Is the whisker good or bad?? If its good leave em I guess?? If it's bad do like 57 does witt his legs shave em!
 So you got those older machines down pat now eh? Great!

[glenn57]

I have to shave my legs..gotz more hair on dem then on top of thee ole noggin!!!!!

[Boar]

Whiskering is the roots are starting to show out the waterd end of the tater. Iit costs me 8 bucks and a bag of fish to get the first one going, 75 bucks to get that bigger one going, got it home and was running fine, then started to bog down and sputter and choke out kinda, thinking carb has some junk go thru it or crudy left over gas, or float stickin a little but it came out of it.
