Australians to face age checks from search engines

🚀💥 "Scientists" propose a trip to #Sedna with #nuclear #engines and solar sails, evidently ignoring that we can't even keep a #Mars #rover going without a flat tire. Meanwhile, actual humans are still waiting for their nuclear-powered hoverboards and flying cars. 🌌🙄

The more we can deliver, the more resources we consume.
Animals "use efficiency to catalyze sprawl. […] The road to degrowth will require drastic social change."

The spread of renewable energy hasn’t slowed the growth of fossil fuels consumption. The horizontal axis shows the world’s consumption of renewable energy, which has grown dramatically since 1965. (Note the log scale.) Unfortunately, over the same period, global fossil fuel use continued to expand (vertical axis).

This is an 1987 sickle bar mower. It features a 3HP Kawasaki FA130D engine. I welded the handle ~10 years ago for the previous owner. They have no need for it anymore (but now I do) and it was stored for 5 years.

I filled the tires, swapped the oil (it was black but not too bad) and the spark plug and put in the correct air filter (previously featuring a way to small kitchen sponge...).

It turns over and "worked perfectly last time it was used".

Right now there is no spark and compression (from what I can tell from the pull cord) is not tooo strong. Looking into the spark plug hole its quite dirty in there.

So I need to take apart the generator/spark gap etc. and check what is going on there and measure compression to know if I need to clean/reseat the valves.

I am not sure how to check if the injection thingy works correctly. I guess I need to separate it from the engine to find the part that drives it. Hopefully it delivers gas...

Any suggestions? Anyone familiar with those #Kawasaki #engines?
