As the question title says. I am a new driver and I understand that driving at higher RPMs can burn more gas faster. However getting to a destination longer, in my mind, seem to increase the amount of time you were spending gas. Are there any scientific theories? Which is better? Also, on a di...

This answer will be based on a tool from the University of Georgia Cooperative Extension Service Forest Resources Unit. I have changed it somewhat over the time I've used it, but I was sure to make it as universally applicable as possible, for use over as many species/climates/environments as pos...

It sounds like a valve adjustment is required There are many items that can make a 'ticking' noise that is tied to the RPM of the vehicle. Having the sound match RPM's certainly gives a clue that it is associated with the operation of the engine. Many times a valve adjustment is required. Thi...

Multimeters I'm looking for some responses regarding multimeter basics for the site tag-wiki to point OP's at when we want them to use one. The question is; What are the basic functions of a multimeter? How would I troubleshoot a headlamp failure with a multimeter? How can I test a fuse with ...

When trying to diagnose problems with conventional analogue electrical circuits, such as lights, speakers, heated rear windows, etc, as well as short-circuits and unexplained current draws, it can be difficult to track down the exact source of the problem. What is the best way of doing so?

Torque is work, horsepower is work rate In the context of engines: Torque indicates how much load an engine can carry for a certain distance in a certain amount of time. Power indicates how fast the engine can move that load over that distance. Some other things that may help to explain th...

I have a Craftsman Trimmer and I'm was not getting a spark when starting it. I tested it with a spark tester and had no spark. I next removed the ground wire from the magneto to isolate it from the starter circuit, but still had no spark. I removed the magneto completely and was about to replac...

You can test your magneto (can also be called a coil) directly to see if it works. If you have the coil off of the engine, you can do a resistance test on it to see if it's fried. I don't know what the exact make of the engine is, since Craftsman power tools utilize many different brands and re-b...
