    Default There I was part 2


    So after my last one I though I had the lawnmower under control well I didn't. I thought I did but while testing it out that fuel leak got worse AND it caught on fire Go t it put out and spent the next week figuring out who to take it to since Melissa wasn't happy with me. I decided I wasn't going to waste money having someone else charge me. So I ordered a new carb with new style solenoid and a new muffler. Got em put on, primed the system, used some starter fluid and let her run for a good 30 minutes to burn in the muffler and verify no leaks. Now the only thing I have to do if fix the governor control. I think it's missing a spring because at idle the governor arm and carb butterfly moves too much--no steady idle. Well see but I'm going to kit it's butt!!!

    Y'all have no idea, wait 'til you hit 70. So far this week I've dropped my phone it the toilet and left the TV remote in a glass of water over night!!!

    I now have a Ziplock bag of rice on standby in the pantry.
