I thought the finish was just fine. Both games were great. Those young fellers are great to watch.

I am lucky. Most of the vehicles that I owned or worked on, when I opened the hood, I could see the engine. Now-a-days it takes a day of disassembly to find the engine.

It could also be a bad gas cap. Try running it with the cap loose.

We like all of the teams north of the border, but for now, Go Avs (Nordiques).

Yup, Wings got another 2 points. On another note, GO AVS!!!!!

Iron Maiden??? Those guys must be like.....90. Never mind, I was thinking of Iron Butterfly.

Awesome engine, nasty to work on. A buddy and I changed head gaskets in his. It took 3 full weekends. A dealer offered us a great deal to repair 2 more. We turned them down. If I can remember right, just the parts was 700.00 15 years ago.

We got 10" of heavy, wet snow. We didn't have to go anywhere and nobody was stopping. I left it alone because the driveway is soft. This morning the driveway is almost clear.

A lot of people cutting firewood and pulp with 290, 310 and 390 around here. They do the job.

That's got to be my most favorite movie ever.

Yes. Get him to teach you. A retired welding inspector, from a large manufacturing company, taught me more in 5 minutes than high school did in 9 weeks. He would give me some pieces to weld together. He would break them apart and tell me how it failed, then tell me how to fix it. He told me not...

If the engine is a Briggs, the model and spec number is on the valve cover. If the valve cover is blank, perhaps it was installed upside down after servicing the valves. Check to see if the letters ohv on the front of the cover are right side up.

I finished my wife's work bench today. What's on her bench? A small sampling of valor quilts that she has been involved with making.

I use Timber Savage files. They seem to last as long as the old swiss files.

Google the engine model number that is on the valve cover. There are replacement carbs listed by engine number.
