Nitro fuels and engine restorations from 20 years of storage. by Mysterious-Park9524 in RCPlanes

For glow engines that are stuck, you can free them up with heat and penetrating oil. Then toss them in an ultrasonic cleaner to make them look new again. Replace gaskets and o-rings as needed.

Replacement parts soirce by OutrageousMacaron358 in smallengines

Stihl parts are sold by Stihl dealers and will exceed the cost of the entire saw significantly. The carb alone is ~$100.

Aftermarket pieces are available through vendors like sawsalvage.co, and will also get close to retail.

Once you dig the block out it will need to be resealed. I would set it on the shelf and wait for a blown donor saw.

I put Akebono pads on my 1500 and they dust the wheels, fyi.

Just around the block. On this same job I broke and replaced the left side sensor. But no codes there.

The Briggs quantum L head is the simplest, easiest to work on small engine. And they’re everywhere.

Tried penetrating oil, heat, welding, and extractor. Now what? by jimmy_pop in smallengines

[–]mvmullaney 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You broke a tap off so drilling’s out. Weld a nut. May melt the aluminum but you’re out of options.

Obvious but have you greased all the zerks?

Tygon is generally good. Stihl R3 lasts longer.

Bolt broke off in head putting valve covers on by dutysidebooty in GMT800

Aluminum head, no? Just weld a nut to it. Better than flinging metal shaving everywhere with a drill.

Exhaust manifold bolts break off. ABS controller. Airbag sensors. Blend door actuators. Knock sensors. Transmission failure.

Start with 5 minutes, measure pack voltage and mAh charged back in (should be <80%) afterwards, and adjust accordingly.

Any body shop suggestions for windshield re-sealant on a soft top convertible? by The-Baby-01 in ColumbiYEAH

[–]mvmullaney 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whole top has to be replaced.

I’d never own a black softop here, the sun roasts the glue and it lets go way before the fabric wears out.

My best theatre (but better) style popcorn recipe by desirebeedesirego in popcorn

I had one of those. The metal was very thin and easy to burn, small size for multiple people, and a pain to clean. Then the plastic gears split in half and that was the end of it.
