NWI INGO General Post - Part 7

[chef larry]

Ok, maybe "ripped him a new one" was too strong. I believe I said "So what you're saying is, I have no interest in your community; I just want to sell my stuff."

Looks like someone needs a Hug and Anger Management. Better get your snow blower fixed as the forecast said another 4-6 inches of snow or will you get another two day vacation?

 

[Snapdragon]

We'll see if I need to get my snowblower fixed. Last night I looked in the gas tank again, and there was actually just a small puddle of gas. Maybe I emptied it and ran it out after all. I brought it into the laundry room to warm up, and put fresh gas and oil in it. Now that it's warm and has fresh gas through the pipes, I'm going to try taking it out and starting it again. Cross your fingers.

Not sure if I'll get another day of vacation or not. Next week is registration week, so no classes yet. They may be more likely to close the school if there are no classes.

What, you don't have electric start and if there is a gas valve, is it open?

Morning folks. After the mice moved into my car I put some poison out and now I smell mouse death. Looks like I have some searching to do this morning before hitting the gym for a swim.

A customer just told me obama ordered mental health checks for gun purchases. Did this just happen? Did I miss something?

Electric start. Choke was open, primer was primed. Tried it with both pull start and electric start. I'm thinking that it may not be getting any spark? When I push the electric start button, it just whines. When I pull the starter, it sounds like it's going to turn over but it doesn't.

Yep, I will post the link if you promise not to bring politics into our happy little NW INGO home.

Are you being serious or just commenting on the ignorance of people?

If you're being serious the customer was probably referring to this.

Choke should be closed when cold. If you have access to starting fluid, you could give it a very small shot into the air cleaner. If it fires up, let it run for a bit, gradually opening the choke.

 

[Snapdragon]

It wasn't cold. I had let it warm up in the house all night. But I'll go try it with the choke closed. Can't hurt.

I meant the engine wasn't warmed up from running.

 

[Snapdragon]

Woohoo! Got it started. I let it run for a few minutes to let the fresh gas run through it. We're GTG.

Thanks baddyna, the choke thing did it. I've always started it with the choke open and then closed it once it got going.

haha! Didn't it smoke quite a bit that way? Now, when you are using it and have to shut it off for some reason, you can leave the choke open to restart. If the engine cools down, you'll have to use the choke again. Glad to help!

Hey Baddy, was it your 44 mag that I shot at the Meet n Shoot? It gets confusing matching up faces/screen names/real names.

so he basically executive ordered suggestions, no actual change.

 

[actaeon277]

Yeah, I ripped him a new one about that, and then I deleted it. Actaeon saw it. That's why he told the guy to grow thick skin-- because of meanies like me.

I just copied my same intro that I've used for the last 4 people.
So no, I did not modify it because of Snapdragon.
Sometimes people, especially new people, forget that there are differing opinions, and get bent out of shape.
I just like to inoculate them.

Now all you need is the snow.

 

[melensdad]

Now all you need is the snow.

May come tonight. I'm right on the state line where Kankakee Co. IL, Will Co. IL, and Lake Co. IN meet. Kankakee county is supposed to get 6 to 10 inches of snow tonight.

I just mounted the snowblower on the back of my tractor. 6' wide and almost 6' tall to the top of the shoot. It gets the job done a lot quicker than a blade when the snow gets deep. Blades work pretty well until the snow rolls over the top of the blade. The big 2-stage blower gets rid of the snow fast and you don't end up with mounds of snow along the edges.
