Well The pond had another deposit added to it. Years ago my wife bugged me to buy her a weed eater. Now I knew this wasn't going to get used much by her but I went ahead and bought her a nice Stihl weed eater. Just like I figured, she never used it. I bet it had maybe 5 hours on it. But Thursday she tells me she is going to help me weed eat as I really can't do it all by myself anymore since the heart attack. So I take it out of the shed, it was looking still brand new. Gased it up and tried to start it. it would run for a split second and die. After this went on for just a few minutes until I dumped the gas out, washed the tank out, walked to the pond, and launched that SOB! Problem solved.
