    Well, she didn't start yesterday. Hopefully it's minor stuff. I got to check on a few things and try again tonight.

    Yes Jimmy, I will post a video.

    Edwardo, it was time. I had to try. :)

    You'll get her goin'

    Be sure you don't forget the engine, gasoline, starter and some other stuff.



    BTW, interesting new signature...someone trying to wear out some lipstick?

    :D

    Speaking of which:

    A good friend told me the proper reply for asking a Scotsman what lies beneath the kilt:

    "Your Mother's lipstick!!!"

    (Scotch in hand, of course)

    Really great Chris, happy to hear it running again! Tough going finding the time as a small business owner, ask how I know, glad you've gotten to this point. Slap some snow tires on and get it out there! Hoping for global warming in your area to allow a drive soon.

    Best,

    Jeff

    congrats !

    after 5 years and 92 pages ...a well deserved result ;)

    what was the "no start" problem in the end ?
    (followed your trouble shooting with Jon over at electromotive but it somehow stalled)

    There are two types of sealing washers: Stat-o-seals and 'thread sealing washers'
    According to McMaster, Stat-o-seal is for screws and bolts, to be used under fastener heads.
    The 'thread sealing washers' are to be used under nuts and washers.

    Does it really matter?

    Thanks guys. I really appreciate the kind words.

    There were a lot of emails, phone calls, video chat and homing pigeons used to communicate with friends from all over. I can't Thank them enough for all the help.
