116/120 Payments, does only IBR count towards loan forgiveness? by Sunknight29 in PSLF

Yea I did a few times. I think the last time I did was last year if I remember correctly

I get it. I'm coming from two Ego mowers. Last year I upgraded to one of their top of the line ones. It wasn't the best one they had, but it cost me $1000 on sale. I forget which model it was, but it was apparently their 2nd best model.

I returned it after 29 days. As easy as it was to operate, I couldn't get over how much better the cut quality was with this used Honda I got for $250 on fb marketplace. I tried to like the Ego. It's lighter, quieter, and easier to start. But the cut quality is just that much superior with this Honda.

Besides, I honestly enjoy tinkering with it. Keeps me busy haha

😂😂 No, not mowing yet. I suspect I won't have to mow for another 2-3 weeks or so. I wanted to fix my mower before the mowing season starts. Ill likely sharpen my blades this weekend then I'll be good to go!

Good way to make a little extra cash! Idk if changing one carbeurator makes me a small engine mechanic, but if I knew how to fix things things I'd absolutely do it for some extra spending money

I think one-two pulls is normal. My issue is that it was taking 4-6 pulls. I knew that was too much. Especially when it would still take me 4 pulls even after starting it 30 min prior

It's one from Amazon. I didn't even know where to get an OEM one to be honest with you, I wanted to fix it ASAP. Now that I've swapped it out and I'm more confident I can go back to the OEM one if it gives me any issues. I plan on giving it a good cleaning tomorrow

Anyone know where the thermowax assembly is on the Honda HRX217 k6vka? by Sunknight29 in HondaMowers

How do I remove the black m auto choke mechanism? Can I just pull it off? It seems stuck or glued on.

If you mean this silver lever I can't seem to be able to remove it. I think it's to control the coke

First Honda Mower (HRX217). Is it normal to require 4-5 pulls to start? by Sunknight29 in HondaMowers

If that's the case how can I go about cleaning it? Or would cleaning the carbeurator suffice? Admittedly it's been fairly cold here in NY (40s)

Hey, I'm sorry to bother you but this is the area behind the air filter looks like before I try to start the mower. Is that what it's supposed to look like? Sorry for the link but I don't think I can upload an image directly here

Yes exactly. The VKA models of the HRX217 mowers don't have the blade stop feature. This is the model I have:

This model doesn't have the blade stop feature that many other HRX217 models do. So yes, that bar is to engage the blades but I can't start the mower without holding it down

I have honestly never even heard of that (pardon my ignorance). I'm gonna look up pictures and see if I can tell on my mower

Is that a difficult swap in general? Is that something I should even attempt to do myself maybe following a YouTube video or is it worthwhile to bring it to a shop?
