About a year ago we got OT on how to start small gas engines and some
of you guys mentioned feeding the carbeurator some propane gas via
your propane torch.

Well, it's snowing like crazy here in central PA and I haven't needed
to start the Gravely with it's snow blower since I brought it up and
put it in the garage in September. Had difficulty getting it going
the normal way. Flowed a little propane into the carb - turned it
over - fired right away !! but quit. Next time I flowed in the
propane and closed the choke behind it. Fired right up and ran like
usual. Hot darn. The propane trick works!!!!

Thanks for the advice guys.

Now if I could just get rid of the contact gremlin inside the starter
switch so that the starter would catch consistantly. Oh well, what
can you expect for a 23 year old machine that only gets run
intermittantly.
