Whatever...it's working again.

It’s easy to overlook the simple stuff.   Especially in a case like that.  I wouldn’t have been thinking to check to see if it was unplugged at first either. 

I had a new guy come in 2 weeks ago.  He was [BLEEP] the blower wouldn’t start.   Granted, some pieces of equipment will have their quirks. But they’ll start up just fine if you know what they are.  It got to the point I picked the blower up.  It was cold. Usually just choke it if it hasn’t been running and kept warm.  If it’s been running, throttle lock, one pull, go!   Well since this dude was complaining so bad I started from the very beginning.  Open gas cap.  What? Bone dry? I called him over.  Found the problem.  He doesn’t work here anymore.
