i hear colors running through my mind...Got a hold of some of the good stuff.
Gonna have to step up my coffee game at home.
Synesthesia is a hell of a drug...
Supposed to hit 90° or thereabouts today. Water sealing the playhouse swingset, then ride then pool.
Anyone ever troubleshoot a small engine pressure washer? Engine only runs with the choke open. Doesn't rev up to create any pressure. Starts burning a little bit of oil too. Tried carb cleaner with no success. My Google Fu is currently failing me.
Check the spark plug for gunk and gap.
Is it burning oil or just running rich because of the choke? If it is burning oil you might have compromised compression whuch likely means das ist kaput.
Make sure the carb float needle isn't gummed up.
A lot of engines have governors that control the throttle based on air flow from the cooling fan. If a spring is stretched, linkage bent they are near impossible to get back to normal, but it could be something simple like debris jamming up the works.
Also if you left gas in it over a long period it could have absorbed water and gone to shit. Give it some fresh go-go juice.
Damn dude, condolences
Americans drink shit coffee I discovered while traveling in Asia.
Also, seriously hard rain between Bozo and Billings this AM. I hope it clears out over the week so on my return trip I can ride the bikes!

Clean the muffler/spark arrestor as well as what westy said. Check your spark plug wire and connector for corrosion. May as well check air cleaner while your at it.
Happy Father’s Day to the fathers out there. Your all mother fuckers.

Holy balls. Rode some, but got drained by the heat even while chugging water.
It's so humid here even the rocks are sweating.
Not sure what's going on here, but someone raked a new trail and went right around the ROX with some enderpo turns. The fack bro??

Thanks for the recon, I have to be home by noon on the 25th. Bummer. I will keep tabs on the weather and see what happens.
Just over 8 hours outside in 90° heat, but it's basically done. Cooked from all the working. No biking, no pool. But heady topper and some fine cheeses.

That sucks man, sorry to hear.
If you didn't run it dry before storing it, probably going to need a new carburetor. Happens to my Dad's every couple years and I end up taking it to a local shop for him.
Woah, where have you been ?
Planted my flag on the hill I'm dying on. Wifey has been pushing me about getting the Infiniti into the garage, which is not realistic if I'm going to have a garage and have the M in it. The cement footprint is the same width but walls are 18" narrower and the depth is 2' less than our last house, and the door into the house is not centered. One of my big requirements for moving was to have a 3-car garage, which I did not get; I did get a smaller garage and a storage until that fits the yard and garden related items (of which I already had one).
I made it clear that if we want to fit two cars in, everything has to come off the ground and I lose my garage - which has always been a mandatory. She will have to park up against the wall on the shallow side of the garage which is only 10" longer than her car, or back into the other side - which isn't happening. I also made it clear that I will not be able to get my tools or anything else without moving her car, so she will either need to move her car every time I need to get access to tools or add whatever is broken to the honey-do list. That list is way too long and priority items are such that if I don't do small things as they come up, they do not get done. Plus if she pulls in too far and takes out the support beam for the shelves on that side, 300# of chems and storage are coming down on her hood.
I'm going to have to build a ton of off ground shelves and rafter supported storage to even make this work, let alone giving up any semblance of a workbench to get two cars in. Easy access to my tools and regular usage items will be a non-starter as well. Honestly, once I figure out my cost on this and have numbers to give to her, I might just tell her no. You get a gorgeous deck and view like you wanted, but you lose your parking spot.

Three goddamn fucking days on this fucking fork.
Aaaaaaggggggghhhhhh!!!!!

Let me translate: She’s telling you to sell the ///M, not build a bunch of shelves.
Oh I know and I don't give a flying fuck. I'm not selling the M and I've told her that multiple times. Told her that if I sell it I'm just going to what to buy a new one, so what the hell is the point? If I sell the M, I sell the Subaru and buy a Polestar which is more expensive than both combined and we're back to the same place. Her car is worth the same amount as the M and dropping quickly, the M is actively going up.
have you considered the fact that maybe you have too much shit?
