Rustyi you've convenced me you have the magic touch! I just wish I had you as neighbor!

Thanks, RC!
And then, a fellow stopped in yesterday. sez he lost parts from his mower carb. So, having found a brand new leaf vacuum with a severely blown engine (hole in block, no oil,) I traded the carb for a brand new American flag, big enough to fit my 30 foot high flag pole!
A good trade, in my book!
And now that us old folks are needing the help with our health insurance-our esteemed bustard of an ex-governor has admitted he has spent all of the money on fripperies, and himself! And, he has probably fixed it so he can't be made to pay it back!
then, to add insult to injury--when my wife reached a certain age, our own life insurance Co. tossed her out!
This after paying into it for many years!
It is enough to make ya look longingly at the high bridges! Rusty J.
And, today, we found out that my insurance Company has been sold to another company, and guess what-----

Yah, ever since using the shutoffs and running the carbs dry and using MMO during the season, my old junkers start a lot easier in the spring. The Inty is real easy on batteries, I usually just crank it over until it starts. If it doesnt, I charge it and start looking for battery sales.
