Well, if we really hafta dive into this... Hemp and marijuana are related but so is sorghum and corn. The THC level in hemp is .005% what it is in Mary Jane. All it will give the smoker is a headache. Further, THC, the hallucigenic drug in Marijuana, is strongest in the female bud. Beings they're so closely related in species, they will pollinate each other much like rye and wheat can. When marijuana is planted in a field of hemp, they crosspollinate and greatly reduce the potency of the marijuana. Guys who grow the stuff in thier basement must eliminate male plants or risk losing thier crop. In case someone missed why I brought up hemp - more acres of hemp, less acres of corn and soy. Diversification, ain't it grand? It won't offset the cotton growers as it can be used for paper and I have not heard of cotton being used as such. Direct marketing, now thats a great idea. I engage in that myself but try getting a farmer in Kansas to sell his wheat to the locals in Kansas City or an Illinoisan to sell his corn in downtown Chicago... It's not viable for everyone but it is a solution for some. Reducing inputs is a good idea but try telling the guy with 15000 acres of corn to rotary hoe, rotary hoe, cultivate, cultivate, cultivate, cultivate. Substituting capital for labor works well...if you're in Brazil where the average guy works for 50 bucks a month. My last paycheck for two weeks labor running tractor was 1900 bucks after taxes. I'm sorry. I shouldn't be picking apart your ideas. They really are good ideas, I'm just analyzing the best way I know how. Feel free to anayze mine the same way.

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
