Good morning!!!!

[LouNY]

sounds like you're in the same boat, or rider as me. I have looked up replacement carbs and see similar results as you.



besides replacing all my fuel line, I vacuum tested the tank's fuel pickup tube and 90 degree adapter. It tested fine. I've replaced it a few years ago, so it's only about 3 years old. (They are known problems). I also loosen the fuel tank cap to let it breath, making sure of no vacuum.

79F and overcast @ 15:00, severe weather warning with possibility of tornados back over towards western OH and IN, but no rain here so far.

Chance of rain for tomorrow downgraded to 50% from 80% ... :thumbsup:

Been out for several hours, remainder of grass has been incorporated into the compost pile. Pile is probably approaching being half turned at this point.

Have started adding to the burn pile now that what was there has been burnt off.

With warm, dry weather on the horizon, probably time to start thinking about sharpening the mower blades ...

68°F and .11 inches rain.

Continue on with yesterday’s effort. Some years ago I threw together a work bench from on hand scraps of 2x4 and plywood. Scraps in the since they were saved from a previous life and reused. Yesterday I cleaned it up and added a coat of paint, paint so old I still can’t remember it’s initial use but enough left for this. Looked good wet.

Told wife I’d do my version of shrimp scampi with egg noodles today.

Keep hoping to open GM and be treated with a nice long missive from Drew. Prayers for you.

Forgot to tell RNG nice video on BH removal. Wish I moved that fast.

I sure appreciate all the bird and wildlife pics you guys post.

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day

shrimp scampi sounds delicious. (Me too on Drew).

I had same problem with weeds growing under the new, thinner fabrics. Last year I switched from Costco landscape fabric to this pvc fabric

This works much better, but wind still blows it.

Thanks BEF, hope it works out for you. Maybe I'll consider it next year. I would need 2 rolls.

Thanks Lou,

Carburetor update. I took it off and it was fairly clean, no obvious cloggs, no smelly bad gas, no water...but what I did find on the single throat Mikuni's bowl is the dreaded 12v solenoid shut off. My land is flat. It's actuation was a bit sticky. It would sometimes not retract when 12v applied unless I flicked it. I disabled it(cut off the tip) and now it seems to run good, but I'm still noticing air bubbles coming into my fuel filter. I finished the yard.

BEF, thanks for fabric link. I’m looking also.

Got the deer fence up around the garden, so chilling on the porch. Overcast sky, 68° slight breeze. Light rain this morning, but garden dirt is dry.

Streaming Worship went well this morning, normally would be at evening worship now, but only having 1 a week for now.

A nap developed after lunch, wife made chicken corn chowder.

My sister finally declared Covid recovered. Their county now has over 50 cases, at least one nursing home got it, starting to get deaths from that already.
FIL not improving, still in hospital.

Need to order more groceries soon, been a couple weeks or more.

Tried my new pole saw...not too successfully, I'm afraid. Pinched the chain in my first cut and pulled it (the chain) off the bar. I did get the limb cut though and ran it through the chipper.

I'll use the pole saw again today... didn't think I was, I probably tried to push the saw into the cut rather then letting the saw do the work.

What I found was the chain was installed backwards...so, no cutting no matter how much pressure. Not sure how I managed to get through the one limb...
The saw came assembled, chain installed....I didn't look to see if it was correctly installed...my fault...and when re-installing the chain, I made the same mistake initially. Once correctly installed, the pole saw ran and cut fine. I dropped about half dozen branches and chipped them all...
Good day, altogether...
I'll be doing more de-limbing next weekend, weather permitting

I have a BH. But it has been sitting in barn for over 4 years.
Chipper does get used. Landscape rake is another one that has sat for years.

I have used the York rake 3-4 times in 5 years, but it is handy when you need it. I love playing with a backhoe, but honestly it doesn’t justify the price for me.

Got my trailer full of pavers, polymeric sand, 4x4, fabric and spikes, load of sand and Texas white stone coming Wednesday. This all started with Ellen wanting to make a planter from an old wagon wheel, and spiraled out of control. Seat time and knee time coming up. I’ll post before, during and after pictures.

I hope we hear good news from Drew.

I did my time on a 10 speed too, Schwinn Continental that I bought with grass cutting money.

Haven’t seen my mom in two months now, not sure how many she has left.
At least they have been virus free so far.

Everyone have a good night and stay safe. God bless.

My engine is a Kawasaki V twin with 2 coils. I was told it will run on 1 cylinder if one of the coils dies. When it starts dying, I can pull out the manual choke, and it will keep running a bit longer while it depletes the fuel in the bowl.

I'm going to go pull the carb off....

Mine is a Kohler 26hp twin. It does not die, basically starts loping .... wants to die, but then surges up like it was under load, then repeats. If I pull the choke ever so little, it will run, but slightly rough. The latest new thing it is doing is after the previous loping, if I continue to use it, after it is hot, there is no throttle control. If you pull it to idle, it just stays at high rpm. If you shut it down with the key, give it 20-30 seconds, it will restart and the throttle will work again. Weird since it is cable controlled.

Have you looked at the governor?
