Yep... But with being decades (literally) old, plastic, rubber, non-metallic (and sometimes metallic), breaks down over time..

I can order an aftermarket Chinese knock off carb, but should the engine have other internal issues, (still doesn't run right), now I have a customer with more $ invested in a machine that still doesn't run, no engine mounts (couldn't find them on-line, Coleman machine).

What to you consider "cool Weather"?

Are your fences fell down?

[TownsendsFJR1300]

YES, cooler weather...

Noticeably cooler mornings now, mid 70'sF, still about 90 during the day (friggin hot).

November is when the weather starts getting really nice, (our season and probably 99's as well).

Snowbirds and lots of traffic, but no A/C, dry season, etc...

yea, I like to start the day off in the 50's if clearing debris off the fences and patching them back up.
plan on clearing a lot of the trees/brush along that fence line below the hill close to the creek this fall/winter, but that will be another month or 2 before it gets that cool.
Even with the dry air this week and north breeze,90deg F is still too hot to be doing manual labor for old farts

here is a pic from my aunt's back porch showing the water down below the hill. our property is across the barbed wire fence. but that fence runs down to the creek and is under water from the bottom of the hill all the way to the creek.
maybe 300 yards or more
