[@RCAFpolarexpress]

Good Morning Mon Ami, You are the BEST SMALL GAS ENGINE REPAIR 👌🧐👍Poor Lawnmower was in need basic maintenance for sure 🧐👍You did an OUTSTANDING Job Sir Cheers 🍻🍻

[@jankotze1959]

Thank You very much Dave, so glad to see you, thanks for the kind comment my friend

[@mattthescrapwhisperer]

Here in the U.S., most newer small engines have a low oil shutoff switch to prevent damage so I'm betting that is the same situation with that Torx mower. Great trick with the soda on the crack repair!

[@GosselinFarmsEdGosselin]

And most don't have drain plugs anymore.. the life of the engine is so short, there's no reason to change the oil.. WTF 🤔

[@GosselinFarmsEdGosselin]

My reply isn't here 🤔 Most no longer have drain plugs either.. engine life expectancy is less than the life of the oil.. Good morning Matt ☕☕☕

[@mattthescrapwhisperer]

@@GosselinFarmsEdGosselin I know right? And the little suction devices that go down the dipstick tube are useless.

[@mattthescrapwhisperer]

@@GosselinFarmsEdGosselin Mornin Ed 🍩🍩☕☕👍

[@GosselinFarmsEdGosselin]

@@mattthescrapwhisperer anymore, a lot of generator techs use a suction deal for oil changes, but it's a bit bigger and faster than the little ones. They use them mainly because of location and not any room for a drain pan.. and they say it's a lot faster than waiting for it to dribble out.. and wow, now Both replies are here 🤔🙄

[@GosselinFarmsEdGosselin]

Good evening Jan. Super glue and soda, or ashes is supposed to be really good together.. Nice repair!!

[@jankotze1959]

Yes they do Ed, it works fantastic my friend

[@RCAFpolarexpress]

Sir, I use the same for fixing Deicing Rubber Boots on Aircraft Propellers ( Soda, Super Glue ) for filing the Crack After I welded the decing hot wire ( I put on the top black aircraft caulking sealants ) Cheers 🍻🍻

[@GosselinFarmsEdGosselin]

@@RCAFpolarexpress I've seen it use on composite props to fill in chips.. so many uses!! Cheers Sir 🍻

Thank you Jan.

[@jankotze1959]

Thanks Bryce

[@tractortalkwithgary1271]

Wow Jan! The baking soda trick looks like it worked great

[@jankotze1959]

Gary I repaired multiple stuff on that way, even fuel leaks and it never leaks again

[@MissouriOldTimer]

that was another fairly easy fix.

[@jankotze1959]

Yes Vernon, and if he took it to a shop they will charge him double and not going the extra mile to bother with the plastic

[@tractortalkwithgary1271]

Well done Jan Full watch

[@jankotze1959]

Thank You Gary

[@GardenTractorBoy]

[@jankotze1959]

That is very interesting to hear, I never know this method will be approved by aircraft standards, wow that is fantastic, I sealed fuel leaks with this method 6 years ago on my Lister and it still don't leak ever since

[@RustyGlovebox]

They are lucky, with it being that low on oil it could have locked up

[@jankotze1959]

Yes Lloyd, I think what saved them is a blocked jet in the carb that prevent them to use it further

[@tractortalkwithgary1271]

A little low on oil, I would say

[@jankotze1959]

Very much so my friend
