I'm leaving for Florida in a few days from the WI border. I have a Midget I keep down there as my driver, and this year am dismantling a spare motor I  keep down there. Where is your son located? I should have some time to troubleshoot.

Gary & Ron,

I'll be in the Winter Garden area in early January.  Winter Garden is about
an hour from Leesburg.

If Ron hasn't already checked it out for you I may have time to help
depending on my schedule.

Keep me posted.

Kevin
Tuscarora, Pa

&gt;=C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 I am at a loss at this time. =
My 1959 bugeye was sitting for 7 years in storage. I got it running<br>
&gt;=C2=A0 =C2=A0 in two days and thought everything was fine. Did put in e=
