The DU Lounge

My daughter called a plumber because her dishwasher quit working, when he failed to show up she hit the internet, diagnosed the problem, ordered the replacement part and fixed it herself.

I have a push mower (self-propelled) that was shutting down and being a beast to start. I would hit the carburetor with a hammer to get it to run. After I kinked in the carburetor housing I went on line and ordered a new one. Yeah I probably should have just cleaned the old one but I kinked the housing. I told my 12 year old grandson that he was going to change the carburetor for me. I got him the tools and stool to sit on.

Well as he was putting the new carburetor on I butted in and hooked up a linkage and said, it's not working right, he says, grandpa, back off, the linkage was in the right hole but needed to be put on the top not the bottom.

Job finished, I put gas in the mower and told him to give it a pull. It started on the 1st pull.
