My lawnmower takes 15 -20 mins to warm up.

My lawnmower will start right away, but I have to hold the handle down for 15- 20 minutes before it gets up to speed. Any tips?

I have a Craftsman 4 cycle Leaf Blower Model 316.794830. It starts up fine a little slow to warm up then blow for about 2-3 minutes slows down and quits and stops.

The carburettor may need to be adjusted. The tool for this is not readily available, so I suggest to take it to a lawnmower centre.

I have taken apart the start trigger to check, whether the cable had come out and a spring fell out, how and where does the spring go back?

hey that's an electric lawnmower handle , you cant fool me posting this in the chainsaws section ,!!

the spring u mention it goes right back in center it holds two red handles away from switch (black thing in center) of course when your hands hold down on red handles it compresses spring and closes switch , motor brushes are most common cause of mowers not running

Soyo DYLM1988 vertical hold/jittering picture problems when starting up. Clears when warmed up & playing with monitor settings helps.

How old is the screen? if more than 5 years, the circuitry can go bad. I had this with one of mine, it would jitter for about 10 mins before it warmed up. Just get a new one, they are cheap as chips

I also have a stihl chainsaw model home light 240. I just had it sharpened and a new spark plug put in by the repair guy. I used it for 30 mins and it kept stopping until I couldn't start it again

Starting procedure for Stihl.
(cold starting)

Place saw on floor (flat clear surface).
Make sure chain break is on.
Hold throttle in, while pushing on switch all the way down.
Place right foot in the flat of the rear handle.
Place left hand on top handle.
Pull starter handle until saw fires, it should then cut out.
Click the starter switch up 1 click to half choke.
Pull starter handle again untilsawfires up. note: it will be reving because the trigger is loched on, (blip the throttle once) and it should go to tick over.

There should be np need to keep playing with the choke when the saw is warm. No need to lock the trigger when starting warm.

Warm starting is performed by holding the rear handle between the thighs rather than on the floor.

How do i fix the pull start and re tension it so cord retracts?

You take the top of the motor off with the starter, then rewind the spring,then is a good idea to replace the rope with a new one they sell rope at a lawnmower store, get 5 feet or more if the rope is up on the handle, take a piece of rope with you to get the correct size.

Car stars up and drives just fine ..until it warms up...I can drive 6 miles or so and it dies and will not start from 30 to 90 minutes or I got to the store 3 miles away go in shop for 10 min come out...

I would try to replace the coil. Shouldn't be too much money. A coil controls the spark for your spark plugs. And that is basically what it is. A coil of copper wire. When the coil gets warm the wire inside separates and you lose spark. When it cools down the copper shrinks back down and makes connection.

I hope this helps!! If so please check YES! Thanks!

How much warm up time does a dodge sprinter 2500 diesiel require in the winter time?

At idle it can take hours to fully warm up

If your concerned about driving it right away after starting, not a big issue.....start, let it warm a min or two then drive.

Diesels warm slower than gas engines, and they take longer to get warm enough to give you heat untill fully warmed up.

Normally you should see good temp and good heat after driving about 15 minutes after the first cold start of the day.

Btw, I’m available to help over the phone in case u need at https://www.6ya.com/expert/sean_54c3a3dc48a7773c

Car starts,runs for a few minutes and stalls.

The coolant temp sensor may be sending poor or no signal to the ECU It should be tested and repaced if needed. good luck, Ned-

Amana AFI2538AEW bottom freezer door handle is loose?

My dad's freezer handle is loose, model ABB2224DEW. Went to partselect.com and located drawing of freezer door parts. Found a link to a "do-it-yourselfer" that describes removal and replacement of the handle. Hopefully this helps.

Replacement of freezer door handle.
1. Removed freezer door handle. First I read the freezer door handle removal instructions in the Amana refrigerator user guide. Removing the handle requires inserting a plastic card at least 1.5 inches under the left end of the right side of the handle so it releases the butterfly clip latch on the freezer door. Next I pulled the right side of the handle to lift it away from the freezer door. Then still holding the handle away from the door, at the spot that is 1.5 inches from the inside of the right side of the handle, I held the plastic card vertically and slid one corner of it between the handle and the freezer door and worked the card down until it released the butterfly clip latch. Keeping the card at the same space under the handle so the latch was released, I then turned the card to the left until it was horizontal and was lifting the left end of the right door handle away from the freezer door. I then slid the handle across the card to the left until it cleared both door butterfly clip latches and it lifted off the door.
2. Installed freezer door handle. First I read the freezer door handle installation instructions in the Amana refrigerator user guide. The handle is curved on one edge and must be installed the curved side down. Correctly installed, the outside ends of the handle curve upward and the handle curve is down so it looks like a frowning mouth. Next holding the handle curved edge down, I turned it up so I could see the brackets and held it against the door. I lined up the handle brackets slightly to the left of the butterfly clips on the freezer door. Next I turned the handle with the brackets against the freezer door and slid it slightly to the right until the left side of the handle held onto the door butterfly clip by itself but was not latched. Then I lined up the right handle bracket with the right freezer door butterfly clip and carefully slid the whole handle to the right until I heard the left butterfly clip latch click. Next I slid the handle back slightly left once more and then slid it back to the right until I heard the right butterfly clip latch click.


Parts Used: HANDLE, DOOR (WHT) Level of difficulty: Difficult Time to do repair: 30 - 60 mins
