Got it all together today - went to light a fire in it and the fuel tank was empty - not only empty but has been for some time and ya all know what that means - must have been letting it sit with barely any fuel in it because the fuel filter in line...

    the first indicator was the pads on the pressure plate - OR what should be there - they are totally gone as well as the throw out bearing toasted. Pulled the flywheel this morning and it looks like one of them metal silhouette fire arms targets that you hear go PING from a couple hundred yards...

    DH - I have lots more names I am called and I really do answer to all of them - I am willing to share but I do not sell anything of such great earned value to me.

    Reprecussions of Mistreatment

    Got fuel in it - battery charged and posts tightened down after cleaning. Checked fluids and fired it up to see what he was hearing. All I hear is a high pitch gear sound - just like a bendix still engaged and spinning with the flywheel. Shut it down and proceeded to pull the Gen and starter out...

    Reprecussions of Mistreatment
