Reminds me of the time I started the +4 after a winter's worth of
inactivity. The engine started all right but there was evidence of some
back pressure. I depressed the accelerator a bit and a pile of seeds
and a wad of stuffing shot out of the tailpipe: during the winter, a
chipmunk had moved into the tailpipe/muffler. Fortunately, (s)he had
vacated the premises before i started the engine.
