got home, hugged the wife, scratched the dog, kicked the cats, and then went to check out the new old saw!
it looks darn good!
it was just sort-of laying there looking forlorn with an empty tank of gas..
so I put a half tank in it and set the choke and started pulling. Just like my old Jonny's it takes a short, hard pull. I pulled and pulled...well, not too bad, maybe 10 times or 15 or so. Then I pulled another 10 times with the choke off. Hmmmm.
"Well then", I said to my self, "what the heck?" Then my smarter self says "hey dummy, how about turning that little red switch "on". One pull with choke and 2 pulls without and she's purring like a fricken sabre tooth tiger. Braap, braap, braap. Decent!
Unloaded the quad and some other stuff and did a few other little things (like give the dog another scratch or two, and give the cats another few kicks for good measure) and then about 15-20 minutes after the first start I picked it up again, put the little red switch in the right position, gave it a pull and braap, braap.
Cool!
I wont have time to use it for a bit...unless it is looking forlorn again, just laying there...
