    129 low power at full throttle

    The gas cap may not be venting or venting well from debris. Try it with it loose and the level low enough to not splash out. If it's running lean, you can check the plug color as well.

    voltage regulator

    Joe, OEM or knock-off; the regulator has to match the system. One has to be for D.C. generators (starter/generator) or one has to be for the alternators used on later models. (Oops we wrote at the same time)

    Best ignition coil

    Amen! I've been saying this for years but-------now the beer thirty b.s. is being preached in "CounterMan" a trade periodical for auto parts, and last year I saw it in Hemmings of all places. Sorry to hear about your overhead. Thanks for the great items I got from you so far.

    Roof painting tips

    Yeah, I remember some years ago, I think it was Conklin that came out with roll/paint on roof coating. It was white, thick, and claimed to reduce heat gain or loss. A guy I bought Frazer tiller parts from used it on his double wide's roof. He claimed it cut his A/C costs in the summer by...

    Roof painting tips

    I did a metal caboose roof one year that had some small holes. I patched them with POR-15 and then covered with wet patch and some seams as well. It worked pretty good for the painting later. 7 years and still holding.

    Roof painting tips

    I've used Henry reflective roof paint and I had similar problems when starting on cool mornings before the day got hot. All I can say is keep it warm and stirred. Do not thin. There's a lot of solids that will clump out in the bucket if it's too thin and it'll take longer to dry as well. If...

    Electronic ignition?

    Electronic ignition?

    As long as OEM quality parts are still around, years of trouble free service are to be had. The transdenser, Hall effect, etc are enhancements for performance; or replacements for NLA parts. I believe the transducer is still around being sold by Overnight Solutions LLC. One thing they all...

    1450 need help.

    ^^Excellent post Matt! For years I've used a test light to static time, but a meter is a great idea too.

    1450 need help.

    I've found checking the timing with a timing light will help dial in the correct timing. There's a sight hole in the fan housing to view the timing marks on the flywheel. You want the "S" mark to line up with the index nub on the bearing plate. (this will give about a 20* advance) The timing...

    ^X2. Amazon can be the luck of the draw. Go with those who know.

    Ground hornets

    Yep, I only get the ones in occuppied areas. One was under bushes and I had to put my bee suit on extra thick with duct tape and gloves. They went crazy and followed me like a cloud, but also very confused. Apparently they know about faces and "eyes" and couldn't register where to get at me...

    Ground hornets

    Some years back I mowed over a nest of yellow jackets. Not being into poisons or torch/napalm displays I waited until dark. I took an old terry cloth hand towel and soaked it with some gasoline and put it over the hole to the nest. Next day all were dead except for a few grubs. No drama...

    New whacker reco’s

    This is the one I like the best over the others: https://www.stihlusa.com/products/trimmers-and-brushcutters/trimmer-heads-and-blades/grassblade/ You'll also need an adapter kit to mount it.

    New whacker reco’s

    Stihl has also been my goto. I've cleaned up a lot of overgrowth on my property with a FS85 and the 8 tooth grass blade goes through briars, blackberries and the like with ease. I've even taken down volunteer fruit saplings up to 1 1/2" with it. After 20 years, last month I gave it to my...
