We are told that all things work together for good to those who love the Lord and Master, Romans 8:28. Presently it is hard to see how your experience plays out in that big plan of His, but He has a plan and will fulfill it. He does listen to us when we talk to Him so your request for us to pray is a good one. We will ask that you will have the patience to endure the pain and loss and that He might be present with you during this time of trial. We will also ask for speedy healing and financial stability.
Yep, and pouring a liquid into the cylinder will only make matters worse. Take out all the plugs before you turn it over, just to be safe, and turning it over by hand is still a much better way than the starter if there are possible issues.
Seeing as you have gas leaking out as Ronnie said and you have the possibility of raw fuel in a cylinder, I would remove the left side center of the engine cover and turn the engine over by hand before anything else. If the starter does kick in and there is raw fuel in the cylinder it will not be small issue.
Next time, make a cut into the race as deep as you can without too much damage to the tree. Then take a cold chisel and hammer and give that cut some direct encouragement. You shouldn't have to test it's resiliency more than twice.
Wrong!! You asked. right side up is opposite from upside down. Laying on one side or the other only counts in the chicken coop. Now if you want to discuss lying, then the truth of the matter needs to be addressed. I really don't know where you are going with this, but so far you have me confused.
Yep, a heavy foot will do that, but it's not uncommon to loose a shift pin. If you feel like you have to push the pedal to shift there will be something not quite right and pushing hard will only cause damage.
Glad you have it remedied.
