Remember reading how some cultures treat tools almost like family? Like they have a spirit you're supposed to respect. Makes you think.

Wow, that actually feels really good to hear they're taking steps like that.

My neighbor Joe's lawnmower last spring was doing the exact same thing, just sputtering and dying. I watched the fuel line and saw those little air bubbles traveling up to the carb, and it clicked. It's all about the steady feed, just like your kid's bike chain. I spent twenty minutes looking for a clogged jet before I saw the cracked fuel line connector. Fixed the leak and it ran smooth. It's funny how the simple stuff you see every day gives you that lightbulb moment for the complicated machines.
