I started a new job last January with a company that had two plants, that company sold both plants to one of our competitors in June. In late July our new owners announced they would be taking our plant down for Renovations in August with production resuming in November, they also announced they would be closing our sister plant for good in the last quarter of the year and moving their equipment (and production) to our plant. On the bright side they also announced they would pay the companies' share of health and dental insurance for any employee through the layoff and that any current employee (August) that was still employed by the company on December 13 would receive a $1,000 dollar bonus. This week I heard a lot of weeping and gnashing of teeth over the $350 dollars Uncle sam and the governor took from their bonus, I asked they remember this next election when they vote. I am in maintenance and they kept our department pretty much fully staffed during the shut down, one guy went to 1/2 time and our lead took a voluntary layoff for the month of September. The last week all the MRO supplies from our sister plant started showing up on my doorstep. Makes me wonder- we're now getting a lot of stuff from our sister plant we were told we couldn't have (by the former owners),our plant was always kinda treated like the red headed step child, we couldn't have squat and everything we did was not good enough if not entirely wrong. Our new owners are the largest in our business (egg products) and after about 30 days of ownership they decided we were the ones with a future, not our sister who was the corporate favorites of the last owners. Maybe if our former corporate office was able to make rational and objective observations they'd be around for this Christmas.

I pulled the head, and soaked the stuck valves with mystery oil overnight, re-installed the head, and bingo, the compression returned. But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
