Yeah, I put out a message about once per year asking people in my area for broken tools. I've been surprised at the stuff people will happily give away when it doesn't work. On the rare occasion, I'll start a project only to find out later that there are no replacement parts available anymore. This happened recently when I was working on a bunch of Ingersoll Rand die grinders. So, now I try to look to see if parts are available before starting a project. :)

With the last one you did, it might have been a good idea to replace the primer bulb while you were reassembling the carburettor.. I've had a couple of bulbs fail on me when they got old.

I've ran across some failed ones with chainsaws and some of these blowers seemed pretty old, so I assumed I'd be replacing at least one primer bulb. Surprisingly, they were all still in good shape, not stiff at all. That doesn't necessarily mean they have a lot of life left though so I'll keep an eye on 'em.

On modern cars you start bleeding at the wheel closest to the ABS unit and work your way out. If you don't have air in the system then the order doesn't matter. Only fill to the max line if you have installed new brake pads all around. Half way between the min and max for old pads.

I think error 16 is a different, and hopefully easier issue to fix. If you Google "roomba error 16" it sounds like an issue with the bumper being dislodged and not sitting evenly so the Roomba thinks it's tilted. The search results list a procedure to reset the Roomba and then instructions for fixing the bumper issue if the reset doesn't fix it.

If your washing machine doesn't have a filter behind the bottom-front panel, like mine, it's probably on the back of the machine, at the bottom. If it doesn't have one there either, your model might not have a filter. However, I'm no pro so it would be best to check the manual for your specific model.

That part can be tough to turn. If you turn off the main water supply, you can bleed off the excess pressure by opening a faucet, then it won't matter that the top is on "Filter" instead of "Off". If you're unable to turn off the main water supply for some reason, you could use an inexpensive rubber strap wrench (like this: amzn.to/3OGuJRK ). The only other thing I can think of would be to get 2 pieces of wood (broomsticks or 1x2 lumber, around a foot long), put one on either side of the top handle, hold the ends of both pieces (two ends in each hand) squeeze and twist. Does that make sense? Let me know how it goes!

Hi Mike, it is still hard to beat a corded tool, they are less complicated and prices for parts are far less. It is great, all are fixable. You would think that a shop that owned these that the operators would just grab another grinder when they got hot and keep rotating them, but then we wouldn't be able to watch your videos. Thanks much.

I have the 333vs and the band broke and I thought about just getting a new sander but the fix seems simple enough. I also got a new o ring that helps keep the dust trap on too (there’s two o-rings on the acceptor piece that holes the cup on and they either get worn out or break). I got that one (the one for the collection cup) from a plumbing supply store for 50 cents.

I guessing, but if the piston and bore is undamaged but its all black and cached, we can rule out hard running from cold start as that will tear the metal and many channels say you can run a 2 stroke full throttle from cold start without warm up???. Echo ect give out picture charts as to WHAT happens when you do this!!! Not pretty!! I guessing that black assuming you measure the cylinder for lack of wear, is wrong or poor 2 stoke oil or too much and its coated everything and clogged? it all up. Good synthetic or part if way to go and MIX it in a small container with some petrol THEN add to main container and mix thoroughly. Always shake container before use and oil WILL settle out and you could end up with very rich oil mixture. Always use gauge when setting coil air gap approx .15 .25 mm if bigger engine but small ones .15mm (Aust haha) will be close enough or check specs. Always replace oils seal and check bearings when doing a full engine service as seals cost nothing and wear even just sitting not used, like car batteries on shelves, they degrade with time. I also put in new needle bearings as they get hammered especially on chainsaws that run 12-14000 rpm and line trimmers only 8 or 9K?.

@@Mikeattempts Yes, i totally agree and hadnt thought of that. i may be right but the stickyness of bar oil would explain and hard baked thick coating but the bore seems ok metal wise. Forestry ect are using all those cooking oils and anything that isnt "oil" based and see to do ok on the bar for lube but for the gas mix, definitely a quality 2 stoke oil which i hear the echos and stihls run at 50/1 apparently they did testing and took it to 200/1 and still kept going!! This was labs and officially done i believe but shows how good the top stuff is. Personally i use 25/1 on my old S/h 2 strokes just to be safe as using off the shelf synthetic but never had a clogged plug or rings ect. Another channel test diff mixes and found that 50/1 ran cooler than 25/1!! but i sure he was using top shelf stuff or not, he didnt say but exhaust temps were lower as less friction?
