Dave: You make a good point. We had a gas station operator in my home town, we called him Boss Hogg. I learned about Boss flirting with both political parties, and relayed the info to a local newspaper friend. The newspaper guy wrote it up as though political fences out in the country were barbed wire, thus jumping the same, old Boss might encounter some serious under damage. For about three weeks, suspecting I had been the culpert, Boss hardly spoke to me, and if he did it was usually a lobored grunt. One day I went into his gas station, and another customer was giving him a hard time over the newspaper article. I stepped up to make a purchase, he grunted as I expected. Finally I said, "what in H@!! has you in such a bad mood? Sure I'm the culpert, but look at all the business this has generated for you, folks have stopped by, made a purchase, just to give you a hard time. Take that chap that just left, I bet he hasn't darkened your door in 2 years." A grin came over his face, then, "hehehehe. your right, my sales are actually up the past 3 weeks". Nothing like free publicity, money will not buy the equal.

To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
