The wife goes out to her slightly modified Fergy TO-20. I am on the other side of the house and can only faintly her what is going on... Crank, crank, crank.... Vroom! chug, chug, chug, spu-u-u-tter, ugh.
Pull the plugs. Yep! Wet and black. Where is my propane torch?? here is the striker, nearly worn out flint. here is the nozzle. Wrong nozzle, it"s busted.
