...Why the fuck would I need a chain on my lawnmower? AFAIK, push mowers are all direct drive for the blades, and riding lawn tractors use belts.
Carburetor, not 'carborator'. And it's mostly the most polluting engines--lawnmowers, chainsaws, etc.--that are still using carburetors. Every thing else that uses gasoline has switched to fuel injection.
And last, DO NOT LET ANYONE OTHER THAN A PROFESSIONAL CHANGE THE SPRING IN YOUR GARAGE DOOR.
This guy isn't kidding about the garage door springs. I had some of the old style ones in my old garage that broke and launched a piece of metal across the garage right past my head and made a giant dent in a 2x4. Those things are vicious.
The drivetrain to the driving wheels (usually rear) can still be with a chain.
I honestly haven't seen one in >30 years with a chain. Admittedly, I haven't been looking too hard.
I haven't haven't worked with those either, just saying that it COULD make sense to have chain drive there
It used to be common for lawnmowers to use chains. Either OOP isn't very mechanically inclined OR they are and they're just including a subtle dig to Tim Walz being yet another old guy (ignoring him being a fetus in comparison)
My thought exactly. It mostly belts and gears now
