I did it, after several days of frustration, of throwing screw drivers and wrenches (anyone who's worked on small engines before will know what I'm talking about, being able to only turn a bolt 1/4 turn with a boxed end wrench, tiny screws and clips) I finally got my trencher to start. To add to my frustration over the past few days I have been not working on just one small engine but two, one I was robbing parts off because it's broken down (it has a new engine but nothing was hooked back up correctly, wasn't me, it has a blown bearing right now). Toss in running two businesses and having to deal with customers, answering the phone, is it any wonder I threw a screw driver...or two...or three...or four...I still haven't found a few. But now that is done next comes replacing a bearing on that machine (which is easier to replace than on the other one) and fixing a tire on it that constantly goes flat. That's for Monday though, today I just rejoice in the fact that me, a non mechanic, was able to fix something and get it running again.
