Stoff1: You peeked my interest, so I searched Dave and found there are many of them. Perhaps you are an incognito Dave:-)

Thanks for the comment and query. I used Latex-ite Optimum and Latex-ite Trowel Patch. I say they both worked well. My drive way was very weathered. Almost all was solid. Not a lot of cracks. No oil stains. I power washed before applying. Patched first and sealed last. The most critical thing to do is clean it. The better the cleaning the better the adhesion. If your driveway is pretty flat, I suggest you use a soap and stiff broom, then aggressively rinse it off for best results.

Let me know how you do. I don't get a lot of comments yet, so I am likely to respond:-)

@martyplecki7567 well up date .. runs , but after a few tries smashing the gas .. then like it bogs , idles great.. so I purchased carb cleaner .. hopefully few sprays .. should clear up .. hopefully. remember I thought this unit would take mix gas .. I was wrong . straight gas .. so im guessing I gotta clear out the oil in the carb

My driveway was badly weathered. For the big cracks I used a filler first, then, for the small cracks, gaps and the rest of the driveway, I used the sealer. I think this answers your question.

Thank you!

Sorry for the late reply. I just saw your comment. There may not be marks anywhere, but take the spark plug out and look for the piston coming up as you rotate the engine, or put a straw in the hole and watch for the piston to be at the top of the stroke. When there, both intake and exhaust valves should be closed: The rocker arms will be just slightly loose. If that is the case, your timing is OK. If not, reposition the timing belt.

Thanks for your comment. I don't get many, so, although a little late, I can respond to most. If you are doing your driveway, I hope it turns out well:-)

I don't get many comments, so, although a little late, I can respond to most. I hope your fridge repair turns out well. Either way, if you have time, let me know how it went:-)

@@martyplecki7567 i sure will. Capacitor arrived yesterday but overload will be couple more days. The compressor pins tested oL. No continuity. One of the pins on bottom with one multimeter lead on top compressor pin and other on bottom pin Tests oL . No continuity. Thanks again

No pins tested for being grounded on compressor.

Dag. Parts came in. I installed them. Still not getting cold. Compressor clicks one time, a low steady buzz, and can fill a feel slight vibration on compressor. Top of compressor a little warm. Used built in diagnostics thermisters(4) pass. Fans pass. Did hard and soft reset. Im baffled.

Yes it is. If yours cranks with the cord, there is oil in the crank case and the belt does not come off the pulley, you should be able to get it to run without many problems. Good luck:-)

I've had my x430 4 15 years I've run it to death until timing came off I can't find timing marks

For me, there is good and bad in everything that is made. If you have tried to make something you have not made before, you know it is rarely easy. That has been my experience, anyway:-)

Have you had an opportunity to work on it? How did it turn out?

Howard, there is a link at the bottom of the video you watched to a 30 minute vid that has a schematic and all the details about how to build it. If you have other q's while you are building it, ask away here:-)

Circuit diagram and a lot of details are shown in the 30 minute video. There is a link to it in the description for this short video.

D size rechargable batteries are about $6 each. The batteries I used were about $1 each from batteryhookup.com:-)

Very true but they’re rechargeable 500 to 1000 times even if you had to recharge them 10x to be the same as disposable batteries they’re still severely cheaper overall and a lot more stable in the output. In other words they won’t weaken as much throughout the charge life as disposable batteries will. And idk where you found them for $6 but Amazon has a 4 pack for around $10

Tim, Glad to see you watching:-) There is a lot to be said about Stainless Steel, but to keep it short: Some SS are magnetic some are not. If your fridge is magnetic, WD40 will not stop the magnet from sticking. The film is too thin. But it might be slippery enough for what ever you are sticking to the fridge to slide some. If that happens wipe with a damp cloth and that should help. I have some more vids coming:-)

Raymond, Thanks for the supportive comment:-)

Andrew, Thanks for the supportive comment:-)

I would charge the battery, check voltage mark date and volts. If it looses more than 0,5 volts in a month, I would recycle them and replace. In my experience, batteries that will not hold a charge are not worth the effort to try to revive, so I will not be making a vid about that:-) If there is zero volts and charging does not bring the volts off of zero, view my videos for a way to check if the safety on the plus side of the battery is tripped and reset it. For SCUBA lights, I would strongly consider replacing the Halogen bulbs with LEDs.

The belt is not slipping off and the cog has no play....for now:-)

I don't know if another carburetor would work. I expect it would depend on whether the carburetor was designed for that displacement engine. You can try whatever you like if it fits. Good luck:-)

you can buy the right carb for it online the carb in vid is for a 2 cycle engine not the ryobi 4 cycle. he going to need to rebuild the carb every season do to that fact the carb in vid is off a craftman weedeater

Sorry, Jon, I usually reply right away, mostly because I don't get that many views or comments.....yet:-) Anyhow, just thinking out loud about your broken bakelite mount, if it is not completely shattered, Epoxy might hold it together: Epoxy is fuel proof. When things that take a lot of punishment, like yours break on me, I wrap some about .3 mm copper wire around the perimeter and tighten it before the epoxy cures, then spread some epoxy over the wire and bakelite body to keep it all in place and from un raveling. If you look at the gray choke lever on the power head in this video, you will notice it has an off white substance over part of it. That is epoxy with wire under it. I repaired it that way because I knew it would be a "hard to find" part. Also the original broke because it is too weak for the application. Where as my repair is way stronger. Thanks for the comment, and I hope this helps a fellow fixer:-)

@@martyplecki7567 hi Marty - I used superglue and let it dry wrapped in wire as suggested - success! Trimmer runs better than ever.. thanks and appreciate your input and advice.

Thanks for the comment. I made other vids on this topic, specifically there is a series of 3. I am curious if folks see these when they search about making battery packs. Have you seen that these are available? If not, I must need to do something to make them show up on a search:-)

You have probably found a solution already. But, what I would add is: If you can get the cells out, try to charge them. If they hold the charge for a couple of weeks, probably not if you say they are dead, then they are not dead. If they don't hold a charge for longer than a couple of weeks trying to "restore" them is a waste of time. All the videos with folks saying they can restore dead or weak batteries are wishful thinking:-)

Tim, It took a while, but I made a series of 3 vids on everything I learned about making rechargeable Li Ion battery packs, in case you are are interested. Each are a little under 15 min long. Like and share with folks you think may be interested:-)

Thanks 👍

Thanks for the comment. I am cleaning up some and doing a vid on conversions of Florescent shop light to LED. I should get back to the batteries in about a week:-)

I have most of it recorded. Now I have to edit it. There is more content than I thought and it will take me about a week. Just an FYI:-)

Volt Man, It took a while. There was more that I learned than I thought. Anyhow, partly from your request, I made a series of 3 vids on everything I learned about making rechargeable Li Ion battery packs. Each are a little under 15 min long. Hope you find them useful. Like and share with folks you think may be interested:-)

Thanks for the nice comment:-)
