    Thoughts on new Stihl KM94?

    I am trying to decide between the km94 and km110 kombi power heads. It will be used residentially with the edger and articulating hedge trimmer attachments primarily. Price is essentially the same. I prefer a true 2-cycle over the hybrid 2/4-cycles. My main concern is the reliability of the...

    4-mix questions

    I just picked up a used FS-130R with the 4-mix. I replaced the air and fuel filters, spark plug, cleaned the spark arrestor and adjusted the valves. I've heard that they have a few quirks. Stihl suggests to decarbonize the engine every 150hrs. I assume this has never been done to my unit so...

    Air compressor fix

    Kobalt air compressor wasn't building pressure, so I took it apart and found this: I am having a hard time locating a replacement piece, the few places I have found online want you to buy an entire pump/motor unit for interior parts ($175 for a 10 cent piece!). Kobalt service sucks so far...

    Rebuilding alternator

    I'm pretty sure that my alternator died on me the other night, I slowly lost power over about 10 min until it completely died, then gave me a code 11 "momentary loss of power to ECU". Battery had 11.99-12.00 volts, radio and lights worked but the starter would not move at all. I charged the...

    Fuel pump, maybe more, need to get it running asap.

    Truck won't start, it is my DD. Fuel pump is not running, jumped the test connectors under the hood to give current to the pump with the ignition switch at the on position, beat on the fuel tank, nothing. It is getting current, 12.39V, to the snap connector on the top of the fuel tank. A...

    Painting Vinyl Wallboard

    I have a few rooms to paint that have vinyl wallboard with a floral pattern and slight texture to them on the walls. Oil or water based primer? Any special prepwork? They will be topcoated with a satin or eggshell finish. Thanks, James

    Runs only under part throttle

    The other day I went to pull out into traffic and my truck would not go. I had been driving it throughout the day with no problems. The rpm's went down and it sort of sputtered and weakly surged. I pulled into a parking lot, or rather coasted, and put it in neutral and it rev's up fine. It...

    Nissan altima repair

    A friend of mine has a nissan altima first generation, 1994 or so, with the 4cylinder that has broken down. The engine started to overheat on the highway after the first 25 miles, made it back home and proceeded to let it cool down. Then drained and flushed the old coolant out, still had quite...

    Check valve on firewall

    When I was replacing the vacuum hoses on my 62 I forgot which way the blue and white check valve on the firewall is installed. I put it back on with the white side on the passenger side/blue side on drivers side. Is this correct? Thanks

    A shocking turn of events.

    Yesterday my truck started to shock me when I shut the door after turning off the engine and exiting the vehicle. I have been having some fuel delivery problems that I think are electrical related. https://forum.ih8mud.com/showthread.php?t=127852&highlight=cruiser+flatbed Seems to me that...

    Any CAT's in a Landcruiser?

    Has anyone put a CAT diesel in a cruiser, or know of someone who did. I have dreamed of doing this for along time and am not sure how much of a pain it would be sourcing the various parts and adapters. Diesels rule. :beer:

    Half way through my first birf job

    Well, after putting it off for a couple years I finally got around to rebuilding my knuckles. I'm a Florida boy but my truck is from the north, it seems like every damn nut and bolt is rusted. I've got everything dissassembled to the axle housing, just need to clean up all the parts and put it...

    Cruiser came home on a flatbed tonight

    After work tonight my truck would crank and crank but not start. It has been hesitant to start occasionally, but after 2 or 3 short cranks it would fire up. Not sure if this is related or not, yesterday afternoon I stopped for gas at a station I've never used before, prepaid $10, and when I...

    Ford  f350 winch options/opinions

    A friend of mine asked me to help him find a winch for his 03 f350 crew cab diesel. He already has an aftermarket bumper with winch mount. I'm thinking he will need at least a 12000 pound model. After searching, the consensus seems to be warn is the way to go ( if you want an #8000 pull, and...

    *@%$& Fuel Filter

    I have been trying to replace my fuel filter for the past few months. I can't get the damn bolts that attatch the fuel lines to the filter off. I spray it with PB blaster a couple of times a week, and try to loosen them every other week or so. Today after trying wrenches and sockets with no...

    Transmission temp gauge

    I've had the AT temp light come on a few times in the past year or so during interstate driving, comes on if i push it over 2500 RPM ~ 70MPH for any length of time. I installed an aftermarket cooler and it has happened again. Dropped the pan, cleaned the filter( it was clean, just some small...
