Pretty much. Omaha dictates a lot to and its getting annoying. Better than my home state of Minnesota, but there are downsides too.

Mainly Lincoln and Omaha have dumb ordinances.

He uses non-oxy ethanol free gas. I have zero issues with running Sta-Bil in my stuff. But I also try to run the tanks to empty, with the carb bowl empty as well. If there is any residue left, theoretically the Sta-Bil should prevent any corrosion to form.

My dad is learning the hard way that Seafoam is NOT a fuel stabilizer. It's a decent fuel additive that can help clean carburetor jets when mixed in with fuel. But it will not help stabilize fuel for over the winter storage. He's having issues with his pontoon staying running. I told him that...

At my work, whenever we do new vehicles fresh off the transport truck, it is our job now to fill them up with gas or diesel during the test drive. I had two 2026 Ram 3500 crew cab duallies 6.7L Cummins both with 50 gallon tanks. Both had around 5 gallons of diesel in them. Both were over $200 to...

Some people deserve to be dumped in the ditch or a tree for doing stuff like that. Unless I made that gap for you, its for my own safety numbnuts.

Says she could, might take her a bit. Only thing at the moment that has a manual gearbox in my possession is that old poorly DIY'd VW car someone fabricobbled (emphasis on cobbled) back in the late 80s or 90s. Still need to get a proper rail frame and just swap the stuff to it.

Guess thats the benefit for me, living in the middle of nowhere. Most of my driving is either highway or interstate, so minimal stop and go driving. I just have a soft spot for manuals. Wife is the one that doesn't want me to have a manual. Her excuse is, just in case I get injured, she doesn't...

VW auto-stick or is there a clutch pedal I'm not seeing? Either way, solid engine and transaxle in those. Simple to rebuild, I have a book on them, would have to look to see what information is in it, since its been like 6 years since I've even read the dumb thing. Also have one on VW Baja...

Man I remember when these were like $80. I mean what's use do these smaller engines even offer?

$299 for a 420 Predator. ITC only https://www.harborfreight.com/13-hp-420cc-ohv-horizontal-shaft-gas-engine-epa-60340.html

Gents, I think we are screwed.

Still have mine new in box we got 10 years ago now. Was supposed to replace a snowblower engine. Turns out, those have a completely different pto side than a normal small engine. So now its under my work bench.

Have some experience with the Vanguard 479cc in my old Cub Cadet. And only done oil changes in the Water cooled Kawasaki in the JD LX188.

I mean $30 for a full year to save $120 just one time is worth the price of admission.
