I seen your video on that. That did not look easy getting that out of there. I love your pickaroon I'm going to have to find some scrap aluminum at work and bend one up.

Morning everyone, Work during the day then house chores later on.

It's got OEM points and condenser. I replaced the points and condenser and coil when I got it it came from a Troy Bilt horse tiller my dad had. He said that it was bad and would only run 15 min before it would randomly die so he put a newer briggs on it. I took it and the muffler was loose and...

Yes, unless like I said the charging system is malfunctioning and it quits midair after the voltage drops from the malfunction. When you jump start you effectively charge a dead battery. If the charging system is bad it will continue to run until the battery drops below the voltage required for...

Looks like to me it's a heavy leaner and is getting "bore" cut by a long bar.

Is it just me or is a plane with a previously dead battery flying off into the sunset kinda scary. What if the charging system was the cause of said dead battery?

Where's the wash plant at? You look like your up there working with Freddy Dodge and Rick Ness. In all seriousness though everything looks good well maintained.

Morning Todd hope everything is going good. Drinking coffee.

Thank you I will do that

Oh cool I didn't know I could do that. I can do that at work on the lathe.

Thank you I'll see where that goes. Yeah just an old gear dive to have fun with.
