I just called a customer to inform him that he needs a $150.00 carburetor ruined by setting for several months withwater and sour gasoline in the carburetor; since the main body of the carb is made of plastiv and is now all gummed up and corrosion has formed on the ramain white metal, a rebuild is out of the question.
Some of the water found in the bowl is due to phase separation, some to condensation and the remainder due to being abandoned outsida when it failed to run.
Alcohol is good to get drunk on and for specially built race car engines but damaging as auto fuel for the common car.
If we had to start buying fuel by the pound instead of the gallon we would better appreciate the difference.
Sorry for the poor editing; I also forgot to mention that the vehicle in question is a Cub Cadet 46” riding lawn mower.
