trash2cash asked:
I just found a Craftsman Lawnmower in the trash that had a snapped pull cord, and watery fuel. I just fixed it, and it runs awesome! The only problem is the oil is milkshake brown. I had it checked by an expert who said the oil should be fine if it was changed. We all know that their is a little oil left in the crankcase after draining, but i would like to clean the engine of the milky brown oil. I thought of draining the oil thats in it, and running some waste oil through to clean the engine. Should i do that?

trash2cash asked:
I found a Craftsman lawnmower in the trash that leaked gas. I replaced the carburator needle, and seat. It says to use a number 4 drill bit to adjust the float, but i could never find this particular drill bit in the store. Is their an alternative drill bit i could use instead, or is their another way?

bfiggins asked:
My 18 HP Briggs & Stratton engine revs up regardless of throttle position. It revs up way beyond what it needs to run properly. Is there some type of valve that could be stuck or have some trash blocking it?
