I have ordered up enough fuel line to replace the works however that will wait a bit. Ran fine yesterday while I cut down a dead pine with a handsaw, planted a fresh one, watered all the new Norway Spruce then mowed 3.5 acres. Today I feel like s**t so I am just going to sit on my butt.

Used the handsaw because the damned chainsaw will not start.
