You can read good review of this one on many welding forum, for $575 with the TIG kit it's a no brainer deal. PS: only 3 left in stock, chat or call before purchase....the case was not in...

Dealing with a ghost leak

Last year I rebuilt my QL1650 carburetor because he was leaking, I change the needle, all gasket and even the float, using ethanol ready kit. Since where I live we can purchase everywhere 93 octane ethanol free gas, I use only this in all my gas engine powered tools. Thing goes well until last week,...

Re: Farewell to a great dealer

The employees of this dealer don't purchase that business because they are afraid to loose everything in a sinking ship. Yanmar is divorced from MTD, all yellow and black one are old stock.

Re: Dead battery

The best battery you can find is an Odyssey, they use to make Sears Platinum one but not anymore. They have very thick plate and can last over 10 years but cost a arm and a leg! So what left? East Penn Mfg. and Yuasa, both good performer, I probably pick one of those over any rebrand homebrew under ...
