By the time the door was open the engine stopped. Wouldn't restart - run a couple seconds when choked and the accelerator pumped, then die.
Thought I may have flooded it so I waited an hour and tried again. Same result - run a few seconds and die.
Pushed it in the garage.
Fuel bowl is full and the Wix 33039 filter looks clean - about 300 miles since I changed it.
I'll let you know what I find. Might work on it tomorrow.
Get your wife to get you a remote control for your garage for your birthday, there only about hundred dollars. Wayne
