Good thirsty Thursday morning Jersey, Charlie, Tom, George, Steve, Tim, Ken and the rest of the crew!
Some nasty thunderstorms rolled through the area and into South Jersey last night.

That's good Tom
Charlie, I think NJ, NY and CA are the States driving up the high gas average.
I found that adding "Sta-bil" to the small engine gas helps. Even sitting over the Winter.

Evening Jersey! The gas is poor, that is true, but the quality of equipment is not what it was!

i worry about the machines with the honda single's and Kawasaki twin motors new carbs for them tends to get very pricey , or heaven help i burn up a motor from running lean, if that ever happened i would have to buy a new machine as the Kawasaki motor can run well over 2k

I had one of those DR leaf vacs in Virginia. For some reason plastic parts on the carb fell apart.
