Pulled the portable generator out of the shed last Sunday to prepare for possible use as the forecast for Debby was to linger here for days. The dadgum thing would not crank! It's Sunday and no stores that might carry rebuild parts are open. Oh well, hope the power holds out.

Today, folks are getting back to normal, stores opening again, so I go check the generator. For grins and giggles I prime it, set the choke and give a pull.....VROOM. What the....?:facepalm:

I had a car one time on which the wipers would work unless it was raining.

He was not pulling the rope hard enough the first time.
