Didn't get a whole lot done yesterday. I had done a hydrometer check of the batteries, expecting them to be nice and even, and in fact they showed some serious stratification. So, with the rainy cloudy weather setting in I decided to run the generator... And it wouldn't start... Seems the condensation had fouled it up... Spent quite a good while trying to start it with no success... Pulled the spark plug, tried to clean it, about 10 times. Eventually on Pat's advice I drained the fuel system and cleaned out all the possible places that the fuel could get clogged or warterlogged and tried to start it about ten more times and finally it ran... So we recharged the batteries up and equalised them, and I spent the rest of the day lying in, wishing that I could get over a sore stomach and achey glands. Pretty sure it isn't the bird flu, just winter in Huelo...
