Is it not possible to let this thing about Joan and Mario go? It's bad enough trying to wade through the spam, and now this problem arises...... How do...

It's getting cold so I'm doing curious stuff like taking things apart. (There's nothing more dangerous than a fool like me with tools!) So, I have a Weber DCOE from years back. It's got an enrichening circuit for starting. And I have a spare Weber IDF40 I'm getting ready to sell. So, I did a...
