Thanks Rick, I never thought about just brushing it on. I will try that when I get started. When you neutrilize, do you do so after a complete rinse and then then let the oxalic dwell then rinse as well, or leave the ox to let dry. Thanks.

Thanks for the help. The semi cabots has started to wear after 10 months, mostly on the stairs and outside the door. I want to try ready seal or woodtux so I can see first hand why everyone raves about them. The pics on readyseals website are quite appetizing.
The porch has no spindles, just 150 ft2 of deck boards - PT. Already showing some signs of wear. If I mix the F-18 at 16 per gallon or so to try, is that then applied in a pump up sprayer or downstreamed.
Thanks.

Hey,
Last spring I was a fool. I sealed my pt deck with cabots semi transparent cedar and my front porch deck with cabots solid cedar - both oil based. I used the cabots before I learned of the better quality stuff out there and this year I hate it.
To be honest, I am ashamed that as a professional in this business, I have a Lowes brand at my own home.
I want to strip it and then seal with ready seal.
I have on hand F-18 max and straight Oxalic.
Any advice on stripping cabots and brighting. I would like this to come out great for a portfolio job as wel.
Any and all help it greatly appriciated.
PS. One more thing- GO SOX!!!

Ron,
Good idea with the scott pack, but 20 minutes of air and carrying 30 extra pounds is a PITA. No to mention the neighbors might be a bit scared.

thanks Craig. I have had the OX in the eyes as well. Ouch. Not as bad though as when you are scubbing a gutter and a big suds glop falls right into your eye. That was pain.

I don't spray muriatic, occasionally I spray Oxalic. How does the HD protect againt OX Craig. Thanks.

I wear one, the cartridge type from home depot for $38 bucks or so. The cheaper one does not protect against chlorine vapors - says so on the package. Well worth the money. Last year I hardly wore it and was always getting headaches and had the chlorine smell stuck in my nose all night. The respirator prevents that, keeps me healthy and keeps the home owners away.

Fill the tank in my titan, pay off some debt and invest the rest.

If the windows spot, go over them with the windex outdoors. It attaches to the end of a garden hose, but I have poured a few bottles in my bucket with water 50/50 and downstreamed in on and rinsed it off.

Ding Ding Ding.
Russ is the winner. You hit it right on the head. The guy came out today and that was it. fixed it in about 10 minutes. The plug as come off a few times and I never thought to check it since the engine was turning and it would run on starter fluid. Never realized that the switch had that much to it.
Machine is purring like a puppy again.

The place I bought it from is on there way today to fix it. They are an hour away but do on site repair for the their hourly wage. Well worth it to me. I don't have to dump 50bucks in gas and 2 hours of my time to drop it off and pick it up. I will let you know what it is when they fix her.
-
The oil level is fine. Checked that first. I am calling around to get it fixed right now. Thanks.

Doug,
If I do have this anti backfire option, how could I tell. Would resetting it be done by simply turning the key back or is there more to it.

Kyle,
Thanks for the help. I am certain at this point it is a fuel problem. It drives me crazy, it ran perfect all day yesterday. Started it and shut it down about 8 times. Never any problems, and this morning, no luck.
I want to take the carb off and look, but I am afraid to cause damage or mess something up. I am going to find who can service it the soonest tomorrow. But who knows, maybe I will tinker with it tonight.

Hello,
My first big equipment issue. My pw is powered by a 25 HP honda V twin engine. It has 220 hours on it. Just got new fuel filter, oil fitler, air filter and plugs at 185 hours with oil change. Did 4 housed yesterday with no problems. Ran out of fuel once, filled it up and was good to go.
Went to do a house today and it would not start. It will run on starter fluid, but as soon as I stop spraying it, it dies down. I replaced the fuel filter, blew out all the fuel lines and still nothing. I took the line from the fuel pump off the carb. intake and turned the key, it shot gas so I know the pump is good.
All I can think is that something is clogging the carb.
Any thoughts, I need help fast. I have a ton booked at the end of the week.

They called me, they see that it needs to be clean. It is their property, what is dirty to them, may not be to me.
No discount either. Wether a house is fithly or not so bad, they take about the same time, same work, and same effort and they get just as clean.
-
Yeah, its just to rinse heavy dirt off. I am thinking my M5 on a wide pattern would do the trick. The shutoff valve sounds like it would work to. I think the surface cleaner will create to much mud and ruin the asphalt.
Thanks.
-
Thanks gusy for the help. It is a large area so I would like to use my surface cleaner. I do have a m5 that I would cut in with.
Any experiences with a surface cleaner on asphalt?

My bed is clean, Nothing in it. It is all on my trailer. I throw my trash in the bed and empty it at the end of the day.

Hey,
My buddy is doing a huge landscaping job for a client and his machinery has left the driveways muddy and gross. All asphalt. About 800ft2 total. He is power sweeping them and needs me to wash them. I have a steel eagle surface cleaner but am afraid it will tear up the asphalt. Any thoughts or experience. Thanks.

Randy,
After the house is rinsed and almost dry, I mixed 10 oz of wet wax with 2 gallons of water and dowstreamed it on. I avoided the windows best I could, but rinsed them again. That was it. Let it dry and it looked great, went back yesterday and it still looked great. Home owner had no problems with windows either.

I use three tips barry.
Prewet with the M5 then
1. Soap tip to apply chem as far up as it will reach.
2 Use a 0400 tip for up high,eves and gutters,
3. M5 again for rinsing.
three tips are not too bad to handle. I wear cargo pants or shorts and they all fit in one pocket.
-
I use my x jet nozzle to rinse,The M5 is great for rinsing. Straight stream for up high and wide pattern for down low.
