I winter-prep snow throwers for customers. This one I worked on today would not start. I figured it's because it had ethanol in it since last winter. I sprayed a liberal amount of carb cleaner into the primer and pulled the starter a tiring number of times and then I let it set for a couple of hours.

After that I pulled the starter one billion times and then it finally sputtered to life. Being a genius I sprayed more carb cleaner in until it stalled figuring it would clean it out better. When I pulled the starter this time it started and smoked like crazy. The wind changed and I got a nice lung full of chemical flavored smoke. It burned but it sure cleared up that cough I've been fighting. Eek

Have you farted yet? That'll really be interesting... Big Grin


If people would mind their own damn business this country would be better off. I owe no one an explanation or an apology for my personal opinion.

I dunno. Maybe there's a positive side effect...

As kids, we used to love the smell of WD40. We'd inhale it any time it was used and all of us are still alive and well. Well...most of us anyway. Wink

I recommend the ether based starting fluids for huffing.
