    Safety Switch failure determination

    If you think it may be starter or battery you can bypass it all if you CAREFULLY jump the starter solenoid. If that starts it you know battery and starter are good. Then get out your trusty Fluke and have at it

    FedEx strikes again

    IDK if you ship a lot for business or not. I do. I have a home KitchenAid Mixer repair business and I ship them all over. I've branched out some into higher end coffee grinders as well (mostly Baratza) as they're easier to get parts for and are built to be repaired rather than thrown away. In...

    FedEx strikes again

    IDK how it could be a "regional" issue with USPS. After all the issues have happened when I've sent things through them all over the country. So I cannot point to a section of the country and say "nope won't use them here because they're bad here" They're awful all over

    FedEx strikes again

    For me it's USPS is the pits. So many things lost, damaged badly or in the case of a cell phone I sold STOLEN! I refuse to use USPS anymore for my business. I stick to UPS and FedEx and oddly most times for what I ship they're even cheaper!

    Good luck getting that wheel off. I tried taking mine off and brother the :poop: I had to go through.

    New to me G2160 Steering Issue

    Is it not "working" or not "calibrated"? When I got mine it wasn't working. I researched a lot on it. Found a number of minor electrical issues (a blown fuse, a bad connection to the oil pressure switch, mis-calibrated, amongst the issues) got them squared away and I now have one finger power...

    Way back IIRC around 71 or 72? Mobil came out with the new Mobil One in the silver metal can. It came in only one grade (5W20) and I began using it in my 69 Caddy Coupe Deville with the big 472 V8, I used it in my BMW R60/6 motorcycle, my buddy used it in his 70 Camaro V8, and his 66 Triumph 650...

    You should be fine. Just don't push your intervals if you stick with it. The Super Tech is actually very good stuff.

    Super Tech is good stuff. Not sure about for small engines but it still should be decent stuff. Is that Kaw water or air cooled?

    Of course no harm. You likely would NOT want to use T-6 on say a brand new gas engine/hybrid vehicle as there is no way it can meet the specialized demands modern gas engines place. Things like Stop Start, or how a hybrid is constantly cycling it's ICE engine even going down the road. So yeah...

    Yes the Kawasaki is a gasoline not a diesel engine. That being said I use Rotella T6 in all my small engines. Not for any other reason but to cut down on what I need to buy and keep on my shelf

    Replacing Valve Stem

    OK I used the Colby stem. Wow no clue this would be that easy. And really high quality. Amazing product! Thankyou for recommending this!

    Replacing Valve Stem

    Well the opportunity didn't last long. Barely got the grass done, valve loosened up and was going flat as I backed it into the back garage. LOL Glad I got those new ones coming tomorrow

    Replacing Valve Stem

    Oddly enough, after putting quite a few squirts of SLIME in there, while jacked up, and literally watching it go flat while following directions of driving it around, I then took one of my air compressors out there (rather than the little battery operated tire pump) I inflated it to about 20...

    Replacing Valve Stem

    Looks very similar to the Colby ones. I've got both on order. Doesn't look like any outlet near by me has Quick Stem
