Nope, that URL takes me to the 404 error message.  Whether I copy it or
click on it, same result.

I tried pasting the URL into IE, and it asked me to login to google, then
had me verify my account, then took me to the 404 error.

Scott, if the link below gives you the 404 error, just highlight the link,
Ctrl-C to copy it, then load IE, Chrome etc.  and paste it (Ctrl-V) into the
url section of your browser.

When I read this message, I went to the google photos link
(https://photos.google.com/photo/AF1QipM9Q4E_6pDHOIZMI9BMyv6j7yP8go2cz7gl72T
H) to try to see the photo, but all I see is:

"404. That's an error.

The requested URL was not found on this server. That's all we know."

Is this happening to anyone else?  Is anyone else seeing the Google photos?

I've seen this on some previous posts, too.  Never can be sure if it's an
ad-blocker I'm using, or what.

I love pics, I hate missing out on them...

Cecil, converting gas to LP/Natural is one of the easiest projects I have
ever done.  My 15-year old generator was the first to get converted.
Richard Rowe is a walking encyclopedia on LP. He owns the fastest LP powered
race car in the world.

He runs a site called    https://www.propanecarbs.com/      and has kits
available for almost every engine out there.  They are not expensive.  I
just last week refilled the 20lb bottle that sits on the generator frame and
I converted that several years ago.  It never fails to start.

You broke your back?  At 17?    Ouch.   I would love to know how
differently I would be feeling today had I not had back surgery.    I am in
constant pain and control it using Methadone.

I'll let you know how the LP conversion goes.
