Last I checked it wasn't a competition.

Sorry you didn't enjoy it because you had already seen it.

I think Bob C's link was in humor, that's all.

I'm just curious, why did you choose #3?

Does that increase your mileage 4 fold?

Did I?

Hmmmm.... Maybe .....subconsciously? (3 does permeate our lives)

3 Spacial Dimensions?
Holy Trinity?
3.14 is pi (and pie is always good) ?
3 (III) is Giant Star in Yerkes Spectral Classification?
It comes after Ah One and Ah Two?
First Odd Prime number (and I'm Odd)?
3 Stooges?
3 Musketeers?
3 Bears?
Tale of 3 Cities?
I like 3?
And I believe in the power of 3. (The combined power of three is not only threefold but much greater)


But in reality.... it was because I grounded 1 & 2 and the guy that was helping me is dyslexic and grounded 3. (which was 4...leaving three)


I know... I go back and record each cylinder... then compose and mix down the "suck squeeze bang blow symphony".

I think it decreases power by 1/4 and sends 3/4 of the gasoline into the muffler -

Things get really interesting when the muffler decides to become another combustion chamber -

Why don't you warn em all that if you got a model A with a near as brass lead throwing a spark and a dude with a pace maker leaning near to watch out.

His family might sue you.

I doubt if the deliverance fella with the barb wires has an electronic ignition.

Lighten up.

thats funny dog and
Mr Wzrd make sure you check for fuel in the crankcase .

[MrWzrd]

I just checked. There's plenty of fuel in the crankcase.
It's a winter mix - 25% oil, 25% antifreeze, 25% gasoline, 20% water, 5% MMO...
I use it in the crankcase and radiator... then I have no worries if I find them in there.

Sounds like an A window shopping.

I'm ON my meds, WITHOUT them, well??????? What doesn't HURT, doesn't WORK
Chief could short out connector straps down to 1 & then kill it, with his bare fingers!!!! He'd even poke his finger in the coil tower to check for spark, BUT he COULDN'T do it on electronic ignition. Bill W.
