Stop in for a cup of coffee

F'k it. The leaves can rot.
I am done fighting with the riding mower this year. And maybe forever if I can afford a new one in the Spring. I put the bowl back on carb and it did not leak. Yay!, right? Then I try to start it. A little gas in carb. Fires up for a second, did that a couple times. Battery died. Not a big surprise. I know it is on borrowed time. Put charger on boost start. Try again and starter won't pull in. Let it charge a little and starter goes in and won't shut off. Tap stuck relay and it lets go, but battery is dead again. More charging, starts and runs a minute and shuts off. :mad:Figure out I ran the tank empty. :BangHead: Put some gas in start, run. good for a few minutes. :thumbsup: Back up, drive 50ft. Dies. Try to restart and belches smoke. Think carb stuck and flooded it. :mob: Chained it to wifemobile and she drug it while I steered back to the driveway. Pushed in garage and disconnected battery. Done.
