John BreenI insist on trying to repair my own things, even if the manufacturer does not cooperate. Today, it was the fuel pump for a John Deere 350-series lawn tractor with a 21.5hp Kawasaki engine. It was sputtering, low power, even after changing fuel and air filters, and spark plugs. Only 40hrs use, practically brand new. The advice for consumers suspecting fuel pump problems is "replace it - not serviceable.

naiaThe last times I've bought an umbrella, I've been greatly disappointed... so I spent years just living without one. After resisting for some time, I decided to get an umbrella for my young son, and -- well I know life is hard for objects handled by kids, but -- it broke in two (at the shaft!!!) after one day of use.That got me thinking, how hard would it be to make a good umbrella? (short answer: well, it does not seem trivial!)(I understand that the market forces go in the opposite direction, and also that people tend to lose umbrellas, so there is a strong push for keeping the prices low...)Here are some challenges:- a good dozen moving parts - panel got to resist been folded and stretched (while both dry and wet) - shaft must be resistant (wind, rain, umbrella been shaken to dry out faster) - and yet the whole thing shouldn't get too heavyAny tips about how to build an umbrella?
