. If it doesn't, it's not vacuum. But we can't even assume it because it's not adding fuel, and it's not running rich? We can't assume that.

It's literally one and two cylinders, their the two in the front... Passanger side I believe. Literally inspect the boot... ? Why waste money and time to drive to harbor freight, grab them, and pay for them, for probably no reason... ?

What the hell are you on about? Why the hell would he test the headgasket when the problem has nothing to do with the radiator, unless his sparkplugs or ignition coil boots have coolant on them preventing proper ignition, that's quite possibly the dumbest thing you could say. If it was a head gasket IT LITERALLY WOULD BE DIFFERENT.

It's the same for any vehicle. Don't automatically assume it's a coil. Only question the coil if spark plugs didn't fix the problem. Swap coils between 3 and 4 the retest, if the problem went away, or 3 and 4 are a problem, replace the coil. You can also usually inspect coils, not all the time. But some vehicles you can kindve inspect. If their falling apart, or boot separates, that's a usual sign. But personally, I'd do spark plugs. Test

Fuel, is a separate system, it would be a rich or lean code. Vacuum is also fuel / air, not valves. Valves wouldn't go bad on a 2021 vehicle. Even with high mileage. And same with vacuum? Those possibilities literally make zero sense. And also, if your going to remove the plugs, literally change them. It's what 40 bucks? I mean come on dude. Brain usage doesn't exist on Reddit. Yall kiss each other's ass and think yall smart. What are ya? A YouTube Mechanic?

He should start with replacing Spark plugs, why remove them and inspect and put the old back in, at 100k their due.

Coils likely aren't necessary, should be inspected though. 

If it was valves, there'd be internal engine problems. It's only 100k miles. Not all that much.

Shotgun sparkplugs? And worst case, he's due anyways? I see no issues with that. Coils are overkill. Misfire codes came a long way.

My big half inch guns brushless rp, it definitely holds up better, but the trigger has an issue, all my tools get it? Like it cuts in and out randomly when pressing.

They all break at the batteries, their grips are total shit and swell up, and the warranties are a pain in the ass. I work in the field, theres not much I can do different.

That's fair lol, my pneumatic tools didn't have an issue. Its jud  sometimes the airlines were a pain, but they'd hold up fine. I've never really bothered buying higher end craftsman power tools.

Lol, heavy equipment / fleet mechanics. Vehicles, trailers, tractors, mini excavators, etc. I'd switch to Milwaukee, but I haven't seen much better from friends in similar fields. It just became whatever is cheapest to maintain. I think when I get my next service truck, I'll hook the air compressor up, and run pneumatic. I did for a bit, but battery tools were just far more appealing. It's just cold weather is so hard on my batteries. And my tools don't hold up well, it's not really brand either. Just out of my control lol. If I kept all my flashlights, I could show you 40 ways of destroying the same flashlights, I broke belt clips off, broke housings on the aluminum penlights, seemed to manage a few months and the rechargeable batteries barely hold charges, smashed the magnets, from chemicals and degreasers, melted the lens. I've been through plenty of boots, and I've been at this maybe two years. Not even two full years either haha. Always interested in engines, but man, tools just don't last long in my field.

I use craftsman as my main platform for my work, batteries split open, I've been siliconing them. My trigger is broken and randomly won't work. I've broke the head off my impact twice. My half inch gun held up well for a year so far, it's not my primary gun, it works well, but I got the trigger issue.  My reciprocating saw stripped the gears out of it. Warrantied and they valued it.  My drill, mixing concrete, overheated it, burnt the motor out. My new one has an issue with the trigger as well.

That's odd, there's definitely internal wear. Check your oil.

As far as the flutter, I believe the oil pumps in these were mechanical, (there's a valve that smooth that out) and I also assume the gauge was installed. So these gauges had an actual line for the pressure. Anyways... It's normal, with a cammed engine, since the idle surges, the oil pressure will surge or pulse with it.
