What i do is clean 2-3 times with saddle soap, then apply 1-2 coats of the oil waiting 24 hours between coats, then i put 1 coat of the wax, with in 8 hours you will be able to tell if you applied too much wax. If you did just use your hand and rub the wax to heat it up the wip the excess off with a rag. Another good trick is after applying the wax is put your boots on a peet boot dryer for a few hours the wax will soak in faster.
Read the back of most TWC3 oil bottles and it says plain as day "can be used in both water amd air cooled engine such as chain saws, string trimmers and leaf blowers"
The 070's and bigger 090's were uncomparable to today's Stihl saws. Low revving and loads of low end torque. Nearly impossible to stall. We used to run a 6ft guidebar on an 090. Chain used to whistle. Could refill petrol and oil with it still running through a big log!
To switch from gas to propane, is it as simple as flipping the switch from gas to propane amd jist starting it up? I was gifted this exact generator but have no manual. I assume that's what you do but wanna ask beforehand so I don't mess up anything. Also what type of oil does it use?
I recently added a vent to one of my older fuel jugs and they said to use a step drill bit and DO NOT use a regular metal drill bit. I used a regular metal drill bit on one a couple years ago and it did not make a clean square shouldered hole and when vent was inserted it split the seam. When I put the last one in last summer 2023, I used the step bit and it worked great., no splitting. I do have a couple jugs that have the vent on the side in solid plastic away from the seam, so I think in the future I will install the vents, high up on the side of the fuel jug.
Anyone who has ever worked as a handyman will know that this van will never look and stay this organized once you get busy. No matter how hard you try, you always end up throwing 💩 in there, plus don't forget the added benefit of old materials etc that you remove from a clients house, plus any garbage and debris you have to haul away. Your van will only look this good for about a day lol
Kinda funny, my 93 Toyota RV with 3.0 is leaking in the exact same place. I paid mechanic to replace valve cover gaskets, but now it leaks from this spot! I tried to tighten the bolt but did nothing. Its a bad place to leak due to the oil burning off the exhaust right below. Where you able to fix your leak? and do they tend to leak in that area?
AvGas is dry. I ran it in my 67 GTO and the Engine got SUPER HOT, so hot it still was warm in the Morning. also AvGas is a great solvent for cleaning and repacking bearings and brakes leaving no oily residue like Automotive gas. just dont soak your hands in it as it has TEL Tetraethyllead which skin can absorb, get into your blood and into the liver and other soft tissue organs, such as Brains.
I am having problems starting my Husky Rider mower. The guy who services it told me it was the ethanol in the fuel and that it damages engines. I'm glad I came across this great video and now have a solution to the problem. Grateful to Kimball Cody for sharing his knowledge and all the posters here. 👍🙌
I'm a small engine mechanic. We switched to non ethanol fuel at the shop about 8 years ago fue to the amount of carb issues. We'd fix it and stuff would come back gummed up. Everyone gets a machine back with non ethanol and highly advise it for anything that's sits for 3 weeks or more
