I certainly have. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Or when they bring their atv with no gas in it and complaint it doesn't start..."Does not start I had to push it in the truck!!!"....🤣🤣 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
retro 4,048 Posted September 17, 2020 I just bumped the kill switch on my Rancher while I was pressure washing it on Monday. Took me 5 minutes to realize what I had done... was thinking the worse possible thought.... I figured that I had forced way too much water into the exhaust outlet while blasting hard red clay off of the muffler and killed it. 🙂 I was about to yank the spark plug and let the water out... But It fired right up after I flipped the kill switch back on. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
