I have not seen where ne was called for other than the specific manufactures brand lubes.
I was infomed by a local shop that some do call for 20/50 motor oil, and that is what they use to service them.

Flipped my Lawn Mower

Harper Contract on Jul 22, 2005

I was given a non-working Poulan Riding Lawn Mower - did regular maintence such as new battery, spark plug, etc. - then cut my lawn once and then yes folks I flipped it over (please don't ask) - I can't get it to function again - cleaned out all the oil and gas out of the engine and checked for any loose wires. the engine barely turned over at first but now nothing- anyboby have any ideas (besides stop flipping lawnmowers)Read More

dirt in engine?

P

predigested on Jul 24, 2005

I would love some advice, if there are any kinds souls out there... I have a 4-cycle Troy-Bilt gasoline trimmer (model TB425CS) with only ten hours of use on it. The device is now extremely difficult to start. If I manage to get it started, it only runs for five minutes and stops itself. Also, if I get it started, I cannot stop it; the off switch does nothing. I have been told the problem has to do with dirt in the engine. This may be because my wife emptied out a can that contained diesel and refilled it with gas. (Or maybe dirt has gotten involved some other way?) We filled the trimmer from that can, and there was possibly the residue of diesel that mixed in with the new gas. The advice I'm looking for: is the device worth repairing? Shops in the area offer to work on it for $30-$36/hour, but won't give me a time estimate. Is the machine going to have any other problems down the road, after a repair? Should I junk it and move on? Should I attempt to clean the carburetor myself somehow? If I try this myself, is there an additive to put in the tank for cleaning purposes, or do I have to take the carburetor apart? What do I use for cleaning it out? I'm good at tinkering and taking things apart, but mainly with computers. I've never gotten into gas engines, and am not sure if I should start here...Read More
