Tonight dad was gonna pugt feed out with the 165- It died about 50 feet out of the barn. I checked it for spark, that was good. Looked at the sediment bowl, and it looked cloudy. Followed a few suggestions on trouble shooting, and with a little patience I got it running again.
There was some water in the gas, and lots of stuff floating in it. Just got gas yesterday and he filled it about a hour later- Dirty gas I guess.
The screen in the sediment bowl was dirty, and torn, so I went to TSC to see if they had one. They had one I made work after cutting it down some (bowl gasket didn't seal).

No screen in there and I didn't see anything so I just put it back together.
Fired right up then.... Not sure where the plug was, but the good news is that it runs fine now.
