Well, today, I take a much needed day off of work, so I go through my to-do list:
1. Take son to school
2. Get granny's medicine
3. Change blades on mower deck
4. Cut the grass
5. Ride if I can
I take a look outside and the sun is shining, so instantly #5 is bumped to the top. So, I shine ol' girl up, get it off the jack, and crank her up. She bitches and moans for a good 5 minutes, sputtering and popping, so I find a spot that seems to keep it running and hold it there for a few seconds and it finally clears up (as if the rear bank finally starts to fire). I promised to pay more attention to her in the future, and off we rode. 103 miles later, she seems to be running just fine. I'm assuming she sat a little too long, and just needed to clear her throat. What say ye gods of carburetion??
