I have been so frustrated for the last six weeks with my L120 dying, maybe restartin, running for various lengths of time. i am very rural and don't have many choices in repair assistance. I rebuilt the carburater, flushed the tank, blew out the lines, replaced the fuel filter, checked the pump.....nothing worked until i read DavidG's response to Pilotmike who seemed to have the same problem....one sharp wooden toothpick applied to the ventcap and a little blow and a little suck (yuck) and VOILA!

DavidG, Pilotmike called you a genius.....what you are is a Godsend.

Thanks Again

Welcome to the forum. Lot's of fine advice here.

 

[mercdv]

Yea, it's a great group of guys here, very helpful bunch. I just hope I don't wear out my welcome with all my posts and questions.:sorry1:

My job keeps me in front of a computer all day so I type fast and spew a lot of questions in a short amount of time.:thSick:

Without these guys, I would totally be lost.

That's what this place is all about.
Sometimes it takes another set of eyes to see the problem after you've been looking at it for too long.
Oh yeah......:MTF_wel:

My wife and I call guys like all of you the "normal" people. We may poke fun at each other and ourselves but when it comes right down to it we appreciate the fact that by sticking together it's a darn sight easier to get things done. It reminds me of my old basic traing squadron in the USAF, and it don't get a lot better than that. as you have all said "There are a lot of great guys on this site." Thanks for making me feel welcome.

Blowing and sucking ??????? you must be real rural....the rest of us would have used compressed air ,and just blown,the vent open. :ROF :ROF :ROF

:Welcome1:

It's funny how we tend to over look the little things,and make things more complicated then they need be .....the old model T's were gravity fed also,and going up a hill backwards was done often....see ya,Jim

Well, Jimc..you Got Me On That One. Out Here In The Sticks Of Ne Texas, Those Of Us Over 60 Refer To Ourselves As Pluggers!

I Was So Anxious To See If That Simple Little Ole Vent Had Been Causing All My Trouble, That I Ran Out In The Field Where The Mower Has Died Last And Jerked Off The Gas Cap...heck I Was Already Huffin' And Puffin' So Hard From Running That I Didn't Need To Go All The Way Back To The Shop...i Just Stuck A Tooth Pick In The Hole....put A Great Ole Big Lip Lock On That Baby And Just Continued With My Huffin' And Puffin'. And What Do You Know..she Cranked Right Up And Hasn't Given Me A Problem Since!

So Rural? Naah - I'm A Good Old American Plugger And Right Proud Of It!

This Is Absolutely The Best Site I Have Ever Been On.

Thanks Again Davidg And Jimc If You're Ever Down This Way, Please Let Me Know. Ya'll Would Be Welcome To Come Out For Some Smoked Ribs, Potato Salad, Pinto Beans And Some Good Ole Story Swappin'.

Look to the right of the "Reply box"---click whichever icon you want and will insert iut at that spot--or go down to the little MORE line (underlined)--that will open a whole page--same useage--then just close the icon page, and ur back at home w/ us!!

I bet you have not had to mow much. Just saw on the news that mid Texas is in a historic drought. Great timming huh!

Well I tell you what. We are up in the far n.e. corner of Texas and except for an unusally hot june, we have actually had an unusual amount of rain this summer. My pond is only down about 1 foot and normally this time of the year it is down about 8 feet. So we haven't gotten any break on the mowing, in fact we are mowing about 3 acres every week. So up here we are blessed.
