Mower won't run after 20 min.
Comments (7)If you are daring, I would also hook up a small tank directly to the carb to eliminate fuel supply problems. I had one recently that had a pinched fuel line and progressive got worse over a 3 year period where it would run for 30 minutes and then eventually 3 minutes. The pinch was caused by 2 tie straps on the line and the pinch was not visible. The owner had it to the dealer twice $$$$ and they rebuilt the carb, etc. and never checked the fuel line....See More14.5 hp briggs & stratton engine won't start!
Comments (21)I recommend using a NGK BKR5EIX pt. # 6341 spark plug . IT will last 8 - 10 years depending on the hours per week it is used, commercially a good 5-6 years . The other problem is the fuel filter. An in line filter like a NAPA 3012 will filter out the the trash that the factory screen filter allows to get to the carburator. The carburator is another problem as water gets is the gas much quicker . Take bowl loose with a long pair of needle nose pliers & clean if bowl leaks gas may need to get the 2 gaskets to bowl. Make sure you have your model # . Fuel is another issue as there is more alcohol in gas these days . Premium gas may help if you don't use daily BUT the product that I have found that works best to disperse water in gas is REDLINE SL-1 fuel additive. 1 ounce per gallon will make the alcohol & water disapear. Exception to this would be when you see water on the bottom of the tank . In this case drain the tank first before cleaning the bowl of Carburator . Just a reminder to never leave the switch on when the motor is not running . Most 14.5 B & S have an electric switch that allows fuel to go through carburator when switch is on. If that does not fix your problems you have a spark issue , a valve clearence adujst hot or cold ? or broken connecting rod . Mechanical issues should be taken to a specialist !...See MoreNew Furnace.. A/C Won't Cool House
Comments (11)Tigerdunes I received information today in the mail. I guess this is their way of saying we are done......This is what it says.... AHRI Certified Reference Number 3130605 Product: Split System: Air-Cooled Condensing Unit, Coil Alone Outdoor Unit Model Number: XC14-036-230-03 Indoor Unit Model Number: CR33-30/36+TDR+TXV Manufacturer Lennox Industries, Inc. Trade/Brand name: XC14 Series Manufacturer responsible for the rating of this system combination is Lennox Industries, Inc. Rated as follows in accordance with AHRI Standard 210/240-2008 for Unitary Air-Conditioning and Air-Source Heat Pump Equipment and subject to verification of rating accuracy by AHRI-sponsored, independent, third party testing: Cooling Capacity (Btuh): 33200 EER Rating (Cooing): 11.70 SEER Rating (Cooling): 13.70 Those are the only numbers they have given me. It is doing better since they replaced the thermostat. Apparently that was part of the problem. Something still doesn't feel right in the afternoons around 1 or 2pm til about 5pm. It's hard to explain even though the temp says 75 or 74 in here it feels like a temperature warmer then what it says. I'm not completely happy. I guess I will have to learn to live with it. Hind site is always 20/20. I think I could have gotten better for the money I paid. I have no qualms about having the return duct work redone. It was needed and I'm glad I did. I am concerned this winter when the weather is below freezing. Is it going to be able to be as good as my old system. I didn't worry about frozen pipes or anything. This one has me concerned. I never did find out what was recorded on the AC unit. I don't know if it showed the compressor running like it was suppose to, if the fan was running when the compressor wasn't or anything like that. It only records for 24 hours and they put it on 3 different times so they could compare the readings. Never received any feedback. I guess they didn't like my comment day before yesterday. I think I got stung big time. ............................................. Bobpratt That is when I notice a big difference is in the afternoon. I also have a very low attic (can't stand up in) and even though I have huge shade trees to the east and west of the house the sun does beat down on it. It is also the heat of the day. Would you elaborate more about holding the plastic bag to the intake vent. Are you saying if the coil is freezing up it won't suck it up? But it still sounds like it is running like it is suppose to be? ....................................... I'm not sure why all these dealers are pushing Lennox. Just my opinion.....There are better out there....See MoreT'stat clicks on/off rapidly causing the A/C compressor to turn on/off
Comments (33)Load shedding/demand management is not a new idea. It's certainly an appropriate strategy when user demand for electricity exceeds transmission capability--irrespective of the cost of electricity or what state you happen to live in. Whether it's appropriate for a particular user to volunteer to participate in a load shedding program requires them to weigh a number of factors including their lifestyle and health needs and the performance of their particular home. Bumping a temperature setpoint up or down in a well-insulated home, for example, will have different implications than a poorly insulated one. Shedding the hot water heating load will have different implications for a large family or a single person and for a system which has a large versus a small tank. As for me, I'd rather have the set-point of my air conditioner raised a couple of degrees than the alternatives if the alternatives are a loss of a power grid or rolling blackouts. But, that's a personal choice....See Morebrickeyee
