Wow GPL. I feel sorry for all of the southerns for having to put up with our weather down there. Its business as usual for us up north. We design and plan for at least -35F. Our water pipes are buried at least 6 feet deep. Anything shallower than that has some kind of heat to keep them from freezing. Our home/shop heating systems/insulation values are also designed for that temperature. If you are a planner, we also have a backup heating system and electric generator in place. That said, I know how disastrous it can be when a lot of things are not designed for a once in a century cold spell like this. It is sometimes tempting to add water only to a low radiator in the summer time but I have found we are way ahead (time & money) to take the time to add 50/50 antifreeze tested to -35F. This is especially true as I get more o;Dre & more forgetful. Up north we find it is a good time to light the fireplace, Jane a bottle of wine & listen to Patsy Klein and see if we can find a way to keep warm.

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
