Other than small engine (which is being replaced by battery-electric), what even comes with a carburetor these days? Cars/trucks are all EFI.
He seems the guy I'd send to change the spark plugs on a Duramax. IYKYK.
PS - I'd have him check the tensioning on the muffler belt and the blinker fluid levels. Oh, its' October. I'd have him swap out to winter air in the tires too.
lol
We used to have the newbies at work call the parts houses for plugs on a diesel engine.
You’d be surprised how many they’d call before either A figuring it out or B the parts guy telling them.
We ARFF guys played that trick on the EPFD guys when they took over airport firefighting duties.
We would ask them what type of aircraft a CGU11, or a B1RD were. What was funny was that they actually thought it was a real aircraft and tried to explain it to us.
In the AF we would tell one stripers to get us 100 ft. of Flightline or 5 gallons of Prop Wash.

When I showed her the bottle and said look, it says it right here, she said oh, where do you check the levels? I don't think I need any because my blinkers work fine.
I love sneaking up on her and scaring her. I may wake up dead some morning. We were looking for an air hose attachment last Saturday and I reached way up under a table in my storage room, she was standing beside me as I knelt down. When I reached my arm under the table I screamed as loud as I could and threw myself under the table. She screamed, jumped about 10 feet and took off running into the house. Never a dull moment.
ah...true love....
