Did everything I could think of the get the tiller to run without taking the carb off, no joy. The carb is laying on the table saw right now, has a bunch of crud in the fuel filter, probably why it wouldn't suck gas up. I'm done for today. I'll put it back together tomorrow if I can figure out how the linkages go back together.

Cell phone camera is awesome for stuff like that. Although probably too late now. But maybe you can find some schematics online.

Ran upon a nice mid-century piece at a " barn sale " . It's a 1950's , German made kitchen scale.......a " Stube ". I'm no collector , it was just a random stop. I haven't zeroed it yet , but the weights measured were still accurate. Many nice things made back then .......real craftsmanship. For 30 smakers, I didn't even barter.

My wife came in from the patio and said she thought she heard a bird in the old unused raingutter downpipe, so I went out with a hacksaw and cut it off down at the bottom and sure enough there was a bird stuck down there. I went and got my bamboo backscratcher and put it down in the pipe and lifted the bird out of the pipe and it flew off
It's the white pipe by the bird feeder in this older pic
Later, I got up a ladder with my chainsaw to trim my apple tree in the backyard

I've "saved" 2 birds this winter...a woodpecker and a Chickadee, both knocked themselves out flying into a window because I have my feeders on my back patio too...Probably too close to my windows. Here's the Chickadee waking up, saying WTF happened dude???? They both flew off after 5-10 minutes in the sun.

This bird looked like a very young junco
Two birds crashing into my window would make me think about how to keep them from doing so

Pretty sure it's a Black capped Chickadee...I almost have them eating out of my hand. I feed them a few peanuts every day and about a dozen appear when I shake the peanut container.
Black-capped Chickadee Identification, All About Birds, Cornell Lab of Ornithology
A bird almost universally considered “cute” thanks to its oversized round head, tiny body, and curiosity about everything, including humans. The chickadee’s black cap and bib; white cheeks; gray back, wings, and tail; and whitish underside with buffy sides are distinctive. Its habit of...

But yeah, I need to move all my patio feeders...This is my first year feeding them, and I thought I was doing them a favor keeping the feeders under cover.
There's actually a lot of dangers to feeding birds. Disease is more likely to spread, and feeders also attract predator birds looking for an easy meal.
I did put some stickers on my patio windows that seem to have helped, and have relocated a few of my feeders much further away from my house.

I meant the bird I rescued from the pipe looked like a young Junco- the one in your pic is a black-capped Chickadee for sure, we have those here as well. The Juncos and Chickadees are winter birds here. The Juncos generally prefer to feed on seed spilled on the ground, but we've been keeping the spilled seed swept up to avoid attracting mice/rats

They make stickers to put on your windows so that birds don’t fly into them .
I still have one sheet of them.
There are many different designs available.

We have a hummingbird feeder that sticks onto the outside (duh) of the kitchen window- there's a male rufous hummer that likes to perch on it and watch me wash dishes

I finished trimming the apple tree today
I decided to eschew the chainsaw in favor of my campsaw and it went really well, which is to say I didn't need any band-aids like yesterday
