    Tire size mismatch question

    My shop won’t sell a tire that has too much runout. The actual amount of Weight does not matter, to a point. If it’s not right, we re order a tire if it’s not in stock… but as to trailer tires. You can try to balance them, but generally will take so much weight and have so much runout that...

    Tire size mismatch question

    I’ve been doing this myself for the last 10 years. My boss has been doing it since 1993, he has had his shop since 2013 but I wasn’t with him when he opened.. we have absorbed work by word of mouth for hundreds of miles. I just put tires on a 4 car stacker yesterday. The shop I worked at...

    Tire size mismatch question

    Many quality passenger tires end up not needing any weight and have a very small amount of runout if any. Yes any tire will flex. There is a large amount of runout with any trailer tire

    toshiba mq01abd100 SATA internal hard drive with w pro ??

    Buy an SSD. And yes you can download windows 10 ISO directly from Microsoft and install it with a USB flash drive. It will activate automatically. Just select skip key. Because you have already activated from Dell. All Dell drivers should be in the factory build of Win 10 install

    Tire size mismatch question

    Trailer tires are never perfectly round and take absorbent amounts of weight.Once you put a few on a balancer you understand. It is literally a waste of time.. yes they could be match balanced to get the weight down a little. But it’s not going to fix the runout. Balancing compound would be all...

    Doing lack of maintenance repair on Ariens 1128 snowblower.

    Got it all fixed as far as the axle bearing problem. I bought Stens bearings and the outer bearing retainer for the worn out side because I thought it needed replacement due to being hammered. Replacement only involved pulling the outer retainers and pulling the bearings out. I ordered a...

    2019 suzuki 20hp alarm

    That appears to be correct. It is an aftermarket cable and probably ripped off software but it may very well work. The real deal is around $200 now and is genuine Suzuki

    Thought my boat would be faster

    Yup. 30mph would be about right.. but if you didn’t have a speedometer, would you know? would you care?

    The diagnostic software and cable is relatively cheap. Find it plenty of places. Last I checked it was under $100. This will give you codes and live data as well as the ECU tracked engine hours

    Fuel dumping in 5.0 cobra 1994 mechanical pump, not electric.

    Just leave the gap and plugs at spec. Which if it’s 32, then run that. The flame front in the chamber is right with those timings. Points in boats were common far longer than autos and the reason is reliability

    Fuel dumping in 5.0 cobra 1994 mechanical pump, not electric.

    It’s a pretty common thing to do in an old auto engine.. but a boat engine is climbing a hill all the time. Under a complete load at all times in other words.. you don’t want to run on the raggedy edge with a boat. A hotter coil doesn’t ‘need’ a bigger gap, the plug gets an arc, the energy not...

    1957 Brooklure 1200 made by Gale/omc

    I had to look it up. Appears the entire line was manufactured by OMC and sold through Spiegle. So parts should be available. Post some pictures of the motor and power head so we can identify which motor it’s cousin to

    Doing lack of maintenance repair on Ariens 1128 snowblower.

    My mom has an Ariens Sno Tek 24E which is a compact 24 without a light and an LCT engine. With 208cc, it will throw 40’… if this one does that I’ll actually have a problem as that’s into the neighbors yard

    Doing lack of maintenance repair on Ariens 1128 snowblower.

    I recently picked up an older Ariens 1128 really cheap. It’s dated 2008. My wife put it on my list that we needed a snowblower. So it was the right price, very local , and way bigger than we need. So in a way, perfect. It just needs some work Problem was lady said it didn’t drive well and...

    Can I use any 2 stroke oil?

    I use TCW3 in anything I have that is 2 stroke.. air cooled 2 stroke oil has a higher flashpoint, so it would smoke and foul up a cooler running water cooled engine. It likely wouldn’t really do any irreversible harm. But it’s more expensive than TCW3 at the same time. It is possible to mix 30w...
