PRAISE GOD.

 

PRAISE GOD.

The last few days I have been doing some volunteer

work on a lawn mower.  And no, the image above is

not it.  I just liked the picture.  The one I was working

on was one of the newer zero turn mowers.

I think it and some other equipment was donated to the

camp and needed "fixing" before they could be used.

Anyway the mower had a flat tire, would not start and

needed the blades sharpened as a starter.

I found a way to bypass the switch and get the mower

running.  After running it about four times I went ahead

with the repairs.

After making the repairs I could not keep the engine 

running.  Now I am not smart, educated or any of those

things.  But, I have been working with all kinds of engines

for at least seventy five years.  Have been a professional

auto technician for over a quarter of a century and have a

feel for why an engine does not run.  This one was running

out of gas.  It would start easy and then run out of gas.

I took the carb off.  Went through it.  Checked the fuel pump

out - it was O.K.  I know, I had never worked on this brand 

mower before and was not acquainted with it.  But after

working an hour or more trying to keep it running I just

gave up for the day, very discouraged.

God through the Apostle James told us;

"If you need wisdom, ask our generous

God, and he will give it to you.  He will

not rebuke you for asking."

(James 1:5 NLT)

So, I began to ask God for help.  I was 

tired, discouraged and at a complete loss,

but praying.

That night while taking my bath God begin

to reveal a different train of thought to my 

punny little brain.  Look at the electrical system

instead of the fuel system.

That was it.  A very simple fix.  I had miss 

wired a wire which blew the fuse and that

shut the fuel solenoid off.

PRAISE GOD for straightening out my thinking

on the problem.
