I have a Coleman power mate 6550 which will start but die within seconds. I’m currently doing research to see what the issue can be.

This is the best review, I like to see how many points, if it's 6 or 12, how many deep or shallow, 1/2 drive or 1/4 or 3/4 how many adapters ect. Thanks

So Im getting fuel to the carburetor but it will not stay running. Its cranks up with carb cleaner but shuts off right away. . Do you think that its the carburetor?

@HillCountryPrepper Ай бұрын

Sounds like you float might be stuck. Have you pulled the bowl off? Most times the detergent in fuel will gum things up. Use ethanol free or better yet 99 octane low lead aviation gasoline. You can buy that at any small airfield. Small engines love it

Hi!!! Would this cause the gas cap to not tighten properly. I've replaced 2 gas caps and still dealing with loose gas caps. I am missing that rivet. Looking at replacing it tomorrow.

@HillCountryPrepper 6 ай бұрын

I suppose it could affect the ability of the cap from tightening down securely if it was obstructed but surrendering well structure. My was just flopping around and it was difficult to keep a pump nozzle in the opening. Please let me know how the repair works for you and if it solves your cap issue. Looking forward to hearing back from you on this.

If you live on a weak grid. I feel sorry for you. I’m on a good grid. My in-laws are on a top tier grid, likely a hospital. We have 2-4wd vehicles, honestly 2021 wasn’t that bad for us. If we had a generator we probably would have needed it for maybe half a day. But we just went to our in-laws that never lost power, and hung out.

Our mechanic gives a discount for cash. I only use a couple checks for a few bills in the year. Mostly our bills are paid by credit cards automatically and we pay them off immediately and earn the points/cash.

I know a couple of independently owned convenience stores that give a discount for cash on gasoline purchases as well. 10 cents a gallon. Big difference. I'm like you, only a few checks a year, most bills on CC and paid off every month. I can proudly say I haven't carried a CC balance in over 30 years. Anyway, enough about me.

@HillCountryPrepper 7 ай бұрын

The best way I know is to disconnect it from the tie rod link, and actuate it manually. It should have resistance, like a shock absorber does, and not have a lot of play in it or "slack" spots. I visually checked the seals and looked for cracks and leaks. Mine looked good, so I didn't see the need to unbolt it. Hope this helps.

I Love your wood box, I am sure your wife is pleased! People are beyond flakey these days, sorry about your friend, Bill. We are going through a similar issue with our trash (used oil goes to auto zone) but we do not have trash service available on the mountain, and we pay a hefty fee yearly to use the dump. We can take 3 bags of trash per week, no charge...well, now they are charging us for EVERYING, even though the yearly fee has been paid. Long story short, they are being sued big time for ripping off the community. But in the mean time, we are paying huge money to dump trash. I think it's time to start burning it!!! So good to see you so often, keep these videos coming! God bless you all
