Re: Oil Filter Examination

Is the material magnetic ? or not David the larger flakes were magnetic. The magnet had trouble picking up the very small pieces. Not sure if the small pieces are aluminum or just embedded into the filter media. Magnet material could be pretty much anything but the engine block. I did use a decentl...

Re: 444 deal or no deal

See if the mowing deck has the steel spindle housings or the cast aluminum housings which corrode. The steel housings fetch about $50 each.

Oil Filter Examination

About a month ago I changed the oil on my wifes 2015 sonata with 1.6L turbo 168K miles, my 2017 sonata with 2L hybrid 118K miles and my Ingersoll 4016 with vanguard engine with just over 300 hours in that order. After draining out the oil pan, I found some fine metal shavings. Enough to cover my fin...

Re: Vanguard 12.5HP/14HP/16HP/18HP carburetor cleaning

Briggs can be very finicky and a pain. They to start they are extremely under fueled and run borderline lean when in good shape and from new....
