Sprayer Question
Hose end sprayers are the simplest and least expensive of the category. A sprayer jar is attached to a regular garden sprayer. Concentrated material is added to the sprayer jar. An adjustment on the jar determines the amount delivered. The force of the water through the hose pulls the material up from the jar and mixes and dilutes it with the water. A built-in anti-siphon device prevents unused material from being pulled back into your water supply.
Compression or tank sprayers are the most common type of spray equipment. Concentrated material is added to the tank. Water is then added to a marked fill line. The remaining air is pressurized by pumping the handle a designated number of times. A control lever on the wand controls the spray pattern and amount. Compression sprayers provide a precise, on target, non-drift spray good for soil and lawn pests. Adjust the sprayer for a coarse, drenching spray, a concentrated stream or a fine mist.
Tank capacities range from 1 quart to over 3 gallon for handheld models. Homeowner type backpack sprayers hold up 4 gallons. The tanks may be made from polyethylene plastic, galvanized steel or stainless steel.
In addition to treatments for pests and diseases, compression sprayers are designed for applying cleaning solutions for decks and siding.
Backpack sprayers are operated in the same manner as the handheld compression sprayer. The over-the-shoulder configuration makes it easier to carry the heavier load of material. Some backpack models also use a lever-style pump to maintain pressure without removing the unit form your back.
Powered sprayers rely on a gasoline engine for spray power. Great for larger yards or gardens due to portability and capacity (12 gallons).
Dusters are a slightly different breed. Dry powders (mostly for blooming plants such as roses) are added to a canister and applied by manually pumping.
NOTE: Compression sprayers deliver liquid under pressure. Compression sprayers are powerful and efficient tools. This fact also makes them potentially dangerous. Always read the manufacturer's instructions and safety precautions carefully.

Scotts lawn mower 21995x8b manual
I'm guessing you have fixed this or given up after 13.5 years, but here is my suggestion for the next person who has this trouble. If you ran it out of fuel and left it over the winter, it could have a drop of fuel that hardened and plugged one of the fuel ports in the carburetor. I have had this happen and needed to remove the fuel bowl and poke the dried film with a pin. Put it back together and it started right up.

Where can i find choke cable for 422707 model # riding mower.
Do not know what brand that is, but you can find choke cables at lowes, amazon .com. or any number of small engine repair shops depending on where you live. An after market cable could be easier to find and work just as well.

What are the advantages of using HDPE pond liner sheets for constructing a pond?
Here are the advantages of using HDPE pond liner sheets for constructing a pond:
- Durability and Puncture Resistance: HDPE is a tough material that can withstand wear and tear. It's resistant to punctures from rocks, roots, or other sharp objects that might be present in the soil under your pond. This translates to a long lifespan for your pond liner, minimizing the need for replacements.
- UV Resistance: Unlike some materials that degrade under sunlight, HDPE liners are UV resistant. This means they won't become brittle or break down over time when exposed to the sun, ensuring the liner lasts for many years.
- Chemical Compatibility: HDPE is non-toxic and resistant to many chemicals. This makes it safe for fish and plants in your pond, and it won't leach harmful chemicals into the water if you need to treat the pond with certain substances.
- Suitable for Large Ponds: HDPE liners come in large sheet sizes, making them ideal for constructing bigger ponds. The large sheet size reduces the need for seams, which can be weak points in a liner, and simplifies the installation process for larger ponds.
- Relatively Easy Installation: While professional installation is always recommended, HDPE liners are lighter than some other pond liner options and can be workable for DIY projects. They can be welded together to create a secure seam, and their flexibility allows them to conform to the contours of your pond.
- Cost-Effective in the Long Run: Although the upfront cost of HDPE liners might be higher than some other options, their durability and low maintenance requirements make them a cost-effective choice in the long run. You won't need to replace them as often, and they can help prevent leaks that could damage your landscaping or require repairs.
