To preface, I know very little about mechanical stuff. I do basic maintenance myself regularly and that's about it.Anyway, I was replacing the fuel filter for my old riding lawn mower and it will run but it continuously surges at high throttle and almost dies at low throttle.Thought maybe it was the fuel filter I was replacing it with, so I put the old one back on and it's doing the same shit.What the fuck did I mess up? I've replaced fuel filters a dozen times on my other equipment with no problems. Mower was running just fine too until the replacement. Still mows just fine thoughbeit as long as you keep it at maximum throttle.Things I've tried with my very limited knowledge and just googling potential fixes is changing the spark plugs, using air intake cleaner on multiple occasions, and tried running some carb cleaner in the fuel tank. Nothing has solved it. It was working fine and only started running poorly after I replaced the fuel filter so I must've fucked something up, just not sure what.picrel, the mower.
Before you take the carb off do the ol Mexican carb cleaning where you take the air filter off, have the engine running, grab the throttle linkage on the carb and rev it up and then while holding it wide open smother the carb inlet with a rag until it almost dies then let it get some air and do it again. Do this several times until it quits surging and will run from idle up to full speed without bogging. The extreme vacuum from the engine running at high rpms and then getting completely choked off will suck crud out of the carb passages.
>>28981167>continuously surges at high throttle and almost dies at low throttle.leak in a vacuum line? My old car would do that until I found the leak in one of the vacuum hoses. Lots of vids on YT about fixing that. Check the owners manual to see, or air leak in the carb of fuel injector problemo.
>>28981167It's not uncommon on cars with a carb to get some trash in the needle-and-seat any time you separated the fuel line. Particularly if it has a dual-bowl Holley and there's fuel hose where you separated. That would too-frequently get you a bit of what was probably fuel hose trash in the secondary bowl. The reason it's the secondary is that fuel flow is lower there most of the time so the needle wouldn't be open very much and the trash would wedge itself in there. Anyway, other than that cars weren't that susceptible to fine trash but the passages are much smaller on that one so I wouldn't be a bit surprised to find some sort of debris lodged in the main jet and cutting fuel flow down some.
OP tried to clean the carb- pulled it off, left the fuel line disconnected while smoking and burned to death in his garage.Saw it on the news.Had a wife and newborn baby.
>>28983502>Had a wife and newborn baby.I wish.Forgot to respond to the thread as I stopped working on the mower temporarily because now my decades old shitbox decided to stop running.

It's time for me to replace my DD, after 8 years. With gas prices being what they are, petrol or even diesel isn't an option anymore (and being an yuropean, we are taxed to hell anyway). Because the wife was raving about "how cool they are" today I booked a test drive with a Tesla Model 3 RWD long range. Never even sat in one before. I was prepared to hate it... And I loved it.>Electric is shitThe instant power was amazing to experience, and the silence is perfect for a DD. I drove it for 30 min with several full throttle pulls, and lost 4% battery. Also only touched the brakes once or twice during the entire drive. >Ikea interiorEverything you touch feels nice and solid, and nicely, and the interior is roomy even in the back . Everything being on the screen was my biggest worry, but all major controls are directly accessible and the rest you can fiddle with while the car drives itself. A few thing are legit stupid like the drive select and the glovebox, but it's not the end of the world. My only gripe is the lack of a hatch, it would be so much more practical. >Disposable carThe battery has a 8 years warranty, and they showed me a customer car with 300000km that still had 70% battery range. >Elmo MuskDon't care, I'm buying a car, not dating the guy. Ford and Porsche were no better, and people have no complaints about the brands.I'm legit charmed by this car; not on an emotional level but more like "I need a tool, and this one ticks all the boxes". I see myself getting driven to work while the ventilated seat cools my ass and the really good stereo blasts some bass. And most of all, reducing my operating costs by almost 10x. What can I do to get this idea out of my head ?
>>28985670>pay more than current market valueMy Sweet Summer child, they only pay you fair market value. The pull up two to three sales from your zip code and that's the money you get. >>28985674Even excluding the $7,500 tax credit as depreciation; that depreciation is still absolutely insane.Too bad your insurance doesn't value it any lower.Only after it gets crashed will they lower that value.
>>28986013>Too bad your insurance doesn't value it any lower.I am heavily anti-EV. Don't assume I have one. I just report what I see. My post about depreciation could have been construed positively or negatively for EVs depending on your choice of words.
>>28986017.t
>>28986026How so? They did depreciate for the reasons I stated. That can be seen as either a good or bad thing for EVs depending on your perspective. I have no interest in EVs, but if I see something I'll say it even if it seems to disagree with my philosophy and preferences.
>>28986013>Too bad your insurance doesn't value it any lower.>Only after it gets crashed will they lower that valueThat's the funny part. You pay premium prices but then crash and get shitbox money in return.

i was going to say im fine with the corolla but i would like better sound dampening and nicer suspension. performance i don't care about.
>>28983371Because 4wd drifting is fun.
A 7-second fully electric Suzuki Carry, fully tubbed with an egregiously long wheelie bar, with a tiny anemic diesel engine that's only used for failing intentionally at the burnout and sounds like shit.

>>28985927You're welcome. If I'm being honest, I never really care about that .unless someone was moving major weight I would let it go. I let tons of people go who had "personal use" amounts in their possession.

>>28985932I've been an addict for 20 years. I'm also extremely asocial and afraid of people. So when I buy stuff I buy a lot. This minimizes the time I'm exposed or the time I have to awkwardly interact with other people. Having an amount doesn't actually imply you're selling.
>>28986135Now, to be fair, there are obvious limits to this.I think that 2 ounces is a lot, that's the most I've ever had, that's "only" an eighth of pound. But, say, a kilo (2.2lb) of dried opium poppies. That's only like 2 weeks of personal use, but it looks bad.If someone has like a pound of some powder where a dose is 10mg, yeah, that's not personal use.

I wanted to try and experiment on fixing some things in my car. I wouldn't say I am not the most car savvy though. For example, I think the air conditioning in my car needs a recharge or whatever. Is that something I could feasibly do on my own or not? Not even sure how I'd investigate what I can and shouldn't do. For example, I'd probably never replace my own engine and I think it might burn oil. I have been checking the oil and putting oil in as it burns though. So stuff like that I can sort of do. How do you determine what is easy enough to do on cars? I know some car guys have full equipment to do shit like a car jack etc. Garage etc. I have none of that.
>>28985854yea
Just watch forty hours of random youtube videos about fixng your car. I believe in you op.

Was this car simply ahead of its time? I think Porsche bet too much and too early on EVs when they should've launched the Taycan around this time. After the blunders of Ferrari and others, I think Porsche got too little credit for what a great car this was, albeit initially plagued with baby illnesses.
>>28985228>especially not by a company built on sports cars.problem is that it looks gay and fat + auto only and guaranteed 50,000$ battery replacement. its a temporary car, not really worth talking about
>>28985228N.A.R.P.
>>28985286>it looks gay and fatIt looks like a Porsche>auto onlyLike most Porsche these days>and guaranteed 50,000$ battery replacementNow this is simply not true.
>>28985228>too little credit for what a great car this wasWhat was great about it? It offers nothing any other EV doesn't offer. And they expect you pay a quarter million just to get the same level of performance as a 100k Tesla?
There's nothing really wrong with it and it looked a million times better than the panamera. But if you're even considering an EV then just get a Tesla. There's not even a close second place.
