Thanks,

Steve

All I can offer is this piece of tidbit...

Don't start up IN the garage.... the wife didn't find the exhaust smoke as amusing as I did...

Great advice...Actually heard of someone doing something similar and ended up burning his house down....my wife has already instructed me to pull it out into the driveway...and I've got a fire extinguisher handy!!
