I don't care if others smoke, but I have an issue with the smell. When the plants start doing their thing this time if year, it's instant headache for me. Also, when guys are smoking at work, their clothes and backpacks reek of it, and I don't think they know how bad it is. And it's really bad.

One LMFH (lawn mower from hell) has been conquered. Initially a gunked up fuel bowl and a bad o-ring. Then it was killing the battery. I found a broken wire inside a six pin connector. Then it would only start/run on ether. Tank got drained, fresh alcohol free gas was added. Carb cleaned again...
