I tend to push myself too, I got the mower engine swap done, cleaned the carburetor before ever trying to start it, started on the first pull.
The older I get the better everything starts... My mower starts halfway through the 2nd pull... I modified the Air filter for the cheap one to fit because they changed it for the one I have... It's got a fuel filter it didn't come with... Because I'm a mile high the EPA lean carb is just right... If I was at sea level it would need a size or 2 bigger... When I read about jets people use it's -2 handicap unless there in the mountains... Just to ball park it and too rich never hurt anything...I tend to push myself too, I got the mower engine swap done, cleaned the carburetor before ever trying to start it, started on the first pull.
You're holding out.. Lol. I'm finding the hard to find parts in England or Australia lately... Italy France and Germany for some stuff... When you see something go out of stock you've been watching for a while... I got it.. not because I need it or will do anything with it just so nobody else can have it...Mossy I know where to get that hard to find part now, you’ve probably got it.
Mighty selfish you are………..CurtYou're holding out.. Lol. I'm finding the hard to find parts in England or Australia lately... Italy France and Germany for some stuff...

I drove yesterday for the first time, other than moving cars around on our property. I continue to do the leg exercises daily and it has helped a lot. Moving from accelerator to brake is no problem, I’ll drive to therapy tomorrow so my wife can do things she has to, relying on someone else to take me places is a burden on them. We are already helping her parents with a lot of everyday things.
I remember back in the 70’s I took my dirt bike out and was hill climbing and trail riding. Coming down a steep hill the rear wheel locked up and the bike slid sideways, catching my left leg under it all the way down the hill. I had burns all the way up the inside of my leg from the exhaust, but the worst was I broke my leg just above the ankle. Being alone I somehow managed to get the bike back to my trailer, laid it down and tied it in place then had to drive out of the place on winding, up and down dirt roads with a broken leg and a 4 speed stick shift !! Most pain I ever was in ! Spent the next 2 months in a cast and crutches, still don’t know how I managed to run that clutch.Good to here, my wife don't drive so it was left foot braking and right foot gas. 2011 I don't remember, much, but think my son took me for the first few visits. ........Curt
I’m here. I’m in my 30s. My generation is pretty retarded; they need an app for everything whether that is dating and meeting people to do things with, socializing with these strange forms of communication we call Reels which are the video forms of soundbytes. I find myself calling my friends more than they call me. They mostly text. Although my smartphone is extremely useful (typing this reply on it) I’ve been longing for the mid 2000s when everybody used flip phones and actually talked to one another.I’m starting to see a pattern here. We’re all getting old and breaking down. Where are the young guys on this forum ??
What’s that saying ? Growing old is inevitable, growing up is voluntary?
The problem with the younger generation is some lack a father figure to teach them, I came from a divorced family and luckily found some direction from my friends dad. While most of the other 13-14 year old kids were playing my friend and I were working in a VW shop. I did my best to pass along to my son what he needs to know for every day life, I have tried to teach by example, the best way to teach.I’m here. I’m in my 30s.

I have learned practically everything from old guys. I’ve read this whole forum from the beginning, well maybe not all of it but I’ve read search results from 15 years ago. My generation (millennials) thinks they have it all figured out. But they’re some of the dumbest people ever. With mine and the young generation doing all the rioting in our cities, I’m very worried for the future of this country.
I hope I have the privilege of getting old and finding out. Greg I’ve been reading and praying for you to have a speedy recovery.
It’s true. The communists have destroyed the family unit and made single motherhood profitable, slowly but surely replacing God with government.The problem with the younger generation is some lack a father figure to teach them, I came from a divorced family and luckily found some direction from my friends dad.
