Well, the fuel pump went out on my lawnmower and I ordered the parts, but they won't be here for a week or so. I had to get the lawn mowed while we had a little bit of dry weather. So, I realized it might work with gravity feed, so this is what I did. Not quite a redneck repair, cause I am going to fix it right. But this got me through:

Grant had me take that picture and it actually works.

A Grant idea that works, whodathunkit? :bounce:

In all seriousness though, thank you Grant for the tour of your way cool shop. Love your dog and a deaf white boxer is almost the perfect blacksmith's dog. Just that white fur showing all the dirty hand pets. 😀

Best regards,
Tim

Looking forward to meeting a lot of you at the spring conference. I pre-registered this morning.
