also its honor based, so apart from say Richmond where there are city bylaw mandated gas attendants that pump your gas “old job saving bylaw btw” its up to the driver to “stop” at 30L
My work vehicle though, im considered essential so i can fully fill up.
I can not get mine to start. Never had to touch it before so will have to learn its ins and outs. Wish I knew where my spark plug socket is. We got a good dump before which I shoveled but my back did not like it.
Usually it’s the fuel diffuser in the carb, if you are mechanically minded. It’s the tube the main jet screws into in the bowl. It gets its micro holes blocked and then starts to idle eratically, eventually not starting.
Last year I cleaned the carb out, cleaned the exhaust baffle as that can affect the choke efficiency, and adjusted all the belts and cables so it now goes in reverse again, we’ll it did last year, I am hoping the gremlins haven’t got back in it this year.
The spark plug is the easiest and best place to start though, you might get lucky
Mine has as well, take pictures if you are going to pull it apart.
It’s about 4 screw bolts holding the plastic on mine once that’s gone, it’s just disconnecting the fuel line, don’t forget to clamp it with some vice grips, if there is still fuel in the tank, then it’s just 2 bolts holding the carb to the manifold. I can have mine apart in 10 minutes now, takes longer to find the right sockets in my toolbox
I most hated the first snow (40Km commute).
It is always felt like Napoleon’s retreat from Moscow…
3+ Hrs… …and ‘pity the fool’ that didn’t have a full tank…
yeah, i’m being lazy, no doubt, but i’d just like to bestow a grow-light on someone with a wave of my plastic wand & not have to go to the post office & do a customs declaration & all that(heavy lifting ).
I used to work out of town for a spell and I never got used to driving out in the winter. So much better now retired and looking out the window thinking, “I think I will stay in today.”
