Don't feel too bad - that behavior seems to be getting more common all the time.
I live on top of very steep, dirt, mountain road that is sheer ice most of the winter - if not deep in wind-blown snowdrifts. Town does not salt my end because it's dirt.
Most rational people don't drive on in the winter. My wife and I have too, since we live here. But, I always keep one 4WD truck handy with chains on all four wheels - for when things get real bad.
Last year, a new distant neighbor from the city - came flying down the hill in her new SUV, skid sideways and went into the woods across from my house. I pulled her out, and then warned her that she'd be better off not driving on this section of the road in winter since it gets so bad. Where she lives, she has the option of taking a fully maintained town road that is sanded and salted, etc.
Well, that night her husband called me. Not to thank me for pulling her out, more to tell me off about "how dare I tell his wife not to use the road." I then told them that the next time his wife landed in my woods, I would not pull her out again. Then?? He said if his wife ever goes off the road, and I refuse to help, he's going to sue me. Later, he called the town's highway supervisor and threatened to sue the town if they don't improve the road on my end, provide school bus service, etc.
I think I need to move one more time in my life and try to escape this kind of nonsense. Problem is, I'm not sure if there is anywhere left to go.

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
