    Generac 5000w generator with B&S engine

    Re: Generac 5000w generator with B&S engine Thanks, rbh. I tried running under varying loads and it went well, no appreciable variation caused by the load switching. It seems you're saying to exercise the governor - would it serve the same purpose to spray repeated spurts of Sea Foam into the...

    Generac 5000w generator with B&S engine

    Mid-December, my generator wouldn't start (10 hp B&S engine). It's 14 years old and probably has less than 50 hours on it. I took it locally to a guy with 25 years small engine experience, and he ended up replacing the fuel filter and carburetor. Now it starts up pretty good, but really...

I know it has been adapted to...

    Cost to get into model trains?

    I've been wanting on and off for years to get into model trains. I was considering HO gauge; we had a basic larger scale layout when I was a kid, and it was a lot of fun. My brother and I ended gravitating toward the HO cars, and the train sat in a box in the attic for years. Recently, my...

    Review writing service for businesses?

    I saw an ad for this website on TV last night. From what they said in a veiled way, and seeing this excerpt from the website, it looks to me like part of their service is writing positive reviews for businesses.

    Lawn / Leaf rakes with metal tines

    Anyone know where I can buy a "real" leaf rake, with steel tines and a 30" span? I've been buying the poly 30" rakes from Home Depot or Lowes for the last several years, replacing them every 1-3 years, depending on when they inevitably break.

    Anyone know about this? My fuel gauge on a 275 gal oil tank doesn't work and I want to figure out how much oil I have in there. Tank measures 27 x 44 x 60", horizontal.

    Lately I've been having this problem when I use Photoshop. It's an old version (PS Elements 2). Often, but not always, when I open up the program, part of the previous screen view does not disappear. I thought it might be a cache problem, but it still does it after I clear the cache. I also...
