I am trying to rebuild an old Tecumseh single cyclinder engine. I was wondering if I can use a drill driven cylinder hone to take off enough material to go .010 oversize on the piston and rings. Can this be done by hand with one of those hones?

Stock Cylinder is 2.500 inches

My mechanic's in Missouri---she says it's either: my starter's burnt out (had arching off a bad neg. battery cable), or the ignition coil's gone bad (bought at a store we won't name, but I've had to replace every other part I've bought there within 4 months, incl. the spark plugs). Any recommendations on a cheap way to figure out which one? Single mom with 5 kids, and this is my only transport. (Mechanic is recently certified, with a 4.0 average.) Yes, the battery harness was replaced, correctly, and the battery has a full charge (took it and had it checked). I can't afford towing, or someone who's going to charge more than $20 to come out and check it onsite. Not enough room to describe all the minute details here, like I did with her, but she says it absolutely is *not* the alternator. TIA.

I own a 1997 Kia Sportage and today I've discovered some trouble going on. The engine throttle sounds different than usual. There is no evidence of any leakage anywhere...in fact, all of the fluids are fine. I just got the oil changed two weeks ago. Besides the engine throttle, the car is not going up to a decent speed when I step on the gas, especially if I'm going uphill. I'm not sure whether my rpm is higher than normal because when I drove it with this problem, I was checking the temperature to make sure that my engine doesn't overheat, which it didn't. I'm guessing something is wrong with my automatic transmission, but I can't make sure. I drive this thing every day from work (I put almost 150 miles per day on it) and currently there are about 118500 miles on the engine. I stopped at the rest area and let it sit idle for a few minutes. When I got back on the road, it drove much better than before, but it still had trouble going uphill like before.
