That wiring diagram is showing 4 wires, I only have 3. I'm wondering now if connecting the brown and black together at the key switch will kill it. Does that sound right?

I ran across this on Facebook. This guy was responding to numerous suggestions for someone to use Mobil 1. I last bought 3- 5 quart jugs of Mobil1 0w-16 for my 2023 Camry. I'm on my second jug now with 1 more left. I change it at 5k miles which takes about 9 months. If he's correct, just...

1992 Yamaha Timberwolf has 3 wires going to the key switch. From best i can tell the red is hot, the faded brown or yellow goes to the main fuse, and the black is ground. I can hook the red to the brown and the neutral light will come on, allowing me to crank it. If I disconnect them, it...

Honestly, I didn't even think about that. I will do this. Thanks

Looking for a air filter for my 2014 Honda Rancher 420. OEM is around $25. I can get Caltric from Ebay for $8.50. Is it worth going with OEM? Is there a quality difference?

Dang, that's a good deal!

I have a 2015 (I think) Hustler 72" with Kawasaki engine that I love. It only has 390 hours, but no problems. I would definitely look at buying another one if I was in the market.

Well in 2013 I bought a 2010 Ford Fusion with 200k. It was a great car! Wrecked it with 283k and it was still running great. So when I had to replace it I bought a 2010 Ford Fusion with 136k miles. This was in 2022, so a much lower annual mileage rate. I drove it to about 154k miles. They...

Knock on wood, no. I was guessing at the mileage. But checked last weekend and he is at 315k. He has replaced valve cover gaskets because they were leaking. And a few months ago it had a chirping sound when he first cranked it cold. He was thinking lifters. His transmission was also...

My best friend's daughter has a little over 220k on her 2017 Accord. The only time the fluid has been changed was about 2 months ago and only because the transmission pan had to be removed to repair a crack in it caused by running over a big rock. No issues with it. Then I hear of people...

My friend has about 320k on his 2014 Sierra 5.3l running 0w20, either Mobil1 or NAPA, whichever is on sale at the time. Changes it according to OLM. Not sure much more could be expected using a thicker oil.

295cc 2 cylinder, I believe a Robin's engine.

A friend and I were working on replacing the timing belt today. I guess we got caught up in the process of replacing the belt and honestly did not think to check the timing. But we timed it according to the manual. I don't have a compression gauge. Spark plugs look fine, a little wet. I...

I don't have a compression gauge, but I can do that. Yes, valves all work. None appear to be sticking.

My EZGO MPT 1200G ran fine last year. Always ran ethanol free gas. Added Amsoil stabilizer before winter. Probably last ran around September or so. Stored in enclosed building. Tried to use it about a month ago and it would not start. Cranks like it always has. No odd noises, etc. It's...
