[Just Fishing]

Better start a small engines/rc thread so @Rocket Man can settle down.

nah, this is working fine.
We can just roll with each others ADD.
(i got the bonus HD version lol)

 

[Rocket Man]

we can go back to rc cars tomorrow.
It looks like my rc parts arrive tomorrow!
w00t

stupid me got the stiffener/reinforcement plate from the wrong seller, but the chassis comes tomorrow!

might end up replacing it again before the reinforcement plate arrives.

Start some other threads PLEASE...an RC thread ...a power tools thread...and return me my regularly scheduled programming!

My leaf blower is a poulan pro yellow thing
scored it as a return for $55 shipped iirc.

$8 for the special carb tool and some tinkering, and it's been great ever since.
back then i could get that stuff like crazy via ebay.
stuff that they confirmed ran was "Refurbished"

other stuff "parts not working"
scored a bush trimmer for $25 bucks
just needed a carb kit @ $10
something was funky with the diaphragm.
And i have like 3 bushes, they are little.
meh, $35!

since the poulan pro stuff sucked out of the box and was mostly sold at places like walmart.

If you see my little shelf, it's all poulan pro stuff. and it was all dirt cheap!

Heck, when i tossed a top end kit at my chainsaw.
I realized i only paid $120 for it (50 cc model).
I thought pretty seriously about buying another refurbished one vs rebuilding it...

I have too much fun with this stuff.

This is what happens when you sit behind a computer all day, and cruise ebay and amazon when it's slow.
lol

I picked up a Murray 22" two stage self propelled snow blower for free about 10 years ago. The guy didn't use it anymore, both tires were flat, and fuel leaked out of the carb when gas was put in it. I pulled the bowl off the carb and found the brass float had a small hole in it, so it would fill with fuel and not float and shut off the fuel flow into the carb causing it to leak out the overflow port. I replaced the float for $8 and put tubes in the tires and have been using it every year since. I do both of my elderly neighbors driveways along with mine, which are about 100-120' long. It has a 5hp B&S motor that always starts on the first pull.

Just ordered my circle d converter.
did some thinking, went with a low stall double disk converter.
decided gas mileage and to keep the temps down.

+ i went with the 6.0...

Now i get to question my decision... lol

I just wish they had more options, 2200 - 2400rpm would be awesome

I took over my dads old 2 stage snow blower.
while getting parts for it, found out he bought it from kmart.
tecumseh engine

Found out they went out of business a little while back while i was trying to freshen up the engine...
nice little snow blower, starts easy.
has an electric start if i get lazy.

like all things, it just needed a carb cleaning from being neglected.

Amazon fell thru. I ordered two jugs of oil and the filter at the same time and the oil isn’t going to arrive til the 21st. Im working a half day tomorrow so I’ll go buy a third jug at wal mart. Someone said RockAuto- I like rock auto, I’ve bought some stuff there. They wouldn’t let me return a full set of calipers for my grandpa’s ram still brand new in box a few years ago so I quit using them at that time. That being said maybe I’ll start using them again. I still go there all the time to look up part numbers.

I haven’t had any trouble with returns to Rockauto recently.
I have found deliveries of things ordered online is hit or miss. Requires a bit more planning ahead.

Be sure to look up the current RA discount code over in the parts threads.

Yeah it’s usually worth 5%. RA usually gets my stuff to me in 3 days.

Same here. When I ordered a new rear impact bar to get the trailer hitch, they said 10 days, but I got it in 3.

 

[Sam Harris]

I’ll have to try them again. Last attempt, they wouldn’t ship to me, since our idiotic legislators enacted new tax laws that RA didn’t want to have to figure out.

And my dad wondered why I didn’t want to move to Denver a few years ago...
