Glue on this Vaico diesel fuel filter failed. There was glue floating in the filter housing. I was able to pull the filter media apart without much restriction. Glue feels like goo.
r/TDI believes it failed because I went over the service interval by 6k miles. The fuel filter was in the car for 10 months. I feel like regardless of how long I ran this, the glue shouldn’t be deteriorated by the fuel it is filtering.
Got this tool primarily to run the fuel pump when I change the filter because VCDS is wayyyy too expensive in Canada. Checked the soot mass for the fun of it. I’ve had the car for a year, I’ve driven it 40,000km since getting it. This seems very low or is my long commute keeping it clean?
Got this bad boy for $100CAD. Coleman Powermate. 20 gallon, 3HP, 5CFM. Looks rough but the guy took relatively good care of it. Just purchased a house and want to be able to run air tools for renovations and I also do most of my vehicle maintenance so it will come in handy.
Love my MK7. Such a good looking car and has been so practical with two young kids.
Saw them in Montreal on July 17th and they said to keep an eye open for a new album by the end of 2026. Only sharing the news because I haven’t seen it mentioned anywhere. Only that they’re currently in the studio.
As a longtime Alexisonfire fan, I’m so fucking excited.
17hp Tecumseh on a 2006 zero-turn I was gifted. The manual I found has the drain plug next to the oil filter. I can’t find anything on that side but I found this under the starter. Is this it? It’s got a yellow cap on it.
If this isn’t it, what the heck is it?
Way too big for the amount of land I have but I can’t say no to free. It’s been neglected and needs a new deck but it runs great. Any tips for a new owner? It’s a 2006 with a Tecumseh 17hp engine. Got a new coil coming because the spark plug boot is damaged. Oil has been changed. Trying to figure out what I need to change the fluids in the transmissions.
My Craftsman push mower won’t start. Ran fine last summer. Started right up this past weekend. The grass was wet and clogged the exit so I turned it off to clear and now it doesn’t start anymore.
- Carb is clean
- New spark plug, has strong spark
- Fuel lines are new
- Changed filter after noticing old one had gas/oil on it
I crank and it will make smoke and sometimes it will pop once but it doesn’t start. Noticed there was oil/gas coming out of the breather. Air filter also was wet on the bottom. Assumed it was flooded. It also kicks back now sometimes when I pull the cord hard enough to yank the cord out of my hands.
Pulled the plug and put a rag in the hole. Gave it two days for the flooding to pass. No change in how it acts, actually it seems worse. Pulled the carb completely and tried to get it to run off starting fluid and nothing happens.
No clue what to do anymore. Gonna bring a multimeter home from work today to test the coil but it’s giving a nice strong blue spark so I doubt it’s that. Don’t see why timing would be off because it started fine and I only stopped it to clear a clog.
