    Briggs Stratton Quantum engine surging

    The mower is surging/hunting because the carb is dirty. The main jet needs to be cleaned. You may be able to clean the carb without removing the carb. There is a main jet at the bottom of the carb that retains the fuel bowl. Take that bolt/jet off and spray carb cleaner through it. This may be...

    Craftsman Lawn Mower with carburetor issues.

    There is a good chance that your engine is stalling due to a lack of fuel and not a dirty carb. The fuel needle seat is probably swollen and the float bowl is not at the proper height. The "RED" needle seat gasket needs to be replaced. Below are the link to the items that you will need and a...

    Selling generators just before hurricaine

    I would not test run the units. Once you add gas and oil, the unit is considered "used" and you will end up getting less for them. Since there is no hour meter on the unit, there will be no telling how many hours are on the unit.

    2011 Toyota Matrix engine failure

    Most Toyota come with the plastic oil cartridge housing and they are prone to crack if not torqued correctly. It may have been over torqued. This will cause a hairline crack that is usually not visible, but will leak when pressurized.

    Got rear-ended by a Prius - stupid tailgaters

    Keep everyone safe and "keep right except to pass". Why made the guy in the back of you in the left lane move right just to pass you? You just make it unsafe for all us on the road. I understand that you should drive at the speed limit, but there will always be someone who will be driving at a...

    Will a dealer take a car back?

    It came with a 60 day or 6000 miles warranty. It's a 2007. I could have purchased a certified Acura from an Acura dealer. Based on pass history with this dealer, I was comfortable buying a 2007 Acura TSX from them.

    Will a dealer take a car back?

    I do not know how to post pics. FAQ states "When creating a new thread or response, you'll see a "File Manager" link on the "Full Reply" or "New Post" page." I do not see the FILE MANAGER.

    Will a dealer take a car back?

    How did the judge decide on your case? I guess it was based on the fat it was a new car. Since my car is used and I do not have the agreement of repairs in writing, I may have a tough time. I am basing it on the fact that physical repairs were done and that the repairs were poor. By the dealer...

    Will a dealer take a car back?

    I have no intention of making any threats. I work in law enforcement and people tell me that they are going to sue me and all that. I usually tell them to please spell my name correctly in the lawsuit. If I can not get the dealer to pay for the repairs at a body shop of my choice, I plan to...

    Will a dealer take a car back?

    My plan was to get an estimate at a body shop and have the dealer pay for the repairs if they are not will to take the car back. Cost of the repairs is what I plan to sue them for in small claims court.

    Will a dealer take a car back?

    Since the repairs were done through the dealer, I think the dealer is responsible (like a general contractor). It will be tough to sue the paintless dent removal guy. He is probably a work out of your home type. Can the finance company do anything? I did think they would get involved since they...

    Will a dealer take a car back?

    No. Is the dealer responsible once they try to do the repair and repair did more damage?

    Will a dealer take a car back?

    I am in a situation where I purchased a vehicle from a dealership and now I don’t want the vehicle anymore due to issues that are unresolved. Has anyone purchased a vehicle from a dealership and had the dealer take back the vehicle after 6 weeks? This was my second vehicle that I purchased from...

    Thank for all the replies. I will try the suggestion and see what happen. I was just not sure if it was normal or not. It seems like a few cars have the same issues.

    2007 Acura TSX slow starting

    I think I may be using the wrong word to descibe the situation. It seems to crank fine, but it takes a second or two to fire up. The cranking speed seems normal, but I do not have another TSX to compare it to. You guys may be right that it is the battery. I guess a load test should show if there...

    2007 Acura TSX slow starting

    Hi everyone! I just purchased a 2007 TSX w/Navi. The car has 52,000 miles. I noticed every time I try to start the car, it seems to crank for 1 or 2 seconds before it ignites or fires up. I also have a 2007 Nissan Max and it will fire right up. I am using premium fuel as required. This occurs...

    Bad Fuel Injector??

    It is OBD2. I expect a tech. to be able to determine a bad coil, spark plug or injector without guessing which is bad by replacement of items until the issue is corected. I know there to a way to test the coil pack, but I am not sure if there is a way to test a bad injector.
