Generator starting tip

[Adios Pantalones]

Pulled the gennie out to start it up, get it ready, and to run a power drill. Many a pull later- it finally coughed out the mouse nest it had in the exhaust and started. I was relieved- I thought there was a serious issue

tip: checkum for mice

Happy Festivus all

There's a spark screen on my genset exhaust. More worried that mud daubers will move in than mice.

Adios,

Mothballs......I have been told they smell Really bad. Personally I have never been able to get their little legs far enough apart to actually smell them.
Happy New Year

mothballs help.... but are carcinogenic... so watch out.
