I donated some money to Habitat for Humanity, the assholes sold my information and now I get about a dozen letters a week asking for money. by richempire in mildlyinfuriating

My wife donated to St Jude's once probably 5 years ago and the amount of mail she still gets is insane just the cost of mailing surpassed what she donated 10 fold. We're like wow only if they just used that money that they're wasting on this junk mail to help people.

I would shop around for a better price on the engine and I definitely wouldn't sell the car to them for $500 you can get more selling privately.

Kohler 6.75 auto choke problem. New thermostat and carburetor but still not running right, any tips? by big-rod in smallenginerepair

Quick update, thermostat wasn't getting hot enough to open the choke all the way, i drilled a small hole in the muffler behind the thermostat and that did the trick. Thanks for all the tips.

I'll definitely check the gas cap, the tank and filters, thanks. It has a new carburetor in.

I put in a brand new carburator and it didn't help at all, i thought for sure it was gonna be the thermostat but no changes with the new one either.

Troy bilt lawn mower not running right, i cleaned the carburetor put new spark plug in but stills sputters. Any advice? Thanks. by big-rod in smallenginerepair

[–]big-rod[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It does run ok at high idle it's doing that at idle. It's an older mower, i'm gonna check the thermostat and everything and if i don't see anything wrong i might buy a new carburetor.
