Big Sale Has Started - UPDATED 07-31-25 (01 Apr 2025)

As some of you know my dad passed away 2 months ago today, on May 31, 2025. I posted it in the Members Only section when it happened. Thanks to all of you who have offered kind words on the forum, with phone calls, and visits in person during this time.

The Big Sale is on but not like originally planned, it is a by appointment type of thing now. I don't have the manpower, or the desire to do a big event like originally planned, I just need to sell a lot of parts that are taking up too much space here. I have been told and believe we are overloaded with Wheel Horse parts like no one has ever seen. Peeps have already been coming in from different parts of the country and buying a lot of stuff due to seeing the sale page, and seeing we are the only Wheel Horse only business in the USA that does things on the scale we do. The sale will continue for awhile until I free up some more space but you may not want to wait too long as things are being sold every day and there are limits to how many of certain parts will be sold.

As it says on the page it is still under construction and the page isn't finished yet. I've had a ton of calls for parts and the Big Sale Page may help answer some questions about what is here before peeps call. I hope that page is also clear that we DO NOT SHIP anything... This is a by appointment type of thing now. Be sure to call before you come to make sure the day isn't already full with peeps scheduled to come in, and make sure what you want is still available.

I usually start my RJ58 AND 854 every month or two just to splash the oil around and run some new gas in the tank and carb. Well this time it was a bit longer. The 854 started and run trouble free but the RJ started hard and ran real rough. I pulled the carb and took it apart and the bowl had gas residue and some other junk stuck to the bottom. I also found more residue on the needle valves. Cleaned everything up put it back together and the RJ started right up and ran like a top. I had not been using Sta-Bil in the gas but I do now.

Yeah that's a good idea if you don't use them much....mine runs all year and almost every time I open the garage since its taking up most of the room in there....
mine does have a miss and I have changed plug points and air filter and cleaned the carb but its been that way for years and still does what is needed of it ..
So maybe it needs a rebuild but I just don't know......its a 85 and got several many many hours on it but doesn't smoke but a puff here and there sometimes...
any advice would be great.............:cof3 :smile2 :bacon0

All my small engines get ethanol free fuel. I buy 15 gal. at a time and put sta-bil and marvel mystery oil in right away.
