Well it looks like I was right the first time, yesterday I was able to pull this animal over to get a comp reading and then to start it, it ran a few seconds then died and in my advanced state of decomposition I was unable to pull it over enough to start it, the guy I got it from (stout young fellow) grabbed it and ripped it over and it fired up and ran poorly for a minute or so and then quit, not having run in 20 years it probably needs a carb kit and cleaning.
Today I tried to start it and all I could pull was one thump at a time, I got it to fire but not to run.
I think the compression has come up from the little we ran it. I will get a D ring starter handle and if that don't work, one of you strong burly men will have to own it.
I did take a bunch of pics today, will get Cheryl to help me post em.

We've been thinking about having another GTG at the Dodgegeek's for a while now. We're not completely set on the date yet, but thought we'd throw out a couple options and ask for your input. Since my sources have indicated July is the best GTG month, here's the two weekend dates in July we're considering:


1) Start July 22 (Friday), hanging out, doing some cutting & stuff, then heading up to the Chisago county Fair at Rush City for some chainsaw races on Saturday. (We're committed to running the chainsaw races, so we'll be at the fair doing this either way)

Or

2) Start July 29 (Friday), and hang out until we're all sick of each other sometime on Sunday, no specific plans other than hanging out & cutting & stuff.


I know it's early, but I'm a bit of a planner on this stuff, so, would love to be able to at least nail down a date.

What say all of you?

I'm in for a gtg. Whenever works for me. I'll be at the races again, so that'll be fun. Had fun last year when you did the gtg the friday before the races.
