I have a 196-036 timer. Stored it inside during
Most issues of this sort with these timers is water pressure holding the valve shut. Reduce the flow from the spigot and try again. If the timer still does not operate properly I would suggest removing the timer from your water system and manually activate the valve. Listen for the solenoid to click open, this can be fairly faint so it may take a few tries to definitely tell if it is operating. If the solenoid will not operate it would be best to replace the unit.

I have a 302 in a wall fountain that has stopped
check to make sure you have power going to it, i.e., the outlet where it is plugged in has power and the GFI is not tripped. Also check to see that the impeller is not clogged or has some sand lodged in the impeller. If those things are ok, your pump may be bad. the lever should only control flow and should not stop flow completely in any setting.
Drive systems difference
Magnetic Drive: In a magnetic-drive pump, an electrical charge creates a magnetic field that causes the magnet on the impeller to rotate and pump water. Magnetic drive pumps are completely sealed and do not require lubrication. Because they do not contain oil, magnetic drive pumps are safer for ponds with fish as oil leaks do not occur. This type of pump does not generate high head heights, meaning it is unable to lift pond water vertically, which you might need to supply water to a fountain.
Work best in cleaner environments with little or no debris Highly efficient, cost-effective operation Since they have no seals to wear out, they require little maintenance Occasionally clean the impeller and its chamber to ensure efficient operation
Direct Drive: Direct-drive pumps have an enclosed motor that is powered by electricity, which turns the impeller shaft. Direct-drive pumps achieve significant head height so they tend to work well for fountains or waterfalls. Some models seal the motor in an oil-filled shell with seals around the cord and impeller shaft. These are risky to use if you have a pond stocked with fish as there is an ever-present danger of water contamination if a leak occurs. Many newer pumps, however, feature alternative lubrication over oil that is safe for fish. Look for oil-free models if you house fish or other aquatic life in your water garden.
Typically more expensive to operate Ideal pump type for fountains or other accessories Pushes water rather than pulling it Not easily repaired by the user
I've a 5 litre garden pressure sprayer and it's not functioning properly. It is pumping pressure but then it's leaking it all out at top of the green handle.
Here are some steps you can follow:
Check the Seals and O-Rings:
Release the pressure: Make sure there's no pressure in the cylinder by releasing the pressure release valve.
Unscrew the pump: Remove the pump to access the internal components.
Inspect the seals and O-rings:
Look for any damaged or worn-out rubber seals.
Check the rubber seal at the bottom of the tube (where the plunger sits) and ensure it's in place.
Examine the one-way valve (usually at the bottom of the tube) and clean it. Lubricate it with silicone grease.
Lubricate the rubber washer on the plunger with silicone grease and reassemble it in the tube.
Reassemble the pump: Put the plunger back into the tube and lock it with the handle.
Test the sprayer: Pump it up and check if it maintains pressure without leaking.
Inspect the Handle and Hose:
Handle connection: Ensure the handle is securely attached to the cylinder.
Hose inspection: Check the hose for kinks, twists, or blockages. Straighten out any kinks and remove debris that might be blocking the hose.
Check the Nozzle and Wand:
Nozzle adjustment: Adjust the nozzle to the desired spray pattern.
Wand inspection: Examine the spray wand for clogs or obstructions.
Lubricate O-Rings and Seals:
Apply silicone grease to the O-rings, seals, and other moving parts to ensure smooth operation.
Test the Sprayer:
Fill the cylinder to the desired level (avoid exceeding the maximum fill mark).
Screw down the pump firmly to create an airtight seal.
Manually operate the pressure release valve to ensure it's working.

What is the transportation ring on a huskvarna chain saw
The transportation ring on a Husqvarna chainsaw is a small metal ring that is sometimes fitted onto one of the bolts when the saw is new. Its purpose is to prevent the chain from rotating during transportation or storage. If your chainsaw has this ring, you should remove it before using the saw. Keep it in a safe place so you can use it again if needed. If you're looking for more information about Husqvarna chainsaws, you can refer to the operator's manual for detailed instructions.

Scotts lawn mower 21995x8b manual
I'm guessing you have fixed this or given up after 13.5 years, but here is my suggestion for the next person who has this trouble. If you ran it out of fuel and left it over the winter, it could have a drop of fuel that hardened and plugged one of the fuel ports in the carburetor. I have had this happen and needed to remove the fuel bowl and poke the dried film with a pin. Put it back together and it started right up.

Where can i find choke cable for 422707 model # riding mower.
Do not know what brand that is, but you can find choke cables at lowes, amazon .com. or any number of small engine repair shops depending on where you live. An after market cable could be easier to find and work just as well.
