Was this the first start after a rebuilding, or after a long period of disuse? Was it running OK before the new points, condenser etc? Unlikely as it seems, I experienced three new defective condens

What a pain it is to have both electrical and fuel issues to sort out! Have you checked to see if all the disintegrated gasket has been removed from the float bowl passage to the jet? Maybe a partic

I would go to a boat canvas shop first, and awning maker second, then a sewing notions or fabric shop next. Zippers are commonly used for sail covers, bimini tops, etc. Bob On Tue, 14 Aug 2001 19:56

I suspect that available liners have an ID of the standard piston size. Since the wrench doesn't want to have a std piston in one hole and larger pistons in other holes, he wants to line them all fo

Hi Skip, It's nice to hear from you. I feared that you had taken retirement (or refuge) from the list. How about the possibility of other, undetected cracks being present if one is known to exist? Do
