I have a Toro GTS 6.0hp lawn mower. Model #20023. I can't figure out why it keeps stalling out. I have changed the spark plug, cleaned the caribrator, cleaned the gas tank out, put a new fuel line on and nothing has worked. Please help.

It's a new unit, installed by maintenance. No identifying model numbers are visible. Front does not pull off. Levers are adjustable for direction of air flow, and two control knobs: temp and mode.

We are in the final stages of redoing our bedroom. We painted the room a light/medium blue, and the ceiling, trim, and doors white. We have butterscotch hardwood floors and white faux wood blinds. The only problem is that we couldn't afford new dressers and they do not match. They are both wood, but they are two different stains and types of wood. I was thinking of getting a white, metal, floral type headboard. Do you think that will match? What would you get?

I have a Kawasaki 19V drill. While trying to remove a rusted bolt, I broke the drill chuck retainer screw. Where can I get a new one? This kind of screw has to be "Left Handed". Is there one I can get online....I can't seem to find any online catalogs for drill replacement parts.

Thanks.

I got a small tub of premixed white grout at Lowe's yesterday and an employee told me that to make it the correct shade as the grout I am repairing, to mix paint with it until it is the color I want. Is this accurate? Does the kind of paint I use matter? Is this going to compromise the quality of the hardness of the grout?

I just got a new driveway, but my garage has no gutters. I'd like to protect my driveway. Three sides of the garage are grass / one side is the driveway. I'm thinking of self installing a gutter along the front face of the garage and only 1 downspout on the corner going down to the grass.

My garage roof peaks in the middle so the rain is divided equally (on average) to all sides of the roof. Right now the shingles overlap a flat 4-6inch tall piece of wood on the top of the garage by about 1/2 inch. I'm assuming this is what the gutter would get attached to

Should i do it myself? Is this easy to do or should i hire an installer? How much would this run on average to have an installer do it? any resources would be appreciated

thanks for any help !!

Its a sears 4.75 HP briggs&Stratton engine. Regular push mower. Its only a year and a half old, and worked fine earlier this summer. Its a fuel related problem I believe. Cleaned air filter, checked spark plug but nothing. It only starts when i prime it several times. It will run off of the primed gas but then dies out a few seconds later. If I prime it 20 times, it runs about 6 seconds. the gas Ive been using all summer has now reached appox20 months old so the first thing I did was empty all the gas out tof the tank and fill with fresh gas. Its like feul is not coming from the tank to the engine. Any help or ideas would really help!

We have 2 arborvitae, both about 25 years old and about 8'-9' tall...What I'm wondering is this: Is it even possible to relocate these two gorgeous evergreens? Ideally, I'd like to move them to a different part of the same yard, so I don't think I need to worry about different pH levels (which a friend of mine had suggested). Also, if I WAS able to relocate these evergreens, how would I do it? I mean, hubby is a pretty big, strong guy with a few big, strong friends - would all that man-power be enough to pick these things up and move them 15'? One last thing - how big of a root ball am I looking at under these things?...Thanks in advance!
