Good morning!!!!

but many HOAs seem particularly finicky about seemingly trivial things.

I don’t understand people’s response to known rules when they buy.

Do you have a specific trivial thing in mind that you would not like or just everything in general about ownership. Seems the solution would be to not move into a HOA neighborhood and never complain about your neighbors not to move into a HOA neighborhood and violate the rules you said you would abide by when you were at closing.

Sounds like it might be time to shop for a new mower mechanic, rip. Just make sure the new guy doesn't claim to be into VW restorations.

SMILE. Yeah, this dealership just lost future sales. I have a sticking point when people say they will call you right back and never do. Or deliver something and not show up or call.

Well all mower is coming back with no problem found. Dealer is apologetic and perplexed. So I will have to query you all on this stalling issue under load that only full choke resolves if it appears again. Keep your fingers crossed for me. I already mentioned trade in to them. Just cannot have it die out on me. The walk back to the house is a killer. Lol.

Next time it happens, try seeing if it will run after you remove the fuel tank cap. If it does, the vent to the tank is blocked. It could be in the cap, or it might be a separate assembly.

Also ask the dealer if they've contacted Kubota about the problem. Chances are you're not the only one having it and Kubota may already have a fix available. Also try several google searches, including the make and model of the mower and key words like "stall", "load", "choke", etc. If other owners are having the problem and getting the run around like you are, it'll be all over the Internet.

Why? Did you not know the rules or did they change them? I don’t understand why anyone would complain if the rules are made available before buying. The neighborhood looks good enough to make you want to buy there for a reason and it’s not because everyone has inherently good taste and is very neat.

Just think of TBN letting Fp run wild through all the forums, people need guidelines and rules.

Dont like the concept, live and learn, been there, done that. I bought the property, i didnt need some HOA inspector **** telling me when i should paint my front door, mow my grass, what shrubs i can plant, etc..

Selective enforcement, nitpicky.

After living there i moved to a nice country development, nice houses, no HOA, and all was well. One house in maybe 100 was a little messy.

Was having that problem with my rider mower, kept shutting down. Loosen the gas cap, and its working great. Gas Tank was under pressure.

The low this morning was 44°, the yesterday was in the mid 70's. They are saying a chance of showers this afternoon with a high a high around 80°. The weather looks good for weekend. Probably have a lot of people up here for the holiday.

It looks like the hummingbird are going south, the feeders are lasting about a day.

Not sure what the day will bring. I do have a few little things I would like to get done.

Hope everyone has a good start to the long weekend.

CWB.

Randy and Ron take care of your selfs. Ron get some help with that Island. Randy I had to look that up - what is the treatment?

.

I have been working on a way to get countertop into kitchen using tractor and pallet forks. if something does not fit thru door in a RV you remove a window. That plan did not workout when SWMBO said no. I got help coming when it's time to set countertop in place on cabinets.

Many stories about HOA's that have gone down the tube when associations get taken over by groups that make their own rules. My sister bought into one in AZ like that. Looking at Del Webb communities they may have setup rules that avoid these types of groups.

I'm another one who will not buy anywhere that there's a HOA. We looked at 2 NEW houses we liked and would have bought either one if it hadn't been for the HOA. So instead, we bought this older house where there is NO HOA. I don't blame anyone else who wants to buy into a HOA, but it's not for me. You can read all the rules and agree with them, but the rulers are elected and may change the rules later. I figure we have enough laws on the books to need another level.

Agree 100%
Government politics (especially at the local level) are bad enough...HOA's can be a real PITA and much more of an "Old Boy (or Girl)" situation...
