Did another session outside and nausea is gone. Still tired and slightly dizzy, but pretty sure I’ll be fine. I’ve had a lot of time around fumes, first time it made me sick.
Yes. It sucked into house. I found wife sleeping in steps. Co2 alarms going off. We were both so confused we agreed to go to sleep and the alarms must be faulty.
I had a moment of clarity after that discussion and opened house doors. Then dragged wife out. We laid in yard in snow a long long time before we had the wear with all to get in our car and leave. Drove to my parents
you read that right. We were so confused and tired we figured the alarms were broken and we needed to go to sleep.
Drink some water and take your pulse. Take it again in 10-15 minutes.
How dangerous is 2-stroke exhaust? All those older snowmobiles smoked like crazy on cold starts. Fills the garage with dense smoke even with the doors wide open.

I ran my snowmobile in my closed shop just last night. It was only for a minute and it filled the 24x36 building pretty quick.
I went to the hospital for CO poisoning a few years back. We were running a concrete saw in a basement with the windows open. The windows didn't help. I had the urge to vomit for a couple hours but was barely able to puke at all.
Hospital put me on a saline drops for a couple hours and urged me to the hyperbaric chamber. I declined.
They say Hypoxia is the best way to go.... peaceful. That scares the crap out of me because your mind decides for you before you even get the notion that you need to fight.
Lumpy cammed 351w, tinkering with the edelbrock 600 to get that perfect staccato thump at idle through the flowmasters... garage door up so no problem... cold-ish humid day... backed in garage so exhaust blowing on the back wall... no major problems but I shut it off, went inside the house weak and retarded as fuck and passed out for a few ours sitting upright on the couch. Had a headache all evening after I woke up, and exhausted (lol) for the rest of the day.
It ain't no joke.
I breath diesel fumes all day
no problems other than a little brain damage.
Flesheater, glad to hear you're doing better and were able to identify the situation and what was going on.
For those who dont know, its rich air/fuel mixtures that create CO. Lean or stoic mixtures create very little to no CO. A functioning catalytic converter will clear up excess CO to almost zero even if it's running slightly rich.
Poke, that's a hell of a story man, glad you and yours are okay. Your symptoms almost sound like hypoxia, that's scary stuff!

So this thread is a little scary. I have a pellet stove with a CO alarm nearby. It is pretty much useless unless I have my hearing aids on so I need something that will flash intensely or a bitch slapper type thing that would slap me awake. Any real aggressive alarms out there?
I totally agree and anybody who ever has the barndominium dream, I always wonder how well they thought it through.This is the perfect description of the feelings and responses. Definitely not a joke.
Attached garages are fucking dangerous especially if intakes or furnaces are in them..
It happens fast while you are getting slower

I could rig up a wireless Shock Collar, and the transmitter is connected to the CO sounder circuit![]()
