Re: Got the cabin open this weekend

Looks like a great place to be Jason, in the first picture is that a big log in the back ground and is that a road by it that leads to the cabin ? If that`s a road could be a old RR grade ? :) Hey Lenn, There were railroads running through there. Most of the cars were pulled by oxen at the time. He...

Re: Shoulda Consulted the Weather

Sometimes if it`s a float carb the float needle will stick closed and it won`t get any fuel, try tapping on the float bowl lightly and it might free up and run.

Removed all the friction parts and run the wire only on the upper tensioner which works great, made a few more brooms that turned out great.
