    If you buy a generator or any small engine machine from James you know your getting a product that has been gone thru with a fine tooth comb.

    James I just completed a cam replacement because of a broken decompression mechanism on a Briggs and Stratton 18.5 HP Intek engine cam.  It was my Widowed Neighbor's Snapper rider.  I promised my friend before he died of Pancreatic Cancer that I would watch after his widow.  I have kept that promise so far.  I did this for her at only the cost of the cam Kit.  I also had the confidence to do so after watching so many of your diagnoses on so many engines.  I am 69 years old and did not hesitate to take on the repair because you gave me the confidence to do so.. I thank you and I am keeping a promise to a dear friend who meant a lot to me...  I always thought that paying it forward was a worthy cause.

    Love the fact that you use a mix of old and new tools to get jobs done! I still have and use my 70 year old Craftsmen socket set I purchased as a boy. Thanks for sharing your expertise.

    I like how he hangs a bottle of fuel on a pole like it’s an IV drip.

    Good stuff James as always. One objective way to measure if you&apos;re &quot;helping someone&quot; is the fact that, as you presented the issues at the start of the video, I began recalling what you did when units had similar issues in past videos. I&apos;m sure I&apos;m not the only one learning/benefiting as you work through each problem. Thanks again. God bless.

    A easy way to get the tank grommet out is to find a metal automotive body clip/panel removal tool and grind the slot just wide enough to slip over the small part of the grommet. makes it easy to remove them with out damaging the tank.

    Love that you are back to having the torque specs back on screen. &nbsp;I don&apos;t know why I like that I just do.

    James,as an Australian 🇦🇺 with all due respect I laughed to myself when you said 11-64th I was born 1943 so my schooling was done in imperial measurements,i worked in the building trade all my life,then we went metric,WELL can you imagine plans with duplication numbers imperial conversion to metric when building materials stayed imperial,long story short when I tried to convert 11-64th to metric i got lost,all the best from Perth W.A.👌👌👌👌👌
