[QUOTE="cchardwick, post: 5486, member: 758"] I finally got the skid steer running! I spent all morning working on it. First I checked for spark, I saw it had plenty of spark. So then I pulled all the plugs and let them dry for a couple hours, they were soaked in gasoline. Then I put them back in and tried to start it....just cranked, didn't even want to start. Then I took out the plugs and sprayed on some starting fluid and tried it again. This time I jumped it with my truck. It turned over about three times as fast as the battery on the skid steer and wanted to start for just a second and then wouldn't start. So then I took a plug out and noticed that I didn't smell gas on the plug so I added 10 gallons to the gas tanks and it started right up! Maybe I was out of gas, how embarassing LOL. It's funny I thought I had tons of gas in there and put in 15 gallons the last time I ran it. Maybe it uses more gas than I thought. Anyway, I ran it for about three hours and moved a ton of snow and froze my but off LOL. I plowed till I couldn't feel my hands and feet and I was geared up with Neoprene, MAN it's cold out there and the wind is wipping around real fast. I need to get some plexiglass on the windows and enclose the cab for weather like this! [/QUOTE]
