Hello on the 2620 it has a special carb adjust screw that you can purchase to adjust the carb. First thing do you use ethanol free gas? If not start with new gas preferably ethanol free. If you store your unit with regular gas it becomes bad and its usually the first thing a shop will do. If you still have an issue check air filter make sure its clean and not clogged. You can check spark plug to make sure its not bad some times they go bad. They do sell kits with fuel filter air and plug. Also the fuel filter gets clogged and you starve the carburetor for fuel. I love Echo they run for long time if you take of them. If it dies out at full throttle could be the fuel and fuel filter. Hope this helps

Hello no thats too much. copy and paste the part number above and you can find it cheaper. Try to get it close to your home that way shipping is not too bad or the dealer. Hope this helps

hello I dont think you can use the smaller blade on the bigger container. Its built into the big container looks like you cant remove it. The idea is to be able to clean it easier and having the taller blades will allow the mixing from top to bottom. thank you

@@ExtremDIY ok thank you for the quick reply

I actually wanted the same that I had installed that my son broke but was on back order. I ended up painting it myself along with the car and loved the way it looked. My original was beat up thats why I wanted the new one. I like simple but if I would had know I could paint that rough plastic I would had fixed and painted the original which are way stronger than the Extreme online

Hello mine is 0w-20 and if you look online on any auto parts website its 0w-20 for the 2023 infiniti qx50 or QX55 4 cylinder turbo. Even on my engine bay its 0w-20. If you purchased preowned make sure its the correct book for your car. Check your engine bay there should be a decal with the oil viscosity on it. It wont hurt if you use 5w-30 but if you are in a very cold climate use the thinner oil. Thanks

Where are you putting the magnets? You can use cheap oil as long as you replace it a bit early between 3500 to max 5k miles. Use a good filter that gives you at least 20 microns and you should be fine. I guess if you are not catching anything it might be your engine is healthy.

@@ExtremDIY on oil plug, a bit over 14k km in summer. golf tdi. new filter for thick summer oil, same filter for thin winter oil.

@@ExtremDIY already used an old good looking head gasket, no problem. full metal gasket with ARP head studs. i never replace paper gasket, i use permalock lh050.

@@user-ox6nc6ly7f I think if you are going to do 14k km use better diesel oil and best filter possible that are design for 15k km oil changes. Oil is the life of the engine specially on those diesel VW engines that last a long time.

@@ExtremDIY at 500k km machining marks still in cylinder and 80% on piston

You are welcome. I love every time I use them. I ended up buying the 1/4 set also and love it. Tool porn...lol thanks enjoy

I ended buying 30 micron iron particles for an oil filter experiment but didnt think of comparing them to see the difference in size. I think I still have that filter and can check to see if the metal is close or way off. thanks

Thank you it does run with the smaller battery but you wont get as much torque on it as the 4 ah battery. I have 9 ah and it works pretty cool. Also depends on the wood. If its wet then the small battery wont last long but will work.

Hi its before the element. Not sure what you mean about the screw filter question. If its the drain bolt you mean then no they are not all the same.

Thank you for sharing I have been doing a lot more research and I will be using magnets for very long time. I am just changing oils sooner at around 3500 to 4k miles. Check out this site that has toyota oil cover cap with a magnet not sure if it fits your Toyota. There is another company that has magnetic oil filters but dont think they make hubb filters vargasturbo.com/

Hello if you have both holes that are active because usually only one works. One for the skimmer and the other is aux. I would use the one that has a control lever at the pump so you can regulate it if needed. Hope this helps

Yes you are correct on the maker and yes the vacuum thing could be an issue. I did a test with a small wind meter and out of my 4 mowers the echo has the least suction. The reason was the blade I notice that the blade was very flat to save battery life. If you can find a blade for the unit that has a higher pitch it will increase the vacuum on it at least my Echo had that issue. I also have 3 Toro and the gas one by far has more suction even with the same style blade. Not sure if they make a high lift blade for the Kobalt all I see is a multi purpose blade. Try to find one and if they make one give it a try and see that it will improve. thanks

From what I've seen, the blade is the same on all those models and there is no high lift blade available. I have seen people hack together blades but I wouldn't trust that. I'm figuring it puts too much load on the motor or uses too much battery is their reasoning. But that's just a guess.

I believe after mush research 5000 km is a perfect time to change the oil and filters. There are other options out there that give you better filtration but cost more and are not available for most vehicles. Also depends on your driving condition too. Many car companies change your oil at 7k or even 10k which I think its a mistake if you plan to keep the car. Some OEM filters dont filter less than 30 microns and with bypass valves that who know how many times they open and allow particles to get through. I like the magnets on the filter and oil plug to at least remove as mush ferrous metal as possible. I am in contact with 2 companies to a possible upgrade to my filter which do about 2 microns of filtration but not cheap. I mean if you change your car every 4 years OEM is fine with a good oil.

It is very simple to prove if the filtermag works or not , send the sample collecting to be tested at a lab & if the particles are under 20 micron , then they are removing particles of a size that would pass straight through the filter . Someone please do this , I want to know as I use filtermag in all my vehicles .

Yes its picking up pre filter ferrous metals that normally would be on element. You have to consider bypass and filter only gets between 25-30 microns at 99% efficiency. Anything under that will go through filter. Any precautions for the investment price of magnets is a plus. Do some research and you will see OEM filters are not as good as you think. If they were there would not be engine failures. Look into bypass filters, PPE filters that come with magnets, HUBB filters and will give you some idea that OEM are not the best. Best option is to replace your oil between 3k to 4k miles.

Yes everything has gone up. Its a great fan pushes lots of air but on hi its a little noisy but expected with that cfm.

Thank you it was a pain

Thank you and you are correct on that. It should have the opposing same material blade made of steel. for the smaller branches sometimes they get stuck. Its part of the main case out of aluminum and the other part is plastic. I would assume that with time the opposing blade section will wear out. They do have lifetime warranty but do take sometime to respond.

@@ExtremDIY Thanks, appreciate it. 👍

Hello its hard to know which one you have. There are 2 sizes 15mm and 14mm connectors. You need to know which one you have and the setup you would like to have to convert to. If you have the 1/4 hose it usually come with the black connector thats why I toll the hose to the hydraulic place to change the fittings. I think Homedpot sell some adaptors you can try. Check out this video it might help a little . Thanks hope it helps kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iuBiqLRzmq7VhI0.htmlsi=X8cL_vk7SvZKrKQk

@@ExtremDIY awesome thanks !!!

You are welcome

Hello the 14 ft Fiskars pole saw has about 22 inches of increments which you can snap them section to section. The 16 ft Fiskars does about 17 inches increments. The 16 ft one cuts thicker branches and has a 3x pulley instead of the 2x for the 14 ft one so its easier to cut. The 16 ft has a better blade also. On the 16 ft one when collapsed its shorter than the 14 ft pole. Hope this helps. thank you

@@ExtremDIY Awesome! Yes, that definitely helps. Thanks, appreciate it! 👍

Hello on the first number with the W is the winter weight viscosity 0 is thinner so if you live in cold climate then use 0w-20 Most cars that use 0w-20 can use 5w-30 its just a bit thicker viscosity. This is a good option if you are in a budget but its a synthetic blend not full synthetic. After some time of doing oil research and trying many oils. I recommend changing your oil at max 4k to 5k miles even if you use the best oils. I added some magnets to my oil filters and oil drain plug to catch those metals that the oil filter wont catch. Also if you can spend a bit more I would recommend Valvoline Extended protection 0w=20 or Pennzoil platinum or ultra platinum oils. You can them also at Walmart with either Fram Endurance or Fram Ultra Synthetic oil filters that are great. You would spend a bit more but will get better protection. Hope this helps

@@ExtremDIY thank you for the reply and it does, you’re the goat. I’m gonna have to look in to adding magnets my next change because that sounds awesome. Today was my first day changing my own oil and this video helped a lot! Much love from Columbus OH🫡🤍

@@bryceforgette3381 That is great to hear. I love doing my own oil changes and had a bad experience with the dealer once so no more. Here is a video I did on magnets its interesting. Have fun kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gZqqlrxet9PJhmw.htmlsi=8J8lSGT8WTyxaIe4

Hi if you read some of the comments you will see that many think its a waste of time. I personally dont think its a waste but its a very good way to keep ferrous metals out of the oil. The more research I do the more benefits I see out of using magnets on the filter and oil drain plug. I have found 3 manufactures that use magnets on their oil filters even for the cartridge type which I just found for BMW cars. Even in fuel systems there are magnetic filters. The idea is to get the oil as clean as possible. There are even bypass filters for diesel engines that have better filtration than single filters. thanks

Tell me about it. they just want you to take it to the dealer. The way they do it is by using a drain pump. They dont remove the cover like this I just wanted to make sure everything was good inside and have a bit of fun with the tools. You can just use a inexpensive hand pump and remove as mush as possible clean the magnetic plug and pour the oil in and you are done.

Thank you, Oh yeah our weather is humid..

hello here you go. This one is a M12x1.75 make sure your car has the same thread. This is for a GM 6.2 v8 M12 X 1.75 Magnetic Oil Drain Plug Stainless Steel DP002 amzn.to/3KhHShu

Hello I do love the cut and mulch lever on the Honda but the new engine has some issues and it vibrates a bit. To me the best drive setup is the Honda. I have been considering buying it again and adding a 163cc briggs engine so I can store it on the wall. I have the Toro super recycler and the cut quality is a bit better than the Honda but not too noticeable difference.

@@ExtremDIY does Kawasaki or Subaru offer a option that would work as I think they may be more reliable , and last longer than a Briggs

@@marklloyd4153 I think they also have a 190cc motor but I have never had any issues with the Briggs. The 163cc is pretty strong for what I need. We had one in the mountain bike trail and we beat it up and never broke.

I did and its a great oil but it was consumed like no other oil I have ever used. Not sure why my 6.2 V8 wasted 1 quart of oil in the cycle. Very expensive for an oil. Besides I would never pass 4-5k miles on my oil changes after all the research I have been doing. Their filter is good too at 20 microns but expensive also and you have to get everything shipped. I like local items I can get fast. You can use Penzoil Platinum or Valvoline Extended at Walmart or Castrol Edge way cheaper and they are excellent oils. Also with a Purolator Boss or the Purolator 1 if you like 20 micron filtration for halve the cost. Thank you

Hello left button on top left turns on the unit. Then you can choose your option.

Filters are limited to a micron rating. There are different scenarios in which filters allow metals to go through. If you do some research, you will find some interesting things. Magnets help collect ferrous metals that filters dont catch. Thanks

Hello they are suppose to sit flush on the inside. Make sure you let them fall on the square part. Put the plastic washers after you insert the bolts through. You need to spin the bolts till they fall in the square part of the hole. Hope this helps

That is a very good idea. thanks

I actually started doing some research on this a bit ago because I saw it on a motorcycle video the channel was Rev Zilla kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ms52iNJ_rtu3Yqs.htmlsi=4sbN-kV0dtgxHghb

Yeah have you seen his garage. He is stuck in the 1960's and he tells you oil filters do 99% filtration. What about the 1%? You dont have to use them if you dont think its good. Only transmissions and differentials use them. Some manufactures come with magnetic oil drain plugs. There are 2 companies that have magnetic oil filters. They are also used on fuel. Thanks

Been doing that for years but when you are filming and trying to remove a very powerful drain plug sometimes you forget.

Yes it is I was driving mine like that for about 9 months or so and once I changed them it made such a difference. They last about 75k miles so I have to change my fronts also which I have there to do. I also did my brakes from factory installed pads to good quality ceramic pads and cut the rotors and wow the difference was awesome. Its a big SUV and brakes are mushy now it stops the way is suppose to.

What how just how did a 10mm get in there. I know is the most lost socket in the world but inside an oil filter that is crazy. This is a great story to tell. Thank you

On the next oil change I will be doing an analysis to see the amount of metals in the oil after the magnets. I noticed once I added the magnets to the oil filter the plug is much cleaner of metals. I assume that the surface area of the oil filter magnets are a lot more than just the plug. I can wait to do the next oil change to see the results. Been looking to possibly add a bypass filter to the system to get the filtering down even more but not sure if possible on my car. Thank you

@@ExtremDIY Look up Trasko. It's a spin on high efficiency filter... similar to a bypass fiter. 🙂

That oil change had 3700 miles on it. I will be sending out oil for analysis next change.

On a new engine, the oil comes out really dirty. You have assembly lube , silicone, getting flushed. I just changed my oil on my new car @932 miles. Oil looked nasty. Will do another change at 3000. Screw that recommended 7500 mile mark.

@@pwrshots Absolutely on that new car oil change at 7500. I did the same thing on my wife's car changed it at 2k I should had done it earlier. We got the maintenance package and they change it at 7500 so I will be doing one in between. Thanks

Thank you

Correct which I will do on the next oil change to see how the filters capability are for the non ferrous metals. Thank you
