[Elecraft] Bucket treatment

[Charlie T, K3ICH]

Just curious, did you ever clean out the little
screen in the muffler called the "spark arrester"?

I have "fixed" a number of small heavily used 2
cycle powered devices by doing just that.  Most
would barely run and full throttle acted like the
choke was on.

When we first moved into this house, cash was
tight, so I bought *the
cheapest* gas-powered weed-eater I could find.

Worked fine for about three years, then it started
running poorly.  No matter what I did, plugs, carb
cleaning, fresh gas, etc., it ran poorly until one
day it kept quitting.

Finally got so pissed off that I grabbed it by the
cutter end and swung it over my head into the
driveway, bashing it into bits multiple times. 
  :)  VERY stress relieving.

Replaced it with a Husqvarna.  While not Elecraft
quality, it's very, very nice and makes
weed-eating almost fun.

thanks and 73,
