What Johan said, Jan. Thank you for your hospitality and tell your wife thank you for the meal (even if you were the one digging the potatoes up 
)
We had so much to talk about that I totally forgot to take pics for DOW. Iām glad you remembered to post. Your S10 ran great on wood.

You can also go wider to get more surface area on the ground. I saw a video, but didnāt watch it, on adding a second tire to each side but your rims probably have to support it. Those -might- be about the same size as a lawn tractor tire, which are wider rims and they do make an agricultural tread for those. And you donāt go fast enough for spikes to fly off, or down a road with it, you could get away with a steel wheel (maybe a modified car rim) with spikes or treads on it. In either case, you will still probably need weights.
I think what did surprise me is how much power those do have.

Donāt forget about all the āsafe and effectiveā vaccines we got and the tons more our children get. Why so many food allergies? All the stuff that gets into our bodies these days is so toxic. Meds, food additives, pollution, etc., etc.

Sedentary lifestyle. Too many movies, tv, video games and inactivity in social networks which leads to hard drugs suicides.
Then you have covid that knocked out 1.1M people that would have certainly lived a few years longer and kicked down the overall average.
And now we are getting into the group that was the 70s and 80s kids.
We drink a lot less as well, and there are some supposed health benefits from drinking in moderation as well as the whole social scene.

Hi All,
One must be careful analyzing Lifeās data.
Big differences between life expectancy and a nations, a times, average old age.
Life expectancy has to factor in childhood deaths for all reasons.
So the biggest reason for much of the last centuries improvement is less children dying early, pulling down the numbers. In the still consider third world the story is still there. IF you live past the age of 10-13, you will probably go on to live a long life.
I do believe all of the factors that have been pointed out as far as life-style choices. Believe them; and have lived them mostly.
But I also believe all of those children who once would have died early, without the best immune systems; now aging, will just have more health problems later pulling the finally average age down.
I aināt no saint in this respect. As a kid it seemed I was the snot nose who caught everything. Did my family back then eat better?? Yeah. Actually we did.
Were we back then exposed to far more dusts, soots, CO, leads and asbestosās, and the heavy metals? Absolutely we were. But virtually no plastics.
But only crappy reception on first one. Then two. Then three broadcast TV channels. Only boob-tube pixilated maybe 4 hours total in a whole week. We all read daily. We were outsides much more, physically active. The only drugs were alcohol. Tobacco nicotine. No heroin or opioids here. No cocaine anymore then in miracle cure bottles; or Coke soda pop.
Certainly none of the synthetic designer drugs until I was near into my 20ās.
I have already out lived in years: my parents; all four of my blood grandparents; and the majority of my aunts and uncles. Heck. Outlived near half of my cousins peers now.
The grandparents greatest old age wipeout? Cardiovascular diseases.
My parents, aunts and uncles greatest old age wipeout? Cancers.
My cousins peers so far greater wipeout? A mixed bag of Hard core drugs. Fast living wrecks. And sucides. Too many sucides.
Across these three blood family generations the biggest life extension factor seem to be those who are actively living meaningful lives. Meaningful by their own standards.
Sure. Very subjective. My observations. But after all, remember well, I am all about the individual experiences. Care little about the so called big pictures. Big pictures. Big problems. Big problems endless worrying will stressās age you burning out your Life wax quicker. Your candle will sputter out and die. YOU USED IT UP. YOU KILLED IT.

What should have been an Ah-Ha moment for me never came until I was in my 40ās. When as a kid we were pouring coke into cylinders because it was known that it would dissolve rust we were also chugging it down gallons a week. Phosphoric Acid. . At least there was never a speck of rust in my colon.

Donāt worry, some flavored waters contain MORE phosphoric acid then coke.

Here you all go . . . the rest our Coleman Colonial tent camper moving story:
Sigh. 17 years under cover in one of the woodsheds bays storage.
Of course a lot of spiders nests and mouse damage.
Be the childrenās fairy-princess house once fully aired out and sanitized for the balance of this summer.
Restore?? Donāt know yet. Undecided. Be ~$3,000 and a few hundreds hours time.
Cut into any gasifer building and working I have had to set away already with this moving.
The 1981 liffter worm drive block rust seized and even spray-in lubing, lubing working back and forth finally snapped a cable. Now manually arm-strong raised and now held up by cut 2āx6" boards.

Well, this isānt the right place to post this, maybe, but this is whats going on at the moment.
I have this Honda gx340 11hp on my garden mulcher, itās running erratic for a while, black smoke, loss of power, like running on choke.
Soā¦ i put a cry for help here, i know there are lotās of knowledge about these small engines.
What iāve done: check the carb, cleaned out, choke is working, stays open, float level correct, float intact, needle closes. Main jet is in place.
Cleaned fuel filter and shut-off.
Cleaned air filter, and TEST-run without, no difference.
Checked exhaust, no blockage.
Checked valve latch.
No oil-level sensor.
Checked/cleaned/replaced sparkplug.
Now, whats left to do? Do these engines have points?
I had other engines that run this way because of rust on the cam, wearing down the little fibre piece, resulting in minimal gap.

Maybe your flywheel key is sheared and may be retarding the ignition timing?

Thanks Cody, i need to check that, if i understand correctly these engines donāt have points, just āelectronicā coil/module?
This engine really drives me insane, iāve tried google it for known troubles, but theres nothing newā¦

No points, itās some kind of magnetic pickup coil.
