Braved the hot Texas weather to go out and put a new tarp on the portable garage frame since some of the work I have planned will leave the interior and door inner parts exposed to the weather. Quite a reduction in heat under there.
Have a couple of things coming in over the next few days that should extend my working time in this hot weather. Found my stash of fuel line. Picked up oil, spark plugs, Seafoam and STA-BIL. Got a battery on the charger. Having to be patient due to the weather and waiting on parts, but will try to get it started here pretty quick.Life happens while you are making plans...............

Went out for a little evening tinkering. Changed the fuel filters.
Poured all the lawnmower gas in the tank, Threw the junk battery I just took off the charger on it: and cranked it over. It ran rough, but was expected!!!!
I am stoked!!!!Last edited by Achilles; 07-15-2022, 08:11 PM.Life happens while you are making plans...............

Yeah I couldn’t stand it. It was running really well before I stopped working on it. It started cooling off at about 7pm so I went out and started messing with it. I swapped out both the fuel filters. The fuel that was in the fuel lines smelled like varnish, so I let it drain out. I got lucky, the tank was pretty much empty. Dumped the lawn mower gas in it. The fuel in the filter looked super clean and had no trash in it so I went for it.Originally posted by devildog80Yours is running......a step ahead of mine right nowLife happens while you are making plans...............

Washed the exterior yesterday.
I think I found the culprit that has been killing the battery. I was checking fuses, bumped my arm into it and got a little bit of a surprise. It was hot as fire!!!!
Changed the oil filter and oil. Replaced the headlight dimmer switch which solved my intermittent light problem.
