Is this another thread where you people whine and blame everyone and everything for your poor life decisions?

Culture of disgusting hedonism and lack of self-respect. The mother of the 1-year old killed in Senatobia posted pictures of her posing with cash and a stuffed animal from her child's funeral. Happy as can be.

Three years is too long to store a vehicle without it having some mechanical problems when you are ready to drive it again. Mice will completely frick it up.
I've stored a truck for longer than that. Clean the truck inside and out, drain the fuel system, change the oil, flush and change the brake fluid, pull the battery and put it on a tender, pull the sparkplugs and spray fogging oil, keep a DampRid bucket inside the cab and replace/refill as needed, spray a corrosion inhibitor on the under carriage, treat door/window gaskets with RV dressing or dry silicone spray. If you plan on keeping the tires for it, they will need to come off and the truck set on jack stands, the brakes will need to be treated too. Otherwise plan on replacing those tires as they will be flat spotted and not safe for your kid to use.
:lol: it's a lot of work to do it right.
Better tune up your son too.

I just got a replacement battery for my EGO mower during Prime Days for $60.
I'm sure you'll be glad you saved $140 on a Chinese knockoff that uses used battery cells and faulty charge controller when it burns down your garage.

PETA has been full retard but cats, and small dogs, should be kept indoors and any pet should be strictly kept within their owner's control. People that say they have an "indoor/outdoor" cat are simply ignorant, lazy, and unfit to own any pet.

Most likely fake, those loons post these stories all the time to gin up sympathy and attention as that message board represents the only social interaction most of them have.
Just in case, go ahead and squirt some Kroil on the flywheel where it connects to the crank shaft. That is a very tight connection and the years of corrosion have only made it more so. Give that Kroil a few years headstart for your own sake... :lol:

My Honda bit the dust a few months ago, engine threw a rod (very surprising), and being Honda doesn’t manufacturer gasoline mowers anymore and I could not find a new replacement motor I was in the same quandary as you.
I hit a small stump with mine and bent the crankshaft. Ordered a new crank from Honda for $30 plus new timing belt, cam gear, and some other odds that may as well get refreshed when opening up the engine that far. $80 in parts total I think, maybe 4 hours for me to tear it down, swap in the new parts, then put it back together. Cranked on the first pull and has ran perfect since 2018.
Really simple engines to work on but if it ever dies I'm dropping a Kawasaki or Kohler Command on the deck...:lol:

Any idea why it does this?
Thermowax regulator for the choke. 5 minute fix and the part is $10. Buy several spares.

My Honda has finally given me enough issues with the transmission that I’m ready to replace.
What's the issue? I have an HRN I bought in 2016, there's a TSB for the rear axle bushings that aren't too difficult to replace. Fixed the issue with it getting sluggish and the rear wheels locking up when pulling it backwards.

The height of the hoods and size of them should be strictly regulated and reduced especially for urban environments.
Such an ignorant, uneducated opinion. Let's just focus purely on simple dimensions and not the fact that today's trucks and SUV's already incorporate front profiles and energy absorbing materials and designs for the sake of safety, both for those inside as well as those impacted. My 2000 F-150 has a relatively small front profile for a truck yet there is nothing but solidly mounted steel at the leg and waist levels, would basically shear an individual at their midpoint. New trucks have front ends that are more blunt and full plastic with bumpers mounted to crumple zones that are much more effective in absorbing and distributing impact forces.

Yeah, staring at your phone and walking into traffic isn't going to work out too well. But blame it on big trucks instead of morons earning their Darwin awards... :lol:

What those "wealthy" countries that never had larger vehicles in the first place and have made even owning and using the miserable little scraps of pot metal they call a sedans their so onerous that people that would drive have largely given up? Only thing truly baffling is who gave these low-IQ dolts calling themselves researchers the funds to conduct this hit piece.

I do all the time, just picked up a little Desantis pocket holster for my P238. Normally IWB it but sometimes that's not an option. That or a Glock 26, don't leave home without one.

I still have my late 90's e-wires and maybe a set of Flak Jackets I use for safety glasses in the yard. The wires probably haven't seen use in 20 years and didn't even remember I had them until this thread...:lol
I think I'll eventually get a PK300, simple and absolutely durable. Also doesn't need much space or charcoal. I sous vide then finish steaks on a cast iron skillet but would like to use a hot grill every once in a while. I like to make kabobs and my own gyros too but hate smelling up the house.
