The magneto does NOT get power. When it is grounded, spark is killed. It works just like one on a walk behind mower. No battery required.

Jaansu, you can siphon fuel, on SOME cars. I say some because I've tried with quite a few different ones over the years and some are easy while others can be a real PITA. The first thig is that you have to use a small diameter hose to get to the fuel. I went to Home Depot and bought some clear vinyl tubing that they sell in bulk on those giant spools. I use 2 seperate pieces of tubing that are different diameters to siphon with and it works great. I bought 20' of 1/4" ( I.D. ) and 10' of 3/8" ( I.D. ) to do it with. I bought enough of each knowing I'd have x-tra but I wanted to be sure to get it all the way down into the tank. First, take the smaller tubing and gently feed it down into the tank, you may have to spin it around as you fed it in but it should go. If the tubing stops and will not go any further, remove it & check to see if there is gas on it. If you find that it made it all the way down into the tank great, if not, DO NOT FORCE IT, you might be running into the fuel pump and you could damage it if you force the tubing further. Gently try it again and it should go. Now take the larger diameter tubing and cut off a couple of feet and insert it into the filler neck along side the smaller tubing. Next, get a rag and wrap it around both pieces of tubing right where they enter the filler neck. Now if you have a compressor, don't worry if you don't as I'll tell you how to do it without one, put the blow gun attachment on and insert the end in the SHORT HOSE (the bigger one). I use a blower attachment that has a tapered rubber end on it and it fits perfect but you can use the ones that have a metal tip and they work too. Now while you hold the rag down, give a few bursts of air and watch the small line to see if Fuel is coming out, it helps to put the tubing into a large gas can rather than directly into the Lawn Mower because it might overfill the Mower and make a mess. If you don't get Gas at first, and you're sure the tubing is far enough down so it's getting to the Gas, try it again with longer bursts of air and make sure that the rag is tight & isn't allowing any air to escape. Once the Gas starts flowing, you can remove the short hose and continue filling your container. If you don't have a Compressor then you can just blow into the large tube but this may take a few more attempts to get the siphon started. Hope this helps you out, and let us know how you did. Take care

I had a similar problem and it's cause was never exacltly figured out, but it was causing an even bigger problem. I had carbom dioxide in my home. My kids were getting headaches at the same time my husband was. It might have been going on for years before I got a carbon monoxide detector. I had all kinds of experts in to help figure it out. Here's what we figured out that triggered it. When the heat was on on one level and airconditioning on the other. Of course we didn't do that on purpose but there are times of the year when you go back and forth between them. Also if it was really cold and we had the heat on downstars and had it off upstairs. That would make the heater work to hard and it couldn't get enough oxigen. They also thought that if I left the flue for the firplace open, that could cause a problem.

The light works now. All the bulbs worked, so it was obviously the ballast, which I replaced. However the wires were too short, and I used an orange connector to combine each pair of them. The orange and the black electrical tape show through the milk glass shade. Besides finding white connectors and getting rid of the electrical tape, how else can I make the wiring more invisible? The 4 ballast wires are yellow and red, and they don't show that much. The instructions had a picture with a more linear connector that matched the red and yellow wires. Where can I get those and what are they called? Can I attach the wires to the top of the fixture so they don't show through the shade as much? How should I do that?
