My early-2000's JVC uses this connector, which is apparently very common across a bunch of different radios:

Robot or human?

Yeah, that's the plug I have on my Alpines and my Kenwood.

Just here to report none of my vehicles have had any problems over the last several days or weeks, all are running as they should. Haven't invented any problems either so all machines are up to snuff.

Will report back when one of my machines has an unexpected malfunction.

As it stands you could hop in any one of them and travel across the country worry free.

That is all.

End transmission.

I need/want replacement washers for the carb bowl on the snowblower. One for the bolt that holds it onto the carb itself, and one for the drain plug.

MTD says these are two different things that for $6 or $8 each.

Can I use these instead, that I already have? They say they're for fuel.

copper crush washers = OK for fuel.

Danké

I must be in deja vu mode because I could swear the snowblower had carb issues last year too.

Yep. Going ballistic on t now.

I looked at the new model of our snowblower when I stopped into Home Depot yesterday for something.

Still no fuel shutoff.

It's an $8 part.

The carbs on these things are problematic because ethanol gas gums them up when you can't run it dry.

 

[Immigrant]

I’d be tempted to drain the tank, start it up, and let it run until it stops.

 

[Immigrant]

Would Stabil help?

 

[Valve1138]

I use Stabil and Seafoam.

I'm not siphoning the tank after every time I use it.

Then get ethanol free gas, you goober. None of my yard tools have any ethanol in them.

 

[HipHugHer]

Pull the fuel line or install a valve to drain it. You don't have to siphon.

 

[HipHugHer]

Pretty sure we talked about the ethanol-free gas thing before.
There were only a couple places around here that have it, all an hour or more away by a lake. Probably more common on the coast.

I've looked. Can't find any that I don't have to drive an hour for.

 

[Mr. Argumentor]

A) get enough to not have to drive out there more than once every two months
B) separate the ethanol from the gasoline

 

[Valve1138]

Spend $8 on a fuel shutoff...

 

[Mr. Argumentor]

Ethanol fuel is still fucking your shit up, broseph
