It's possibly starving for fuel. If it has an O.E.M. inline fuel filter, you might try replacing it with an automotive filter so you get greater capacity for storing the stuff that a fuel filter catches before becoming "stopped up". I like the clear plastic kind so you can see if it has trapped water. I think you probably have 1/4" fuel hose so getting a nice, robust filter at a local parts house or even Wal-Mart is no trouble. Pay attention to the directional arrow pointing the right way to install it. Don't worry if you see a pocket of air in the top of the filter that won't go away, that's normal and does not mean your are sucking air or anything. The reason I suggest it may not be getting enough fuel is that you say it starts well and runs well until you try to cut grass. If it isn't acting strangely otherwise, it might not be getting sufficient fuel to meet the engine's needs when the real load is handed to it. Go out there and try to mow some grass the way you did before. Do this for about 15 minutes and then cut off the engine right there (so you can read the evidence on the spark plug tips without running the engine without being loaded) Let it cool down a bit and remove the spark plugs to inspect the tips. If the tips are dark black and sooty looking, you are getting too much fuel and/or not enough air. In that case start looking for a restriction in the air induction system (air filter and check any ducting leading to the air cleaner for foreign material, like a mouse nest). If the tips of plugs are white in appearance, you are not getting enough fuel and the engine is running too lean.

yeah.. i think you got it ... my promix disease ... would be dry rot ... not to repeat.. but for others.. in pots.. USE POTTING MEDIA .... not soil ... or compost .. media is designed so as to be predictable in many variables ... all the pots will dry similarly .. so they will all need water at the same time.. they will all hold the same amount of water.. etc ... when you start using soil ... e.g. ... you might drown one pot.. while starving another.. just because the soil may differ from pot to pot ... its the predictability that make working with the pots easier ... its NOT that you CANT use soil ... its just that media makes it easier.. though more expensive.... and when it becomes easier .... your success rate goes up ... and media is designed to weigh a fraction of soil.. when you have a lot of pots to move ... link below to a discussion from the conifer forum .. there is no difference regarding hosta ... now.. buck up.. i lost about 108 hosta when i moved.. so .. you arent alone ... good luck otherwise ... ken Here is a link that might be useful: link

Finally I have determined that the hard drive is failing. I suddenly had the boot disk message appear several days ago, and when I checked the boot order in BIOS, noted that no hard disk is listed. In attempting to use recovery disks, got a message "No hard drive detected." I then opened the tower and checked the connections, which were good and tight. Did a little dusting while I had it open. Finally, today I went into BIOS setup and saw the hard drive listed and decided to run the SMART test from there. It failed with a notation of "7" and then something about "no read." Since I just bought this drive about a year ago, I checked Western Digital's site and found out that it has a 3 year warranty. I started filling out information online and hit a stone wall when I could not get the page for RMA instructions to load, so I ended up phoning. Once I gave the serial number and was asked the problem, I was offered a replacement using either of two choices. I chose to receive the new drive and then return the old one within 30 days. For this, I had to give them a credit card number so that in case I did not return the old drive, they would charge my credit card $45. I didn't want to have to ship the old one back and then wait for the new one; also I don't have a proper box to ship it in. This way I will ship it back in the box the new one is in. By the way, I did a full backup on Friday, so hopefully putting the OS and all my programs etc. back will not be such a hassle as using the rescue disks. I used my Acronis program to clone the entire hard drive to the external drive I have. I may come asking for help when the time comes to reverse the operation and put things back on the internal hard drive. Thanks everyone for your help and support.

They're Manchester Terriers. We lost our 13 year old Min Pin to cancer Oct. 8th, 2015. I started looking at dog pictures online and read a bunch of stuff that made me think that our very sweet Min Pin was a fluke, because many people seemed to find Min Pins were temperamental. Ours was calm and very loving, with a lot of personality and we all loved him. I think most Min Pin owners seem to love their dog a lot. Anyway I found out about Manchester Terriers, and thought that if it's hard to find a Min Pin with good temperament, maybe a Manchester would be a better bet. I read that Manchesters love their people, and are very smart and long lived. Manchesters are fairly rare though. I got acquainted with a Manchester breeder online and she connected me with someone who needed to find a home for their male, who was 2. So we were given this beautiful sweet dog a year ago. I was very anxious about it but we bonded. Then the same breeder found a female for us who was 1 1/2. She came from a show dog background but was just a dog among a whole lot of dogs and never even knew her name. She is also very sweet and cuddly. The dogs mated shortly after we got the female and our puppy was born Oct. 8th, the anniversary of our Min Pin's death. His name is Tchoupitoulas. We call him Tchoup. (pronounced chop). I thought we might breed Manchesters since they're rare and great dogs but we had our female spayed for several reasons. If you want to see some pretty Manchester pictures I like the site for Rustic Lane Manchester Terriers. I am not affiliated with them. I just like the pics, especially the action pics. They are beautiful runners. They look a little exotic to me, I think it's their eyes and planes of their faces. They sometimes tear around the house bouncing off furniture chasing each other. Our cat holds her own. Didn't mean to hijack the thread. I'd get the kitties, but you have to weigh the pros and cons .
