Holy cow I read about this place somewhere else not long ago, and now we got one. I am in for that.

I think it's near Target in Fayetteville, it just opened up a couple days ago.

Nah Elkins is great, I'm on that end of Fayetteville near the end of Crossover Rd. You'll like it. Where abouts is the house?
Guess I got to take the bad with the good.

I'm right off 16 on the west side of Elkins.

I was thinking somewhere in mburg or the Rudy BBQ. Depends on route we end up taking. I'm up for trying new. You coming along? Know what day it will be (Sunday) @ Elkins Superstop.

Scott, Warloop was graded since those videos. In any case, you can walk faster than I go down it.

BTW I rode by Ted's house today. His truck wasn't there but his wife's Suburban was and Chris's KTM. There was a sock on the door know so I rode on.

I rode by Mouth's but looked like he was gone on his hillbilly music deliverance trip.

I went to high school with this guy. Just found out he is an actor. Was on House recently. Kind of cool.

Must have been Tune's. Mine was busy riding a curvy road in Oklahoma. Yes there are a couple. England Hollow Rd I think it is called between Ok 62 and OK 59.

Tilted Kilt is where the the TGIFridays used to be across from the Olive Garden. Hope the food is better than Northern Exposure. Maybe I should start up the old Brazilian place and call it Southern Exposure Wait staff in Brazilian cut thongs serving southern fried food.

Sounds like we need a lawnmower Tech Day. If you all need some long grass to test mower improvements on just let me know. I have plenty to donate to the cause. With potential for weedeaters and other yard implements.

the coil is very easy to check with an ohm meter.

a business card is usually all thats needed to set the coil/pickup air gap.

oh wait never mind you said he was nice.

I called NWA small engine, the mobile service, and the guy went through all the switch and ignition diagnostics over the phone. I had already done all of those, so he said it sounds like a I diagnosed a bad coil. Super nice guy, told me to reset the coil and flywheel and if that doesn't fix my problem, call him back and he will make a house call ($40 min, $40/hr).

I priced coils online for ~$25 so for that money I will just shotgun it and see what happens. I want to avoid taking the mower to town if necessary, so this will be tomorrow's project.
