Message	I told my dad to try draining the old gas that was in there out and put in fresh gas. Worked like a champ on the first try. It was a relatively new generator at the time, so we didn't think anything was wrong with it. We were glad we tried that first rather than opening it up. "Soap and a shop broom? Oh man, that's rough. Been there." ~Kenny "Eww. Is that what jail is like?" ~ John "+3" ~Guapo Kickerzx- "heres mine! you can jam all kind of stuff in there if you really want to."
