    It’s running fine now, so maybe it didn’t like him. At the time I thought it had lost spark, so was thinking it would need something replaced.
    Best I can figger is the float stuck. There had been a mouse living under the hood too, so there’s no telling what got chewed. There was house insulation in it. The closet insulation is 100 yards away. I texted the almost buyer, but haven’t heard back.

    I had to sneak home from work to take delivery, so we have not been properly reunited yet.

    What is the scoop on the bucket paint being faded?

    I didn’t ask why. Either the previous owner kept the bucket, or it was shot and they replaced with a faded bucket, or the bucket didn’t fit into the shed. It’s obviously a different shade of orange.
