Apart — Kevin at the dock, Jenny at the north cliffs

Midday at the dock and cliffs

Kevin is at the dock with the dinghy ready but engine dead; Jenny is descending from the north cliffs toward the cottage.

Kevin crouches on the dock, dismantling the carburetor bowl of the Yanmar engine to check for a blockage, while Jenny works on the northern cliffs, documenting the morphology of Crassula in her notebook as the tide recedes from the rocky shore.

🔧 Kevin — alone at the dock

You crouch by the Yanmar, pull the spark plug to check for spark against the block, and crank the engine slow with the cord. The plug is dry. You set it aside and reach for the carburetor drain screw.

Kevin — crouch by the Yanmar, pull the spark plug, crank slow with the cord to check for spark against the block — plug dry, set aside, reach for the carburetor drain screw

💭 peek at the thought

Dry plug means no fuel reaching the cylinder. Float needle I filed should seat clean, but maybe the bowl's empty or the main jet's blocked. Drain screw'll tell me if fuel's even getting this far.

Kevin — open the carburetor drain screw, watch fuel dribble out — bowl's filling, float needle holding; close the drain screw, reach for the 10mm wrench to drop the bowl

💭 peek at the thought

Fuel dribbles from the drain screw — bowl's filling, float needle's holding. So fuel's reaching the carburetor. Main jet or pilot circuit blocked, or the choke plate isn't sealing. Could be the emulsion tube. Need to pull the bowl and look.

🌿 Jenny — alone at the north cliffs

You pick your way down the cliff path, the wind pushing against you, the notebook secure in your pack. The chick's cries fade behind you. The cottage roof shows through the trees ahead.

Stay right there, little thing.

Walk toward the cottage and look for Kevin.

💭 peek at the thought

I need to check the water level before the tide turns, and Kevin's probably starting to get restless.

Kevin?

Step onto the dock and check the Yanmar.

💭 peek at the thought

The sky is getting heavy; that pressure is going to drop before the boat arrives.
