I cannot find an adjustment screw on my Kawasaki 12.5 hp engine and it only runs well on full choke and when you idle it down it surges and runs poor. Any ideas?

I noticed a pool of engine oil dripping out into the base of the lawn mower. I shut off the mower and found out the filter was drenched in motor oil.

We had our house built three years ago. Our electricity in our master bedroom has gone out several times (not from storms) in those three years. It seems to always happen when we're either away from home or in bed sleeping. Also, when the power goes out from storms, our master bedroom won't come back on automatically like the other rooms. My husband has to flip the switch in the box like all the other times it goes out. I called the electric company that did the wiring, and they said that we probably have too many items hooked up in that room. We have the normal stuff...tv, alarm clock, phone, radio, satellite, etc...but most of these things aren't even on when the power goes out. should i be concerned about the wiring and make them come out and investigate? or are they correct, and this means we definitely can't get the ceiling fan hooked up in there? i just don't have a good feeling about it. i'm scared there will be a fire one of these days.

I locked myself out today, without keys, shoes, or cellphone, and with my oven on. None of my neighbors are home during the day, so I decided I had to get inside somehow. We have a back door with the top half of the door being glass with wood squares forming or simulating panes. I tried to break out one pane with a hammer and after beating on the glass with all my might for quite awhile it didn't break. I was finally able to use a long flathead screwdriver between the door knob and frame and pop open the door (which is ok because we also have a dead bolt we can use). Now I'm wondering if all exterior doors have safety glass? This made me feel much better about break-ins considering I had such a horrible time breaking into my own home!

My neighbor moved in to his house five years ago..him and spouse are still paying the mortgage. The branches haven't been trimmed since they moved in, and some branches are several feet onto my property and now even reach one corner of my roof. I don't want to cause waves, but I don't think I should have to pay a tree service to fix this problem. What are my options. I reside in the state of Washington.

This has probably been asked before but when taking a shower our mixer shower runs hot and then cold continuously. Why is this & can it be fixed DIY style or would we have to call a plumber? Also when running the hot tap it can take a good couple of minutes before it starts getting hot, so are these problems all related?

Just incase you need to know we have a combination boiler! Thanks ;)

In our bathroom we have the standard pull switch operating fixed halogen downlights. Lately for some strange reason we now have to pull the light switch 3 times to switch them on i.e. on, off then on and it works! Why is this?? Is it a problem with the pull switch unit or is it something to do with the transformers for the Halogen lights?

My main drain to the sewage seems to have a partial clog. Plumber says he is on his way to snake it. My question is that when we were looking for the source of our problem, We found a round overflow/vent that was in a utility closet and had been covered with plywood. It was pushing water out from underneath the plywood when large amounts of water was pushed through the pipe. The house was built in the '30's and we have only lived here a year. My question is shouldn't this vent be connected to the outside somehow? It just doesn't seem very sanitary that this thing is just covered with some plywood. What about leaking gases, the smell and such, not to mention the water when the pipe is not flowing well. The plumber is on his way and I just don't want my house torn up or be taken advantage of because of my plumbing ignorance! Thanks in advance for your help!

I have an aero bed and it inflates fine, but then overnight it very slowly deflates so that in the morning it is very soft and uncomfortable. Is there a way to find the leak point and patch it?

My washing machine started a new and crazy thing yesterday. The water won't stop running (filling up). I turn it to off, I even unplug it, and the water drips out as it does when it starts a new cycle. The only way I can stop it is to shut off the main water source running to the machine. Anyone know why it's doing this and most importantly, how to fix it? Please only helpful answers, I know I can call a repairman, I want to know if I can fix it myself. Thanks!!
