diesel gensets - Bob Is The Oil Guy
Published (2009-12-01 13:26:00)
Wood burners aren't for everyone. If you're an outdoors kind of guy, like to use a chain saw and not afraid of laborious work, a wood burner is great. Personally, I love to cut and stack fire wood. Don't do too much of it in town because there are only so many trees on my lot and I only process the trees that either die or get blown over in a storm. That's normally just a couple a year. I'm happy to burn gas until I...

On 4 strokes plugs last years and years. In 2 strokes as soon as performance starts to fall a new plug goes in before else.

These are the kind of thing I am talking about, but the first one is obviously a cleaner design. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nJ8ixyerd_U&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HoAay-ogJhE&feature=related

If you go the two 6 Volt batteries in series rout, use two identical 6 Volt of the same age and Ampere Hour capacity. If the vehicle has a 6 Volt motor you could place two or more 6 Volt batteries in parallel. For Parallel applications I would use low voltage automotive type fuses for each battery so that if one fails short in the future the fuse would blow and not have any risk of a fire. The total capacity and run time for the Parallel...

P.S.-just bought my first lazy boy today with heat and massage features. Let's just say this is now on the electrical load necessity list.

the air in winter is extremely cold, and crystal clear. no need for a filter. air already comes pre-filtered in winter.

5 hours is usally about right, your snow blower runs many more rpms then a
car does so breakin is much quicker. I would change at 5hrs, then 20, then

I don't like to use waste oil for anything but starting camp fires on wet days. If you use a summer grade bar oil, chances are that oil supply will be reduced. That stuff is very sticky and thick.

The owner's manual for my 1976 ariens with a 7 hp tecumseh (still original
engine) calls for 5W-30 below 40 degrees F. Ive been using Shell Rotella T
5W-40 in it for several years now. Michigan winter's are brutal. On another
note, i use the same oil in both my John Deere garden tractor's (214,216)
with the old cast iron kohler engine's year round with no issue's.

I did have an 'easy start' plug (Champion) that worked fine for two years. Year three it would foul and I couldn't start the engine. Cleaned it; it worked for two or three runs then foul again. Replaced with a regular plug and hasn't missed a beat yet.

I use synthetic oil in my mower and snow blower never had any issues. The mower gets the old, stray, synthetic oil orphan quarts, it runs great.

I have the same motor in my MTD. Tough engine, ran it for 12 years now. I also experiment with additives in my gas and oil! I've ran Seafoam & MMO in the oil (& gas). If it's not dirty inside, the oil won't get dirty. Would go a couple more hours or to the end of your mowing season there, drain when warm and re-fill with oil.
