I picked up this snowblower last season, but barely used it yet as the snow stopped falling by the time I brought it home. With the blizzard coming here in CT I started it the other day to make sure...

I did this today. Another $20 in parts wasn't horrendous, nor was the 2 hours of working on it. It was really the extra labor of pulling the wire from the panel and re-running it that made me skip...

Ah...

Hkstroud, I'm using the piping from the old jet pump, but I hooked the water into the 1" line and the wiring through the 1 1/4" line. The piping does reduce to 3/4 right about where it...

My jet pump in my basement was giving out, so I cut it out and replaced it with a submersible pump. I ran the wiring for it through one of the two water lines the jet pump used, installed all the...

So, for a quick background, I put together a new computer recently. I picked up win 7 and installed it without issue to a 40GB SATA drive. I noticed after getting it set up that there were only a few...

Almost forgot to follow up... Finally got the machine running well. At one point I backed the darn screw out so far it fell out and was lost while running... but perseverance has paid off.

The...

Thank you, very kind words, but its hardly perfect from this perfectionist's point of view. She loved it, and that's all that mattered...

... but from a technical standpoint it took several tries...

Here's how it came out. The friend that sewed the project together for me made all the kids their own capes as well as practice and so they wouldn't be stealing momma's cape. All I really did was...

I tried again, and practice making perfect, I could have used just a little more practice with the iron and heat 'n' bond... but it came out much better than the first attempt. I think I'm done this...

... I'm not a girl, but thanks for the advice anyhow. :) I'll see what I can do. I haven't sewn much of anything since home economics in high school, so this is a crazy project to jump back in on....

I wanted it to be shiny. The inside liner which is already shiny will double as the overlay for the shield. Thus I bought the same type of product for the shield color. I guess I should have asked...

I'm making a superhero style cape for a friend. I've decided to make the super shield (superman style shield logo, but with different colors) out of satin to give it just a little shine. I've created...

Thanks DG. Closer inspection on both engines located the vacuum tube needed to be on the dipstick on the old engine. The new engine's dipstick didn't have one, so I swapped it out. Kind of time...

I stopped at the local parts store that carries Briggs, and they actually had the part...

... the only problem is it looks exactly like the one that came off the old engine, and I don't really...

I took a look at that pdf. It seems I had a fuel pump which I'd mistaken as something that split the gas to two different places. The old engine had gas tubes that went in both sides, where this new...

Well, summer came around and I finally bought a briggs 31G777-0559 from the site Crigby mentioned. I put it in today, and was rather pleased with myself for being able to get it on the machine. After...

I'm remodeling my downstairs bath which I'd put in myself 10+ years ago. Going good, except I'm hung up on a detail and not sure what to do.

After setting the tile I was ready to replumb the...

Actually, before I completely decide upon buying an engine it would probably be logical for me to break open the broken one and see for certain what's wrong with it?

Clarke,

Your leg work is so very much appreciated and no need at all for expedience. Indeed, I don't know if I'll be able to scrap up the money this late in the season for the replacement. To the...

First, thank you for your reply.

I checked out the deck spindles as you mentioned, though I had a feeling I wouldn't be off the hook that easy. Everything seemed to be in working order there. The...

Howdy,

My craftsman lawn tractor has served me well for many years now with nothing more needed than checking the oil and putting gas in her... so I guess I'm due.

Anyhow, I'm not so great...
