Sick dog?

My dad recently bought an older dog that has tested positive for heart worms. I’ve read about different treatments for this. My vet said to put him on a preventative because the test only showed three dots on it. We always gave our dogs 1/10 of a cc of ivomec bought at the feed store as a preventative but I’ve read this doesn’t kill adult worms. I also read it does but when they die it can kill the dog too. I know the vet can treat the dog but it is done with arsenic and can also kill the dog. So as y’all can see, I’m very confused…any help? Thanks

Anyone still into CB radios

Went by my moms house to drop off my lil one last night and finally picked up my dads old radios he used to use before he passed a couple of years ago.. Hope fully I’m gonna get one/some of them up and running in the shop just for old times sake.. I used to dabble with them when I was a teen (our cell phones back in the day)..

Here is a shot of them as I put them in the shop to get them out of the back of the truck..

Sold the King

Well that didn’t take long to sell. Sold it in one day. It was worth tearing it down and doing a frame up cleaning job and making it look like new for sure as it sold for top dollar..Sold it for more than I paid for it two years ago,,,can’t beat that. I even delivered it,,,it was a trip for sure but he paid me 50 cents a mile and I traveled over 500 miles round trip to outside Pittsburgh today. Good profit in that hauling stuff for sure as my gas was 50.00 used…not bad at all!

Now I can pay off my mortgage finally and be free and clear again..Then I will find something to rebuild and fix up for me to do my plowing and hunting…maybe I will get lucky and find an old Foreman in decent shape. Nice to have things go our way now and again.:)

leave blower question

OK SO< I know this is an ATV site, but motors are motors LOL
I bought a Ryobi 43 cc 2 stroke backpack blower last November, ran good then started to run like crap, every time I shut the thing off, it would run like crap for 5 minutes then run fine
after a few weeks of this I took it back and they gave me a new one
last few days been using it again, and having same issues

the issue’;s being when it starts fine cold, runs fine hot, untill I shut it off, add fuel or just shut it off
I get a LOT of air pressure releasing every time I open the fill cap, ?? actually some times will NOT start unless I open the cap to let air in.pressure out!
NOW< it will start in 2 pulls after I open the cap, BUT will run like crap, idle/rev’s up and down at will, will bog or rev when applying throttle, OR stall if I give it too much, then and ONLY after I ran it for a while, it will run funny every time I tild the motor, like its starves for fuel then gets too much, or the likes
BUT after running for 5 minutes it great again!

here is what I have tried! and sure are right

fuel is good and mixed right
spark plug, teied new one’s and old obne’s look fine?? doesn’t change anything at all
air filter is clean
treied running with gas cap on and off when it acts up, make s NO difference!?
again this is my second one with same issue’s(has a 2 yr warranty, 1+ left LOL)
when it runs it runs great
only have issuesd when I shut it off and then for 5 minutes after I start it back up, and will do so, hot or almost cold!(running for just 5 minutes or so)

any idea’s

other than live with it??
