    Hi Noah, Nice videos that you put out. Hope you got the Generator running smooth. I can say that most of the time the number one reason a gas engine runs lean and sputters out is water condensation in the fuel. Plastic containers are the worst for developing condensation. Most carbs have a drain plug on the bottom of the fuel bowl. Try draining it and give it another try. Thanks again for all the content

    Question. When you cleaned off the specimens you found... (beaufiful BTW), would it make the specimen more or less valuable if you took a dremel tool to it and took off all the non opal? Meaning... clean off all the rocky looking stuff. (Yeah.. I don't know the terminology!) Thanks for the answer in advance! XOXOXXO Love your vids!

    Don't forget to empty the float bowl when it start and stops like that.
    Better yet take it off and clean the jet.

    Stuff accumulates there and blocks the main jet easily.
