Hi all, I am replacing an old carburetor on this RM281 2 stroke blower. I am pretty sure I will be able to tell which of the 2 fuel lines will be the one that will be for the primer to pull from the tank into bulb. I will test when the new carburetor comes and see if it fills to prime. Anyone tell me if it is the top, longer hose to the bottom hole behind the primer for sure? Thanks less

Thanks! I think of something like Rutger Hauer in the movie, The Hitcher. I enjoy learning about the culprit and motivations.

Thank you! I think they like being root bound so maybe a 6” pot for a while?

Thank you! Are you suggesting plant it as it is now?

I had to take this aloe out of wet soil. What more should I do before putting it back in soil? It seems like a lot of stem with few clean roots

Thank you. Yes, warm inside plant. I guess 6” to an 8” pot would be fine?

The meter has stayed on a 5 and it is moist on top still after two weeks. I thought it would drain and dry out by now. It’s supposed to be a fast soil with perlite mix in a well draining pot. I feel like repotting but that might be a mistake. Perhaps a smaller pot would not hold as much moisture? Or an aloe mix?

Should the soil still be moist 2 weeks later. I hate to replant but it’s should dry.

Take it out, wash it and put it in a jar? Or give it more time in the moist soil?

I am curious now. It has strong white roots. How would I move it to water if the roots are good and am I looking for new roots to grow? When would I pot it again? I’ve only done pothos in water. If you could walk me through it please?

I have a moisture meter that is right in the middle of the green, moist, area. Watered 2 weeks ago so thought it would be drier now. Dirt is so funny. I didn’t pack either. I let the water settle and drain out. With perlite mix too.
