[AT] test

[Cecil R Bearden]

Those HF engines can't be any worse than the New B&S engine on the Pacer 
pump I bought a few years back.  I bought one to build a fire rig with.  
It worked fine once, than the flywheel magnest got a little rust on them 
and it would never run right.  I lost a van full of parts because it 
would not start...  This seems to be the problem with the pointless 
ignition.  Pointless is right!!!
