Good Morning Bruce! If you like getting more use out of zip ties, there is another method you might try instead of cutting it. Insert a small flat head screwdriver where the notch 'locks' the strap. Push slightly and it 'unlocks'. The long tab can be passed back through and thus be reused. This can be done several times without any issues. Good luck my friend.

Hi Bruce Thank you for the wealth of knowledge (and good humour) you’re sharing with the world. It has already helped me immensely. I have a Honda HRB535 and the blades won’t engage. The cable is good and still pulls the brake assembly off the the clutch, so I don’t understand why the blades don’t engage. I have taken the clutch apart, but I don’t know what I’m looking at. Only thing i noticed is the brake pads are worn down to zero. Any tips greatly appreciated. B (gardener in uk)

I’m working on a vertical shaft pressure washer with a Honda engine on it. Starts up runs for a few minutes then quits. I’ve cleaned the carburetor twice, blew out the tank, and fuel lines but I can’t seem to figure it out. I changed the fuel cap with another machine still no difference. I s it possible that the pump is no good. I don’t see any reason why it wouldn’t work?

Bruce, I put another coil on it and it ran for about three minutes and the engine started running rough then shut off. Unloader issues or thermal relief valve is the next thing to try swapping out.

@@stoolie10 Exactly your issue but you should be able to get the unloader valve freed up so it works properly with a good lubrication and cleaning. At EP we suggest all our customers store their units with a shot of B&S Pump Saver sprayed inside the pump once all the water has been removed. Not only provides protection from water freeze ups but also provides good internal lubrication. Especially important if your water supply is what is called hard water
