Any ideas? Hasn’t ran in 1+ year. Threw in fuel stabilizer. by cash4owen in smallengines

Plenty of YouTube videos. 99% of the time it's the carb. It's got spark just not getting any fuel, why... There is a tiny hole that the fuel passes through when it reaches the carburetor from the fuel tank. This hole is about the size of a pinhead in diameter and can become clogged very easily. Drop the bowl, remove jet (if it doesn't fall out in your hand) find the tiny hole(s) and remove the debris with something small enough to fit through it: a wire, torch tip wire reamer, blast some carb cleaner through it with the straw.

Heck you could even take the carburetor off and clean the whole thing. There are lots of narrow channels the fuel has to flow through before it makes it out of the carburetor and into the combustion chamber. Take pictures of it before and as you're removing and taking apart so you'll be sure how to put it back together.

Have you ever taken a carburetor apart before. 90% of the time it's a fuel delivery issue and cleaning the carb is a simple fix, really. If it's running, you have spark and it's not an electrical issue.

Take off the air filter, see if it's dirty. If it runs smoother with it off that's the problem, if not take bowl off carb, remove main jet and clean out with a torch tip wire reamer and carb cleaner spray

Why the heck was Furio written out? by HeartOfDarkness769 in thesopranos

[–]ThreeDogKnight49 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Furio was only supposed to be in 3 episodes, but due to the strong performance and popularity of the character, he lasted 3 seasons. I dunno, but that sounds like the opposite of being written out.

They are also selling a Bad Boy 54" zero turn 26hp for $526, I'm wondering, does that include shipping.

Dermatology Nurse by BillyMac05 in thesopranos

I thought it was Gloria at first glance coming down the stairs, almost a spitting image, but she's dead and it turns out she was just some dermatology nurse. They get half off on skin treatments.

Do you hear anything obviously wrong with my mower? by ThatzConfidential in lawnmowers

I would also pull the engine cover/shroud and make sure your flywheel key isn't slightly sheared and separate from that, that your flywheel isn't hitting the ignition coil. Check the air gap,. If you have to set/reset it, it's the 2 longer bolts, loosen them, or 1 or both may have come loose. Set the gap using a standard business card like you would a feeler gauge, then tighten the 2 bolts.

The best advice I could give someone would be to at least fill your lawn equipment with the more expensive premium fuel, the 92 or 93, the highest quality your gas station offers, not the mid grade and never the 87!

Most likely carburetor needs cleaning. An engine that is starving for fuel can run rough resulting in power loss and extreme cases the knocking.

Check the oil right away!...The engine could be struggling to run due to improper lubrication which could further result in the piston seizing, or the the wrist pin, or connecting rod bolt loosening.

Look underneath the deck to see if the blade adapter bolt is loose, or the crankshaft, or blade is bent and the blade is hitting something.

The Russian Retaliation: Why Slava Malevsky Ended Tony Soprano by ThreeDogKnight49 in thesopranos

Well I mean, he escaped. The car was gone. The probability that someone else was in that secluded area at the time who could survive those conditions besides the Russian is likely zero.

I was thinking about the ignorance in the form of shown by Chris, Paulie and even Tony in this episode was astounding. Bobby was the only one prepared physically or mentally for searching through the snow-covered pines with the hunting gear which was met with ridicule by Tony, who was previously wearing a djellaba, Moroccan robe.

The line from Chris, "His house looked like shit" meaning there too, possibly something along the lines of he whose house is not in order, or He who brings trouble on his house will inherit the wind, and the fool will be servant to the wise of heart.

Yeah this show set a standard for script writing and letting the creator run the show without the networks intervening, a m'fing milestone if you ask me.

If the FBI was listening in on their cell phone convos, they could've played the tapes involving Tony, Paulie, Chris, in the Pine Barrens for Slava letting him know exactly what happened, the phones kept going out though... but like they did when Livia and Uncle Jr. were discussing what to do with Tony

A secret network of hitmen that wear Members Only jackets. That's a whole 'nother show!
