Talk about busy, yesterday I had to go to town, I was about out of beer, so while I was there I bought a few things for my wife, a new chain for her chainsaw and a new splitting axe, kind of expensive, but she is worth it & winter is not far away. Well I'm stocked up on beer & put $20 worth of gas in the old F150, I need a rest.

I don't let my wife cut wood. If I let her fool around doing stuff like that she wouldn't be able to work enough hours to keep me in beer money. Besides- she still needs to finish roofing the house.

Was just putting off going to bed.... :P

Now I'm waiting for $20 to drop out of the sky so I can buy some carb bath and soak my soon-to-be-rebuilt carb to clean it up. Once that's done I can rebuild it.

If it's any indication, last night I had a dream that I started my truck and it ran nice and strong.....

I went through the same thing about a week ago in the Performance and General Engine Building section. I just decided to have some fun with it. No one else will admit it, but with 1,262 views, somebody else must have found it entertaining as well.

lol, my carb was soaking my spark plugs in it!

One time I used a parts cleaner (basically a shop-type sink) with a mix of gasoline and diesel fuel in it. Worked a charm!
