Most all small, air cooled gas engines have a small oil capacity, no oil filter, are splash oiled, and run very hot. So thicker oil, along with more frequent oil changes are going to be required.

I like the one piece tank and bowl. It's one less thing to leak.

+1 on this ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ 80+% of the toilets I sit on are TOO LOW.

They have to be able to sell them in order to make a profit. Therein lies the problem.

"Cummings said companies and the U.S. government are trying to push EVs with positive momentum and as a, "good gesture" to benefit the environment. However, he feels the current approach is "too aggressive" and "too fast."...

The unions in Detroit did such a fantastic job at raising wages, you can now buy a home there for just a dollar. https://www.metrotimes.com/detroit/metro-detroit-house-listed-at-just-1/Slideshow/33902526/33902527

Labor unions are a lot like sex, drugs, and alcohol. Just because a little is good, it doesn't mean more is better, and too much is just enough. Unfortunately, over time, labor unions always seem to become abused in much the same manner as the other 3.

+1 While not intentional, that is most often the final outcome of what happens when labor unions get anchored in and take over. They end up producing the highest paid unemployed workers in the area. Just ask the auto workers in Detroit, the aircraft workers in Southern California, or the steel...

That Mobil V-Twin 20W-50 would be just the ticket for generators and pressure washers.

The government didn't really "take a bath", because they own the printing presses. We sorta did through the inflation it caused.

It's very relevant because it relates to financial common sense on BOTH ends of the contract. Or rather the lack of it. What I'm seeing that your not, is how much financial common sense and responsibility is totally lacking today. On BOTH ends of the deal. And not just in mortgage contracts...

100% agree.

Here I can somewhat agree with you. It's a bit like the way the FBI set up John DeLorean with the whole, "Cocaine For Cars" bust. The banks tempted these nitwits with nothing borrowers, with no money down loans. Just sign here. They played on their financial weakness. Then "piggybacked" them...
