Craftsman/Poulan blower won't start ... unusual problem.
Comments (33)Another Pic of Old Craftsman, Weed Eater Models I had success with âÂÂBUT WORKâÂÂ! 1. I must â SAY AGAINâÂÂ, they take Time and Interest. I would look for ring movement in the piston vs trying to rotate. 2. Try to feel for piston ringâÂÂs compression with your finger or dowl feeling for drag, rotating slow w/o oil before too much time is spent. 3. This old models which have only had bad fuel lines and carb problems are personally all I plan to touch (in my volunteering mode) vs compression teardown issues. They are normally plentiful at Estate/Garage Sales. My20 + yr old blower was 15.00 with a demo that it worked. 4. Replacing fuel line can almost become a teardown until you learn the tricks of fishing, feeding and pulling line. This was a 70âÂÂs Hobby before moving to Computer Applications/Cad and Comp Repairs as a Hobby to keep my job. Call them Hobbies vs Jobs and they become More Fun vs Nightmares.

Comments (4)I had a bad experience with GF gel stain on an oak desk. The first coat went on great, but it needed one more. I let the first coat dry for 24 hours before the second. When I applied the second coat, it randomly lifted off areas of the first coat. It was just awful looking. I thought it might have been due to my not letting the first coat dry longer, but you had similar problems after 4 days. In my opinion, there was no salvaging it. I stripped everything off (including original stain on desk) and started over. But not with gel stain. I had a wonderful chat with someone in customer support at General Finishes. He told me he preferred their conventional stains. I used their oil-based stain and then finished with their water-based top coat. The desk turned out great and I use it every day. No more gel stains for me....See Moretsy72001
