Trying to juggle work meetings, plow 12" of snow, and pack for a trip.
The blower didn't sound right, I saw some black smoke and just attributed it to old gas. I turned the choke off right after starting, but with fat gloves, it turns out I didn't turn it enough. the graphic is horrible and I thought I was 100% off. My fault.
Anyway, I ran almost a full tank that way, then realized WTH I did. I ran another 30 minutes or so with more gas, choke off and it ran great.
Now my exhaust is black with carbon.
Once things settle down, I figure I'll swap out the spark plug. Maybe clean the carbon off, just because it reminds me that I'm a moron.
Briggs & Stratton engine
Anything else?
