    Well, I got GOOD NEWS from Steve in Riverview!! He called me today and said that my engine started right up with a little sanding on the points and that it ran VERY well. He said that it had good compression and that he was going to rebuild the carb, put in new coils and replace the water pump. He was able to get the shifter and tiller throttle handle to loosen up and said that it looked like they were never lubricated properly. I’m really excited about getting a 56 year old engine running again after 22 years of sitting in the garage.
