had most of my tractors except the hay mover tucked in tight for the winter. batteries out, etc. tanks empty..
i've been pretty sick since the last week of the year, and while i'm getting over it now, I have had to do lots of catch up work and some out of town work.. In the mean time, the yard has come back to life and weeds are up, and pasture needs to be mowed soon. End of last year my battery hold down broke on my 950 and the wire to the ammeter rubbes when battery moved and caused a smoked insulation issue I finished the season with a jumper wire in place.. literally ran her out of gas on my last mowing, parking her at the shop.
So now i got my rider lawnmower, mowing tractor and weedeater to get going.
tried a test had some berrymans chemtool cleaner left over from my old gasser truck i sold. so i poured some into the lawnmower and weedeater empty tanks and turned fuel on. proceded to charge the battery int he lawnmower while i did the regular stuff, change oil and filters.. etc. weedeater takes plain gas, so i changed it's oil too.
added gas to the weedeater and lawnmower, and was surprised to see them both come to life on first bang. normally comming out of sleep they lumber a bit.
gonna try this as well with the 950. it has always started good, but seems that berrymans is a good precharge for the carb.
will post back results.
I'd say more but am loosing my voice again.
