Stock plug is a Torch F6RTC
I was just thinking about plug bc that would be the easiest to get to try to get it to run. Prob not gonna get it to run or even try to. Too late tonight.
True. Although it sat in the shed between 2016 to 2024 and started up last time no issues so... Plug, coil or a ground. Can be any of those tbh. Bc those are the basic 3 things in the ignition right?
Nice will check them out. I'll see if AutoZone or advanced Auto or O'Reilly's. I already know dad is staying inside / at home tomorrow so I'll probably just wait and fix it up another time. We rarely have snow storms these days so it's not that important but helpful to have a blower.https://www.sparkplug-crossreference.com/convert/torch/F6RTC
Torch plugs used to be about the cheapest pos you could put in a mower or blower and still get it to run.
I replaced mine while the machine was still new and unrun.
No idea if they are still junk but my NGKs work great!
Get rid of the crap old gas!!!
Found the NGK replacement at O Reilly's. I'll try to go up there asap tmrw mornhttps://www.sparkplug-crossreference.com/convert/torch/F6RTC

Drain the fuel tank and drain the carburetor then fill with fresh fuel, that’s the most likely issue if you didn’t treat the fuel prior to parking it. I use stabil and no more issues.
. on the other hand i don't want to deal with the hassle of getting a new one. i don't do much with it and it hasn't become problem enough to be inconvenient, so...
then proceeds to scurry out the door. when i got back to my truck after paying she was gone. why pull up to a pump if you're not going to buy gas?
Let me see if I'm understanding this right... the person in the Tesla was in a hurry to get to the gas pump?just had an interesting experience at the gas station.
went to pull in the driveway, a Dodge Challenger pulled into the first driveway and the pumps looked full on that side, so i hit the second driveway all of 40 feet later. had to wait for pedestrians with a small white fluffy dog to cross the driveway. had an butthead in a Tesla behind me. I'm waiting. as soon as the pedestrians and dog pass the Challenger looked like it might pull through to an open pump so i had nowhere to go and just stayed stopped pulled over in the right lane. bastard in the Tesla honked at me, jumped into the left lane and sped off. of course my windows down so i was sure to let him know he was #1. the Challenger ended up stopping and parking along the curb that runs along the sidewalk. so i pull into the open pump right in front of me.
as I'm getting out of my truck a black Silverado pulls up to the opposite pump. I'm pulling cash out of my wallet and double checking the pump #. a women, obviously pregnant, gets out of the drivers side of the Silverado and scurries inside. i wonder inside end up in line 2 behind her. she buys 2 6 packs and chewing tobacco.
put $78 in the tank. washed my windshield. went back in to get my change. there's a women in there, you could tell she was a total freaking hippie back in the 60's but had like aged out. socks that went halfway up her shins and Birkenstocks, weird ill fitting flower dress, need i say more? and she gave me the stink eye for whatever reason. i just gave her the downward "how you doin'" nod and it was obvious after that that she was trying not to look at me.
so yeah, good times i guess.

walks around the back of the clearly marked hazmat tanker you're unloading with a lit cigarette? If that vapor return line has any leaks it's
Yeah, there's no way they could give you any grief. Give him a shower.I used to deliver tankers of gasoline to gas stations, if you think that's bad wait until some
Another one of my favorites was a woman holding up the line at a small gas station while she paid for about a dozen items using her envelope spending system(so she had a candy envelope, take the money and count out change, a cigarette envelope, take the money and count out change) while everybody waited...lady you can take the receipt and do that at home! Very inconsiderate.
It also happened pretty regularly that cars would drive through our cones or over our hoses, or worse into the aluminum fittings that connect the hose to the ground.
I had decided the next time someone smoked while I unloaded I was going to use my fire extinguisher and try to blast the cigarette down their throat. I doubt I'd get arrested since I was trying to stop the fire hazard around gasoline vapors.
Been like that for yearsMy rant for the day, OMG the ArrmaForum has gone downhill recently, you tell someone actual facts and they go getting all defensive and poopy about it.. it used to be such a good place, I go on there less and less recently due to all the morons
Such a shame…
