Sounds like the carb needs to be cleaned.

Cory needs an old fashioned percolator to use on the stove for instances like this.
Howdy Dale.

That's what I'm assuming.
I did read a few different places where people boil them in a vinegar/water mixture. I don't have a pot that I'm willing to do that in at the moment.

Get some carb dip, and put it in a bucket over night. Done...

What a beautiful sunny day! It started out kinda crappy. Power failure at 0600 this morning is not a good way to start on a Monday!
Hey Cory! No power = no good!

Yep the wheels should be touching the ground to help at all! haha

Does anyone happen to have a 500 ft-lb torque wrench? I may need one.

Did that already, though i might need some new stuff. It's been frozen and thawed more than a few times over the last few years.

Hello everybody. Got some cleaning around the house done today. Gotta remember to go plug the clunker in.
