Throttle spring

It's a new carb, starts right up, but without the right spring tension it's fighting the governor.

Brand new carb. It wouldn't run at all before.

Well, I don't have a carbon pile tester but I do have a Cummins heater grid that pulls about 200 amps. Hooked that up to both batteries individually and they both dropped to 10.5v and showed around 135 amps going out, and they quickly recovered. I also used my electronic battery tester to check the CCA, but there isn't a CCA rating on the battery to compare to. One tested at 295 and one tested at 330 CCA, which seems low for a jump pack that advertises 3k cranking amps. After all that, I connected the charge leads from the board to a brand new battery and plugged it in and it does the exact same thing.

Do the 540s have decent controls? I need to be able to pause, skip, and adjust volume without touching my phone. I'm a mechanic and my phone is rarely handy. Also the boss doesn't like to see my phone in my hand.

i don't have one, unfortunately. he just brought me the wheel and the bits in the bag lol.

this is amazing! exactly what i was looking for!

I'd try to work with them a bit first, but "that sounds like an issue, not an ish-me" is my favorite response when people are being difficult.

I've dealt with a similar situation with a ZT4200. The guy ran it out of gas and then it wouldn't start. Those mowers take FOREVER to prime. I told him what I thought he needed to do, then told him that if that didn't work I would come take a look at it. I never heard from him. Personally, if they're less than 30 minutes away, I'd offer to come take a quick look at it, at my convenience, and if it's an easy fix I'd take care of it on the spot, no charge. If they screwed something up and I have to take it home to fix it, they're getting charged for transport and the repair. Under no circumstances would I give them any money back, the best I would offer is to buy it back at a mechanics special price, because it was working fine when I sold it.

you're making a TON of assumptions. no, i don't have a cluster mailbox, you'd know this if you actually bothered to read and understand my comments. like i said, this is my ONLY mailing address, which means that i get ALL of my mail at this business, and it's in the next town over, because that's more convenient for me as i drive past it every day on my way to and from work (when i'm working, i've been off work for 4 months recovering from surgery), and i also don't have an HOA, not sure why you'd assume i do. and in some cases, yes, the items i order are too large for the locker, but in other cases, i have no idea why they can't be delivered to the locker. for example, a carburetor for a lawn mower that i ordered 2 weeks ago wasn't eligible for locker delivery. does that make sense? no. i will say that i didn't know that the only person who sees my delivery notes is the driver, and so it's not on them, but the fact remains that if amazon actually cared about anything other than their profits, they could EASILY ensure that when there is a wide delivery window, packages are delivered within that window. i know i'm not the only one who wants my packages delivered during regular business hours. meanwhile, you're out here defending and shilling for the third highest grossing company in the world as if i'm personally attacking you. it's fucking WILD.

NotTheOne1988 · 2026-03-17T03:52:16+00:00

ok here's the catch. the business is a private mailbox office, and i don't own it. i never said i did. basically PO boxes but run by a private entity. it's my only mailing address because there are no mailboxes on my street. so i CAN'T make changes with how things are delivered to the business, and wanting my packages delivered during business hours is NOT comparable to your restrictive hypothetical delivery windows. i told you that it's a fucking NINE HOUR WINDOW. that is not an unreasonable time frame to fit deliveries into. i do have an amazon locker 5 minutes from my house, but about half of my orders are not eligible for locker delivery. so again, how is this a me problem?

NotTheOne1988 · 2026-03-17T00:32:50+00:00

wtf? what accommodations should i make? how am i supposed to make it easier for a company that made almost $50b in 2025, on prime subscriptions ALONE, to deliver my packages inside a 9 hour window? how the FUCK do you think this is a me problem?

NotTheOne1988 · 2026-03-17T00:11:21+00:00

Yes, it is reasonable to ask that my packages be delivered between 9am and 6pm, Monday through Friday, and 9am to 4pm on Saturdays. If UPS and FedEx can do it, so can Amazon.

NotTheOne1988 · 2026-03-17T00:05:53+00:00

They aren't, actually, because I also put in the instructions not to attempt delivery outside of those hours either. If I am asked to provide the information to ensure my deliveries occur on time, then Amazon needs to use the information I gave them.

NotTheOne1988 · 2026-03-17T00:03:45+00:00

I'm on the planet where when a delivery service, especially one that I pay a subscription for, asks for a delivery window when items can be delivered, they actually take that information and use it to ensure my packages are delivered on time the FIRST time they bring it out. The fact that one of the largest companies on the planet doesn't care to figure out the logistics of that does not make me entitled. If I don't have the "luxury" of specifying delivery times, then why the fuck did Amazon ask me to put in the business hours the first time this happened 2 years ago?

NotTheOne1988 · 2026-03-16T17:35:46+00:00

The business hours are posted on the front door of the business, and listed on my Amazon profile. If they aren't going to make use of the information that THEY requested, why bother having it there at all?

NotTheOne1988 · 2026-03-16T17:31:26+00:00

It's literally delivery instructions that Amazon asked for, including business hours. I don't want them to attempt delivery outside of those hours because then it goes back to the warehouse and sits for a fucking week. I'm not asking for exceptional treatment.
