Gee willikers,

I hope poor IBUB can get his car started.

You know, it is possible to learn something from people you might never thought possible. I have had to deal with trouble makers at work whose only developed talent was sucking up to the boss and making trouble for me. And I mean real malicious trouble. Yet even some of these crazies had some little idea about something that worked.

Take this squirt can thing. One day I was rummaging around some shelves and came across a squirt oil can. I opened it and it contained gasoline. I never thought about that before, but it is very cost effective. The next time I had to start some motor that was sitting so long the carburetor was dry I grabbed the can and viola! It started right up and kept running. Without any spillage, staining, or fire hazard.

Another method I saw here was filling the carb bowl via the vent. That's neat too. But for really fast results I like this oil can thing. It was not my invention.

Now if IBUB can get his car started
