I never understand why customer’s lie. I say this all the time on the channel. “The Machine will set the truth free”. 2x in the past few years I’ve been so roused up, I said something to them 🤣 Great fix as always! Repairs like this come down sheer knowledge and experience! You know these things inside and out! 🇺🇸🔧🤙🏻🦅

"Somebody has been a meddling." First hint something was up with the intake was the high tension wire holder not on top but on the bottom. Then when you took the intake off seeing that dimple on the top portion of the gasket kind of gave it away. Good find.

I'm not ashamed to say I know what this sounds like. I rebuilt an MS250. Guess what I forgot to hook up on the saw? If you guessed the impulse line going from the shortblock to the rear handle assembly... You're right, that's indeed what I forgot. Ran on idle but it died on full throttle.

Repairs that a customer monkeyed around with are really hard to fix unless you work on that same piece of equipment everyday. So how much are you going to bill for that one, I'm sure you have at least an hour into figuring that out.

I have a question about oil that I hope someone can help me with. I was at tractor supply looking at their in-house oil. Their SAE 30 oil that was in the small engine section was $24 per gallon and I believe it said it was for small engines. Their SAE 30 oil that was in the general oil section and said it was for automobiles was $10 per gallon. From what I understand about the SAE ratings I didn't think there would be a difference in the oil but apparently there is. Does anyone know the difference and should I definitely not use the one labeled for autos in my Briggs and Stratton engine? Thanks.

Auto oil has had the protective zinc compounds, I think zinc phosphate, removed by EPA direction for emissions compliance in cars. In small engine oil, the zinc compounds are still there and provide better lubrication protection in hard working, high operating RPM’s of small engines. That’s what I’ve been told, have not researched the details for myself.
