DIY Lawn Mower and Gas Trimmer Servicing
Since moving from apartment style living to a home with a lawn, yard work has become an integral part of my monthly to-do list. I've got a good size lawn surrounding my home that usually needs a cut every other week. My lawnmower is a Sears walk-behind Briggs and Stratton push mower that I've had for about 3 years now. My gas trimmer is also from Sears and features a 32cc 2 stroke engine. Even with regular maintenance and recommended care tips as outlined in the manuals, both the mower and trimmer after about 2 years of faithful service began faltering. The mower was no longer running at full power and eventually the engine safety cable broke. The gas trimmer would start then quit. Pumping the trigger continuously was the only way for me to keep the engine running. I'm no engine expert, but was able to at least do the minimum troubleshooting on both the mower and the trimmer.
Check fuel lines for blockages Replace spark plugs Check air filters Dismantle, clean out carburetor Fresh gas and new oil
Even after checking and implementing these steps, the fuel line running from the trimmer gas tank to the primer bulb deteriorated and then the primer bulb cracked. On the mower, the fuel completely stopped flowing through the carburetor. Eventually I had to consider the following three options:
Professional servicing at a cost that would most likely surpass the original cost of the equipment Replace both items with new ones which would make sense considering the potential cost of repair Fix it myself
Feeling there was more to gain than lose, I decided to try and fix the problems myself. However, I still had the following concerns:
Where I would get the parts and at what cost? Would it be worth my time? Could I actually do it myself?
I had checked my local Sears store for parts but was informed that I would have to contact a special department for the parts I needed. I opted instead to check on eBay. As it turns out eBay is a great resource for small engine parts. I found every part I was considering replacing. For less than I was able to pick up a replacement carburetor and engine safety cable for the lawnmower plus a new primer bulb for the trimmer. I also picked up replacement fuel lines and a gas cap O ring for the trimmer from ACE Hardware since it was slightly cheaper than what I could find on eBay. With the replacement parts in hand, and some great tips from do-it-yourself websites, I was able to successfully service the mower and trimmer. My lawn mower sounds fresh out of the box and the trimmer is finally purring normally again.

Best Riding Lawn Mowers For Better Performance
Many gardeners are looking for easier ways of cutting the grass. Walking behind an unwieldy lawn mower is the thing of the past. Riding mowers are becoming very popular but finding the best riding lawn mowers can be a daunting task for the customer.
If there is a sprawling lawn that covers almost half an acre, then machines that are pushed from behind or walk-behind are of no use. The riding mowers make a monotonous job exciting. Most of the people, love the entire experience of cutting the grass with these machines, they make it easier, faster and a thrilling experience.
These machines are expensive, compared to other styles that are found in the market. Cutting the grass can be a cumbersome task and walking-behind or pushing the lawn mower can be even more difficult. The best ones in the market ensure high level performance and comfort and convenience to the customers.
A conventional model has a rear engine. The engine is mostly powered decently (eight to ten horse power) and is light. They, normally have a single mower blade that has a diameter of 28 to 32 inches. Some models also have blades that are 36 inches in diameter.
The maneuverability of single blade riding mower is greater than the ones with two or three blades. They have greater horsepower than the walk-behind ones. This results in reduced cutting time.
They are costlier than the walk-behind and pushing mowers. A self-propelled walk-behind mower may cost, just around 0 but an ordinary riding lawn mower costs around 00 and the price can soar higher than 00.
The performance of a riding lawn mower is better than other standard machines. The cutting decks are smaller in the walk-behind ones and at the same time they are wider. This allows it to undertake the task of cutting the grass, adeptly.
The selection of a mower depends on the size of the lawn. Using a walk-behind machine can hurt people physically and can make cutting the grass, an excruciating experience, if the grass covers a large area. But if we opt for the best riding lawn mower, one can ride it and enjoy the grass cutting ritual that happens every week.
