I moved the cars today so I could mow the grass. Had to push the Dirtmaster, because it wouldn't start. The All-Terrain Acclaim has a flat tire on RF. The General Lei smells like feet.

That's all - have a nice day!

Sorry you had to push the Dirtmaster. Hopefully you didn't have to do it by hand. Pushing in the dirt after the tires have settled in would be tough. We'll try to remember jumper cables when we come. The battery had been fine and I'm sure we didn't leave the headlights on...there are none.
Thanks for holding the car for us.

battery & starter were turning over the engine fine - it just wouldn't start.

Oh, yes, the dreaded carburator is dry problem. We had a similar issue at the BMW farm. We may have to start it with WD40.
Thanks for the diagnostic heads up.

the electronic choke is dead we think, so pouring gas dwon the throat of the carbeurator is needed at times, also, at the last school, a vaccuum hose had come off the carb as well, we put that back on, primed teh carbeurator, and it fired right up straight away, it also needs shocks, but, oh well....

You know...I don't recall the smell of feet when we came and worked on it. Just for your delicate nose though, I will bring one of those stinky tree things to hang on the rearview mirro.....oh wait, we don't have a rear view mirror. I'll see if I can find one in "New Car" scent. :lol:

Someone, please, photo-chop that thing with a lift kit and mudders. And maybe some grass sticking out of the front cowl
