He brought it back into the yard and proceeded to rev the bejeepers out of it,
and all at once there was a big POP and out flies this big pile of yarn and straw and crap all over the lawn!
I laughed so hard I thought I was gonna puke!
The whole time he is running around trying to pick this junk off the lawn I am giving him crap about how his furd is now down about half his horsepower because he just killed off the most powerful parts of the vehicle!!
Point of the story is don't overlook the possibility of an exhaust restriction.
Merry Christmas

Hehe!!!!
That's funny!!!
However, back to the point... I'm thinking he has some bad fuel in the carb..... did ya try blowin' the rodents outta' it?
