Sounds like you are on a good track IMO. 1. Double check the fuel lines, in tank filter and primer bulb (if equipped) good for deterioration and restriction (pull the filter if in doubt if no signs of trash is in the tank). 2. My challenge with the little carb is replacing the small recessed fuel filter, which clean easy with pressurized carb cleaner below and above it. There is usually fine trash in it restricting fuel flow but I try not to rem it. 3. Rem all adjustment screws and pressure clean their ports and all ports. Count screws turn down to reset them close for restarting and tune if needed. 4. This is usually my extent of cleaning if the eng runs or tries to run vs hrs of soaking if the carb has hard varnish. 5. Lack of use is not good on engines. I treat all my fuel with StaBil and start "All" engines yearly with fresh fuel 5-10 minutes regardless or alternate use. I leave the fresh treated fuel off-season w/o a problem. 6. There are youtubs on cleaning/rebuilding the small carb. 7. Check your manual to see if it has a compression release button to make the starting easier.

Though I've not camped out in line for anything, I do get it. It's part of the experience that these people share together. I have stood in line for a couple of hours for a remarkable dining experience and enjoyed every minute of it. The standing AND the eating. We did it twice! A best friend stood in line with her daughter for I don't know how long for one of the Harry Potter books and made it sound like so much fun that I was jealous! I'm fascinated with my husband's IPhone (he doesn't have this newest version). It will get passed down to me when he gets around to upgrading. We find that our electronic devices enrich, enhance, and improve our lives but neither of us are afraid to be without them. If I had that kind of passion about anything, I can think of a lot worse things than hanging out with a bunch of like-minded sheeples.

I don't have the Force Touch (older MacBook) but I found this on the Apple website so looks you'll need to experiment/research/go the Apple store and ask - they really are helpful. Reminds me that I was amazed at the trackpad when I got my iPad and then MacBook. The other laptop computers that I had used were awful in that regard. I was like "Wow. This thing is really easy to use." Good luck! "In addition to the intuitive Multi-Touch gestures you may be familiar with — like scrolling, swiping, pinching, and rotating — Force Touch brings a new dimension to the Mac experience. The sensitivity is customizable, allowing you to adjust how much pressure is needed to register a click. And the trackpad can even tell whether you’re clicking with your thumb or another finger and automatically adjusts the sensitivity level."

Thank you all — more food for thought. sherri1058, Building for the CATS, cpartist — Honestly, I’ve not bothered to look at induction, it has never interested me. I may give it a test-cook and see how I like it. I love all of your enthusiasm for your cooktops. Building for the CATS — Your screen name makes me giggle. :-) It’s heartening to see you didn’t give up on the idea of a warming drawer, but concluded that the location was the problem - not the drawer itself. On the Miele, I know it’s just a refrigerator, but . . . SO elegant. cpartist — I think I’ve been in the fun years all my life — every decade gets better. :-) I will definitely post my kitchen plan for input. linus2003 — Thank you. I will compare those models. My mother just ordered one of the proline models (I don’t yet know which) to replace her 20 year old Miele. I think the price of one of those is about equal to the price of two of the 6165s, so it it may come down to space for me. plllog — I laughed out loud, literally, at your cartoon character comment. I am going to walk into the showroom and pretend I’m baking some of my everyday items and see which I prefer. I’ll take my dishes as well. :-) Great advice. Thank you! Chanop — Thank you so much of taking the time to post all those pictures and the detailed steps. I can certainly see why some people may see that as complicated for combi cooking. Oddly, however, it actually looks like fun to me. I know, I’m an odd duck. I can see myself setting up user programs for baguettes, boules, roasted [insert veggie here], etc. I gather custom programs are also available on the Gaggenau, however. This weekend I am going to an appliance store that has both the Gaggenau and the Miele. I will put both through their paces and decide from there. friedajune — All good points. Clearly, I need to do more research on hoods. Costco — good idea! GardenWeb forums, here I come! To misquote Blanche DuBois, I am deeply thankful for the kindness of strangers. Julie aka Lefty Lou
