What did you do today....other than work on your car!?

Woke up to 17 degrees and this sunrise in the Oregon Ochoco Mountains.

Blew the last of the leaves into the woods and cut the grass for the last time & started to clean and winterize the JD mower. I’ll finish that up tomorrow & put it away in the basement.

Went out to a friend's shop for some advice on a '77 Penton mx'r I brought back from FL. If I can find the parts to rebuild it, looks good. Stopped at a local beer store on the way home. SCORE !!! They had the remaining Paulaner Octoberfest on sale, 2 for 1 !!!!!!!!!

Replaced the toilet guts to fix a leak. Turned the valve to shut off the water to the tank and it snapped internally. Had to run downstairs to shut off the main line.
Job is done now with no leaks. Success
 
I removed the carb from my 2000 watt Yamaha generator. It is running better, but still surging / hunting a bit.
Quit when it started to drizzle, then the power went off.
Turned on some back up systems, but not the fridge. Power was off about two hours. Just realized I had turned down the E heaters. They are running now.

Sounds like a carb kit is in order.
 
Have that stuff for the bikes. They are small jets on these small engines.
I have a 1992 Big Bear Yamaha 4 wheeler. It sat for years and ran like shat. It took a few goes, but with nothing but Seafoam it runs and idles like a top now. Same deal with my Wife's 25HP honda on her steel work boat at the lake...
