DON'T PLANT IPHEION!!! They will take over your yard like an invasive weed spreading via seeds that scatter EVERYWHERE. I planted a few (2-3) here and there in the front yard and we now have large patches of them yards away where I never even planted them, and coming up in between other plants. I've spent HOURS sifting HUNDREDS of them out of a small square-foot area of soil, only to have a new patch of them the next season. I'm starting to find them in the back yard now. They are my worse gardening mistake, ever! Some people will tell you they weren't invasive in their yard. But if they aren't invasive at all, they wouldn't have multiplied like rabbits in mine, would they? Don't take a chance with them, you might be one of the unlucky ones like me. DON'T PLANT IPHEION!! Consider yourself warned......... Jen

Well Jack, you are wrong, again! I did not "do a search for 'are there any vegetables that critters will not eat' when you already knew the answer was no". You see, after I finished reading all of these wonderful and informative comments, I did further research and LEARNED (because I am still capable of admitting I don't know everything) that deer/critters in one area will eat some things while deer/critters in other areas eat other things and that most vegetables will ultimately be subject to deer/critter consumption. But you have to admit you have a way of going off topic.

In this case the elect. fuel shut-off solenoid (item 1) in in place of and older design carb. that just has a bolt to hold the float bowl on. Just remove the wire and using a wrench on the hex portion of the solenoid. This solenoid will click and open when you turn the key to the on position moving the plunger that mowie talked about to let fuel into the carb. you can test this by simply removing it ground it out against the carb. (with the power wire connected)(or you can use a battery charger with the + connected to the elect. hook-up and the - grounded against the body of the solonoid) and turn the switch to the on position. you should see the plunger actuate out when power is supplied (12V) and retract when power (12Vs is removed) Other than that spraying the passages and seeing if float works is the same as older design carb. remember their will be two gaskets when you remove the float bowl, 1 on the solenoid to seal it against the carb. bowl(usually a crush type gasket that can be reused if it didn't get torn up during removal, 2 o-ring at the top of the fuel bowl which usually sticks to the carb. housing and can be reused if it didn't get damaged during removal. you want the o-ring on the carb. housing for installation and not on the bowl cause the bowl slips over the o-ring and will most likely get pinched if put inside the bowl when installing or have it on the carb. housing to alow the bowl to slip over the o-ring for a good seal job, but you still have to look and see if it's pinched out while tighen the solenoid. as with all o-ring installations you need some type of lubricant to ensure you don't pinch the o-ring when installing it, most use small amount of vasoline jelly. If you have pinched it fuel will leak when the float fills the bowl up. To prevent pinching of the o-ring install the bowl and hold it up against the carb while screwing the solenoid on hand tight, now look around the bowl where it meets the carb housing for the o-ring sticking out, if you don't see no protrusion the tighten the solenoid using a wrench on the hex part of the solenoid. Tighten as tight as it was coming off trying not to over tighten it so you don't smash the crush gasket on the solenoid creating leak. most people with general knowledge and do this, if you have fuel leak try to see if the fuel is coming from the bottom or the top of the fuel bowl? remove the bowl inspect the gaskets and try to reseal it again, if it still leaks then you will have to take it to a mechanic which IMO will cost you no more that taking in as long as you didn't lose or damage parts during the trial maintenance repair. kinda of long sorry.

Impatiens most definitely still ARE on the market!! It just depends on who your source is and your location. And it's not a virus but only downy mildew, which many other plants contract as well. Not the end of the impatiens world :-)) Lobelia is extremely shade tolerant and comes in a dark purple color. I also like nemesia. Pansies or violets for later in the season. And the Persian shield is an excellent choice if you want to open for foliage color rather than flowers. In that same vein you could also substitute a purple leaved heucheras for a more perennial effect. Cherries really do not make very dense shade, so I'm not sure you have to focus only on shade lovers. Lots of part shade plants could work. Like the petunias or calibrachoa mentioned above.
