Well, it finally snowed yesturday, only about an inch or so but enough to make me want to get the old scorpion out to bomb around on. well it had been snowing the night before and the sled was sitting outside. well it finally got cold enough out to snow and there must of got water in the carb because there was ice at the end. so i took the torch to it and melted the ice off and away, changed the plugs, heated up the throttle as it was stuck, then went to go pull it over, wouldnt pull! well today i went out with a screwdriver to see if i can knock the cylinders loose and no go, one final attempt was to stick the torch in the cylinders and heat them up and see if i could break them loose, no go. well i said screw it and was going to try to light it on fire and watch it burn so i stuck it in the carb an held it there, well nothing happend, for some reason i tried to pull it over and it did! two pulls and it took right off. just took it around the yard a few times and parked it with a tarp over it this time, lol. well that was my day, anyone got any interesting stories at all?
