Phew, golly that was fun. The yard is edged and mowed.
All the equipment fired right up. The year old lawn mower took two pulls, the 30+ year old edger started on the first pull, and the 12 year old two cycle string trimmer took 6 or 7 pulls. I need to get a new spark plug for it and clean the carb.
My brother saw he neighbor had put a fairly new leaf blower at the curb. He wandered out, grabbed it, and took it to his work area. He cleaned the carb, but new gas in it and replaced the spark plug with an old used one he had on a shelf. It fired right up. Old gas, gunk in the carb from the bad gas, and a spark plug that looked like one of the ones sold on the infomercials. It was just not right for a two stroke engine.
He saw his neighbor and asked if he wanted it back. The neighbor had already bought a new one. So my brother will keep it and sell it at some garage sale.
