ebinmaine 68,887 #378 Posted October 21, 2020 I've consulted the local expert panel which basically consists of Trina. Her suggestions are as follows: The top of a toolbox. A shelf just above eye level. Think of the one or two places that you would NEVER put it and check there. My own thoughts are that it is in a box, bin, or container that is light colored such as silver or white. Due to the fact that Murphy of the well-known Murphy's Law is often known to show up around my area I would suggest that you check something opposite to what I just said such as a BLACK BAG. The practical part of me is thinking that it would be obvious the last place you had it is in, near, or because of, the process of coating the inside of it so look wherever those chemical containers ended up. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Trina had some good ideas. You as well, but it wasn't in any of those places. As far as Murphy goes I threw him out of the garage long time ago. Never to come back. Very troublesome. It just so happened when sealing the tank I had the cap in my shirt pocket. I apparently went somewhere afterwards and placed the cap in the pocket of the door in my truck. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have found that if I have every thing that I need on a Briggs but it won't run, chances are that the fly wheel key sheared some how. Could that be what’s up with that diesel genny I can’t get to fire? It would knock timing off and lose compression, wouldn’t it? That has a ton. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I saw some lawn rollers made by Brinly (?) last Sunday that bolt on like wheel weights and cover a tire... they were about 24” wide. They were so cool! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Only if the injector is fired electrically from a magnet on the fly wheel. I would guess that your diesel engine is all mechanical though. It still could be out of time some place though. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
