It's a hack, but you can use needle nose plyers to let you pry open those razor blade heads to clean the blades inside the heads. My Arcitec shaver stopped working after being clogged, rather than pay $50 for new blades, I just opened it up, took out the blades and cleaned it with an old toothbrush and soap.

This is a major problem with Arcitec shavers. You and thousands of other have found out too late that the blades can not be removed for manual cleaning. Unfortunately, there is no good solution. You can try running the shaver under hot water or running the shaver with the heads dipped in rubbing alcol. You can also try picking out the 'gunk' with a toothpick. You will probably only find these to provide minimal results.

If you find that you still must replace the heads, you will fin tham at shaveroutlet.com. See link below

2011 arctic cat 550 efi hard to start once started will idle but spits sputters when you push throttle

Based on the information you have provided, there are a few possible causes for the issues with your 2011 Arctic Cat 550 EFI. Here are some suggestions for troubleshooting:

Check the fuel injectors: If the fuel injectors are clogged or dirty, it can cause issues with starting and idling. You may need to clean or replace the fuel injectors.

Check the fuel pressure regulator: If the fuel pressure regulator is not functioning properly, it can cause issues with fuel delivery to the engine. You may need to replace the fuel pressure regulator.

Check the air intake and filter: If the air intake or filter is dirty or clogged, it can cause issues with fuel delivery and combustion. You may need to clean or replace the air filter.

Check the throttle body: If the throttle body is dirty or clogged, it can cause issues with fuel delivery and combustion. You may need to clean the throttle body.

Check the ignition system: If the ignition system is faulty, it can cause issues with starting and idling. You may need to replace the spark plugs or coil.

Check the battery: If the battery is weak or not providing sufficient power, it can cause issues with starting and idling. You may need to replace the battery.

It's important to note that these are just suggestions based on the information you have provided..

Castlegarden ride on mower Mtx 150 PROBLEM with misfiring under load.

It's usually the carburetor has clogged jets due to gummed gas (esp. Ethanol). One easy thing to try is to adding Sea Foam to the gas tank and run the engine until the mix is pulled into the carb. Then leave it set for a couple of days to allow the gum to dissolve.

If you haven't changed the plugs that would also be suspect, as John said. Also a new air filter.

Arctic king window air conditioner. Purchased a 5000 btu unit. Installed it and been running several days. I see no water dripping from back of unit. Is this ok.

It is perfectly fine if the building is cooling and isn't humid. Once the A/C system saps all the moisture out of the air, it won't drip much if at all until there is more humidity. For more info on why they drip and when ... Why is my central air conditioner dripping water

Loss of power when blades engaded.

Remove deck belt from blade pulleys and Tri to spin blades by hand. If they don't spin freely, you probably need new spindle bearings but if you do need a new spindle I would replace the whole spindle housing... Just make sure the one (s) you buy has housing, spindle, bearings, nut and washer.

hello sir, mower will not start or run,runs only when primming, does it have good spark,good compression,or only runs on full choke, are you getting fuel to the engine if not try this,your fuel pump or your carb. is clogged up here is what you can do for a simple repair for the carb,you can remove the air filter and assy, empty fuel tank and clean out tank and line,remove the bowl nut and bowl careful of the gaskets,now spray carb cleaner in the small port holes in the carb steam in the middle of the carb until clean,now spray the bowl nut holes until clean there are three,after cleaning put bowl on the same way you removed it with dip towards front of float,put bow, and fresh gas,you should be good to go,hope this helps.,thank you.~~

When i turn on my shaver it just hums. no cutting sound.

Possible that the blades are clogged with hair or dirt and the motor is jammed . Use the fine brush that had come along with the shaver to clean and free the blades, Use some light oil on the blades to free any signs of dirt or rust on the blade set.
After shaving it is important to clean and keep the blades dry.
