Customer states his lawn mower will not run. It can't run if it can't breathe.

Remember to check and change your filter yearly if not more often.

All cleaned up and runs like new now.

This is an oddball little tiller that I don't think I've ever seen. I've worked on this style of motor a ton of times but I've never seen it in this configuration. You can switch the tiller around and have it a front or rear tine tiller.

Pretty interesting little repair but she's ready for her owner to pick her up and put her to use.

Gas shouldn't be milky and thick. Using ethanol-blended fuel causes this.

Ethanol is alcohol and it eats plastic, melts rubber and worst of all absorbs moisture which is heavier than gas and ges sent into the carburetor.

Lawn mower carburetors such as Honda's use a zinc-coated carburetor bowl and when that moisture sits in the bowl it turns everything to rust.

Luckily this was a plastic carburetor and just had to be cleaned properly. The second picture is one that I had a few weeks ago showing how much damage Ethanol blended gas does to Honda carburetor bowls.

Marketing at its finest :-(

This type of marketing is horrible. They never want you to change the oil in this machine, only to check and add if needed.

If you run ethanol blended fuel and let it sit, it will clog your carburetor and send a ton of extra fuel into the engine which ends up in the oil and if you run it that way, you will destroy the engine!

I guess ultimately they win because you'll have to buy a new machine simply because you followed their "recommendation"

Fixed another Onan generator that they said couldn't be fixed. She's purring like a kitten... without replacing the carburetor.

I got the pleasure of fixing this beast a little while ago. It's a rock splitter and it was a lot of fun to play with, um I mean use properly.

Don't leave old fuel in your machines, with the air cleaner off and out in the elements.

A customer brought his w**deater by for repair the other day and told me as soon as he got here that he forgot his wallet.

Luckily the repair was a cheap and quick fix and since he had just drove here from across the valley, I didn't really worry about the $.

Today I received a $10 bill and this letter in the mail.
