Hugh MacKay said: (quoted from post at 02:41:32 02/05/08) Dave: In addition to what Hal has said, think about the possibility of ice in the carb. My 130 has done this 3 or 4 times this winter. Had the carb off twice couldn't find anything wrong. It's not coil as it fires right up within seconds. Acts as though fuel supply is restricted. I also notice I'm getting a slow buildup of water in the sediment bowl. Finally I dumped in 1/4 cup of methyl hydrate, cured it almost instantly. It's happened twice since and each time methyl hydrate cured it very quickly. Somewhere, I'm getting water, we are having a lot of fluctuation in temperatures, above and below freezing, I'm thinking condensation is my problem.
May be since oil hit $100./ barrel earlier my refinery has increased the volume of water in the gas to make more money.
Heard a story years ago, farmer trying to squeak through some hard times, tried mixing sawdust with his horse feed. He said it worked well at low percentages of sawdust, but once he got to 40% the horse died. I'm thinking I've got .01% water, I guess an offset Farmall, just a bit more sensitive than the horse, however the Farmall will come back to life, if one corrects it's feed.

Thanks Hal and Hugh, I'll do it. Getting a good storm right now and will need it tomorrow. What is methyl hydrate? I've always used HEET brand or STABIL as a gas dryer, same stuff? Yeah, we had a couple of nice days after a 2 week freeze, then freeze, then warm. I bet I have the same problem. Also, I ordered my free gas cap, hope it arrives soon. Thanks again guys.

Today's Featured Article - Choosin, Mounting and Using a Bush Hog Type Mower - by Francis Robinson. Looking around at my new neighbors, most of whom are city raised and have recently acquired their first mini-farms of five to fifteen acres and also from reading questions ask at various discussion sites on the web it is frighteningly apparent that a great many guys (and a few gals) are learning by trial and error and mostly error how to use a very dangerous piece of farm equipment. It is also very apparent that these folks are getting a lot of very poor and often very dangerous advice fro
