Good morning Jim.

        You might be wondering about the Subj: ???   Well I got the little
  4 HP running yesterday, in a barrel of water, of course, the tide was
  out about 1 mile. I might have mentioned that I took the carburetor off
  last autumn and had it in an acid bath to clean the jets as it was not
  idling too good, if at all, and then too fast still. Now that did it, it
  idles at 500-600 rpm and smooth as silk. Nice music it is to my
  ears. This 1986 ( ? ) model was ever so slightly used because of a
  manufacturing fault.

        Now is the time to start on your project so you can run it outside
  otherwise, S. will be on your back for smoking up the basement. Is yours
  the old cap and coil system of were they already going the sealed pack
  ignition type already ? That spark can jump nearly two feet, be careful.

        Be good.

     
 Where I sit today, I can almost see the
  North pole.   The Thinkpad is in use again.
