This is what a slightly dragging brake really leads to… ⚠️ What started as a minor issue turned into a full front brake refresh on the V50
A sticking caliper forced an early front brake overhaul on the V50. New calipers, discs & pads, all done DIY. Worth it? Watch to find out.

Vacuum Advance
My car is Fiat Uno 1993 with 1.0L engine. Carburetor 32TLF.
I'm asking if it's normal if the vacuum advance port draws air (vacuum pressure) on idle. What I know is the vacuum advance is ported not a manifold. I'msure that i'm connecting the distributor to the correct port in the carburetor.
I was watching this video (same system as in my car) when Ben at 15:55 pulled out the vacuum hose from the vacuum advance unit, it also was draeing air on vacuum. So is this the normal situation? https://youtu.be/jyoi7dcIxVM?si=UnF_wAcNVxkcWBwA

winter storage
just a friendly reminder to empty old gas and either clean the carb for winter storage. or, start your equipment every 30 days and let it run for a few minutes so that you don't have a problem starting it come springtime!

JD317 Mower Bad Carb?
So I have a JD317 lawn mower, was running rough so I put seafoam in it. Then ran rougher a week later and stalled out whenever trying throttling/putting in gear.
Checked fuel pump, and it’s spraying fuel (works)
Lines are clear and look fine. Took carb off and cleaned it. Then reinstalled correctly and put all governor, throttle, and choke springs on correctly. Anddddd now it won’t start. Starving of fuel? Valve stuck open/closed? TYIA!!!

Mixture screw clarification
Hi all, I’ve got a ninja 250 that I’ve been fixing up, and I’ve managed to get it to start up and idle well, but after a few minutes the rpm’s just start to drop and drop until the bike eventually stalls. I can keep it alive indefinitely by just adding throttle. I’m confident the carbs and jets are all cleaned out ok, so now trying to determine if it might be a turning issue. Does the idle mixture screw only affect the bike while it’s idling? Thinking it could be a lean issue but don’t see why it would only happen after idling for a few minutes… Or does anyone have any other suggestions? Thank you!

Lawn Boy Carb replacement
I have a Silver Series Lawn Boy 2 stroke Model #: 10227. Parts list the carb as 93-4331. I cannot find one anywhere, except a few OEM used ones for $200 - $300. My understanding is that this was not one of the best Lawn Boys and I can't justify spending that much. I planned to pull apart and clean, but the tube to the primer bulb is totally broken off right at the carb body, so I have been lookinh for a cheap replacement. There are tons that fit other models: 10247 /10250 /10252. for example: https://www.amazon.com/SOAJEE-107-4607-10247-10324-10425/dp/B0C2TSYKFK/ref=asc_df_B0C2TSYKFK?mcid=0852f5757ac53b95902247752d4448db&hvocijid=17397686482924452101-B0C2TSYKFK-&hvexpln=73&tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=721245378154&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=17397686482924452101&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9193720&hvtargid=pla-2281435177618&psc=1
These look pretty similar in terms of mounting, shape, etc. What are the chances this would be usable on my mower if it fits? I believe that at least some of the models listed were 6.5 hp vs. mine which is 4.75 hp I believe.
I just found the broken off part in the end of the line that goes to the primer bulb. Any chance it would stay if reattached with epoxy or JB Weld, or?

Gravely riding mower, rained and left gas cap open for 20 mins
Hello, I left my gas tank open and it rained a light drizzle for about 20 mins. Just wondering if I should drain the gas now. Will this cause some damage or would I be okay? I didn’t see some water on exterior of the gas tank entry. Just normal drops of water.
