I unscrewed the fuel line from where it goes into the fuel filter (didn’t change out the filter as it was WAY down in there) and turned the key over until what came out was no longer red (was kind of afraid it was going to burn up my starter, but it didn’t flow out when only the battery was on). Filled it up completely and dare I say it runs better now haha I can’t hear that rod knocking anymore.
Good it's working...

The town where we lived in the interior was mandatorily evacuated by a monster fire years ago - we left so fast we forgot shoes for a couple of the kids. I remember the last thing I did was to climb on the roof to nail sprinklers up there & seeing flames well over 100' high as the black spruce trees literally blew up!

How did the sprinklers work for you?
I've have a dream of pluming fire suppression one day.

From Cal Fire:
The first two days of the Jones Fire the Grass Valley Air Attack Base delivered 96,000 gallons of fire retardant. Second only to the Robbers Fire in the history of the Grass Valley Air Attack Base. More gallons than all of last year.

Oh cool! I'm learning so much about California lol. How is your copd with all the smoke?
It's been better, lol. PSA's abound about staying indoors re: heat and smoke. PSA's about curtailing electrical useage. Then the rolling blackouts to "prevent the grid from crashing". Seems like the choice while being a good citizen is to fry outside and screw your lungs or slowly roast inside not using the AC
