So i have this old LT-12 Snapper Riding Mower. With a 2cyl briggs engine. 12 horsepower, and we cant seem to get it to run without full choke. we played with the air mix screw... not much of a change, we changed the fuel filter.. and checked gas tank for dirt...

im guessing its a fuel problem but i dont know what...

one more thing; when we look inside the gas tank there seem to be bubbles coming to the surface from where the gas like starts. [but no leaking gas]

this seemes really odd but if anyone could help it would be GREATLY appriciated.

THANKS IN ADVANCE.

Don't know about you but i'm tired of reading the same question over and over...figure if you want a motorcycle, for yourself, you'd take the time to go sit on a motorcycle or do your own research..

any opinions?

maybe i should be more considerate

I heard this today and was wondering if ANYONE actually heard of this.
I was told because of the rising gas price is because that the gas company's put special additives in because of emissions during the hot months. HUH???
What about the goverment giving us a tax break, and not charge tax, so that everyone pays the same amout for gas.
Every state has a different tax %, and to help with the rising cost, wouldn't it be nice if they took the tax away till the price came down?

I replaced the 350 in my '72 K5,new motor, new rebuilt Rochester 4 barrel carb, new fuel pump, and filters; but the problem is it won't start on its own. A little shot of starter fluid and it'll fire right up. The spark plugs and wires, coil, and distributor and good. I'm lost and just want it to work. If you have any ideas or suggestions please let me know.

Is a Porsche Boxster a good first car? My son turns 17 in september, and really wants one, but I'm not sure that it's the right car. I was also wondering if it drives good in the snow. Anyone that has a Boxster, please reply with your opinion about the car. ~ Thanks

I'm a student and I have 5000-6000$ to buy my first car.I've been looking for a while for a good car and I've come down to the BMW 318I.I live in Canada and I might get this car at the 200 000 km mark.I know that owning a car with the much km isn't safe but I only want to keep this car for 5 years max.I know that having a BMW I should expect to pay heavy money to repair some parts but I'm ready to pay the price.I just want to know if this car isn't going to die on me,is this a reaible car?

Thanks!

Our councils seem to be full on supplying road blocks to stop our flow and decisions as to stop or giveway so if we have free will and used our feelings and knowing..with out being told when to stop or giveway without lights or signs ....there fore it would save a heck of a lot of monies and we would then be paying less rates..I am in the vicinity of Canada Bay and they are putting more humps and bumps , even just islands at the side of the road stops the flow ...of a once two lane traffic ...so what is the answer, also cutting down trees unnecessarily...this is our enviroment and it is an expression of us also ...thank you

Father = policy holder, we want to go about putting me on as a named driver.

Will it depend on model e.g HSE / supercharged?

People should tip auto transporters always, they don't get paid much and the are taking care of your car. Whether its a break down, or new car delivery, because for however many miles he has driven he has been concerned for the saftey of your vehicle. People commuting always cut in front of big trucks and brake or ride the shoulder to pass at onramps, or cut over three lanes to exit. Does anyone care that they are driving like complete idiots and are making traffic worse for everybody? Is anyone paying attention?
