    Alarm in control box

    Alarm in control box

    i believe the oil alarm was removed when they took the oil tank off. And this was the first time I ran it this season. Last time was in Sept before winter set in. It never had the alarm issue before now.

Lots of corrosion on nearly all the metal and it was extremely dirty inside and out. Lots of leaves, sticks in the interior, and lots of scum and faded gel coat on...
