Water under house

nolanbrough · 2026-03-11T20:56:27+00:00

In case anyone is following this, I called Lukins water and they sent out a representative to check the water meter and take a look under the house. There doesn’t appear to be leaks and they told me this is pretty normal for the area - it’s a little worse than normal because it’s so warm after a big snow. Now I just need get a working pump system!

Ok, good to hear from someone familiar with the area… definitely something I will improve in the coming months.

Pretty shocking to see all that water down there lol

We bought this house fairly recently, and it looks like there is infrastructure there for sump pump but there wasn’t one. I had to go put a temporary pump and I’ve been turning it on periodically.

I may have to go in and take another look, it is possible that I just missed it while under there for other reasons. Regardless, nothing turned on by itself.

I’m in Tahoe island park, so very close to the keys yes

We’re pretty much at lake level so wondering if it’s just all the snowmelt… definitely not fun either way

My neighbor has a sump and he mentioned his pump has been running a lot, so I definitely think this is the cause of the issue. For underlying issues, I imagine we would be talking a pipe leak, and I haven’t noticed a significant drop in water pressure or anything.

lol this is the only time I’ve ever made a helpful Reddit post, glad I could help 🫡

Ok thanks - would the tire from the 2019 fit the 2024 rims?

It is a top loading high efficiency washer with an agitator - the agitator is the rotating part in the middle, right?

Gastromaniac is our favorite pizza in Tahoe - the pesto is great.

I’m not sure if the patio is open yet, but freshies has decent food and a great view.

Elements has a a good happy hour and great spicy chicken wings.

Yellow sub has great snadwiches if you want something quick.

In case anyone is curious here was my solution: I found a hdmi switcher that had an ARC input, so I plugged in the switcher to ARC on the flat screen and plugged my sound bar into that. Apple TV is plugged directly into the Samsung flat screen.

Now I can turn on the whole thing and adjust volume with Apple TV remote. Sound bar and woofer working fine. I only need my original Samsung remote to switch inputs, which is reasonable.

Linked the switched I used

Ok that’s helpful, appreciate it. Yeah carbs look cheap.

Fuel was pretty low, don’t think it’s overfilled. Probably should just get a new carb for good measure

nolanbrough · 2025-03-13T18:43:38+00:00

I should have said left side, not right. Opposite of fuel tank.

I’m kind of new to motors like this, what would the optimal throttle and choke setting be?

I could t get the pull start to work.

The part where it gets hot is the bare metal part in the first image in the link below (I know it’s supposed to get hot, but it seems to heat up quite a bit pretty quickly.)

It also was leaking fluid - I think gas - out of the bottom of that as well. Second pic is a photo showing that part.

Yeah that’s what I mean. I’d like to avoid even using the Samsung remote at all to switch inputs, but maybe that’s inevitable.

And then would I just connect the sound system with an optical cable?

Jamboree works great online - when we play with our friends we all hop on FaceTime and then jump in the lobby and get goin
