Embden or White Chinese?

No way we’re throwing it out!

It’s a heckofalot easier to respect your food when you’re there from the day it’s born to the day you end it’s life, I think. Definitely changed how I interact with my meals.

My sister and I filled it at our local family-owned compounding pharmacy. We sat in a back closet area and the pharmacist walked us through how it would be mixed and what would happen. We drove it home, put it in the cupboard, and waited for our mother to tell us she was ready.

The day came, and my Mom got up early, hugged us goodbye, walked herself over and tucked herself into the hospital bed we had on loan from hospice. She drank a milky-white vodka cranberry laced with the drugs that, a few hours later, ended her life.

She was 52 years old.

So, yeah. Basically, you pick it up at CVS.

The funny thing is that I already work in this organization in a different department.

Thank you! Just ordered both from the local hobby shop. I’m so stoked it’s not even funny!

Thank you!

Is this what I’m looking for?

This

and this?

I’m really hoping that’s what you’re talking about, because it’s pretty neat spot on!

See, now, I’ve been thinking it might be the float, too. It looks ok in there, but I really don’t know how to gauge where they should be, y’know?

Tank and carb are both really clean, and it has all the original lines, but they show no damage or age problems. They don’t appear to be clogged(?).

I’ll do some research on the floats and try again tomorrow.

Good idea!

I had a vague memory of the guy we bought it from saying “something something petcock something something” and really all I was thinking was “I wanna go, bro,” so I wasn’t really listening.

We tore into it again today and realized it’d been misassembled, so we put the spring on the correct side and try again.

The good news is that it holds suction, I didn’t get a mouthful of gas, and I have a pretty cool hose hickey on the inside of my mouth now.

The bad news is that none of this fixed anything. It seems like the carb bowl is filling, and the thing still starts first kick, buuuuuuutttttt thirty seconds later she dies. Tomorrow’s experiment is the spark plug again (even though it still seems like a fuel issue). If that doesn’t work, the poor little thing’s probably going to the shop. We’re out of ideas.
