I have had contractors working at my place for the past week. They have been thoroughly amused by all of my old equipment.

I turned on the gas, set the choke, made sure it was in neutral, etc. and proceeded to try starting. It always fires real easy but not today. Cranked it over til the 6 volt gave up.

I flipped the switch and it fired instantly but by then my pride was shot. Of all the things I have ever lost lost my mind is the thing I miss the most!!!!!
