It was all ready to eat at 11 am . At 3:30 in the evening , all that was left over was the smell . I had family and FRIENDS from all across the USA as well as from Brazil and Bulgaria attend for the one day event . Now that I am getting old and grey ( very little hair ) , I`m just not up to it any more although I do get request a lot from family and friends to have it again . Maybe once we get back to normal and not have to worry about catching a deadly virus , I may reconsider . You can go to this site and see all of the people , eats and fun <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/bohinch/albums/72157707656621764">https://www.flickr.com/photos/bohinch/albums/72157707656621764</a><o:p></o:p></p></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div><div><p class=MsoNormal>On Thu, Feb 17, 2022 at 12:02 PM <<a href="mailto:drgerber@bright.net">drgerber@bright.net</a>> wrote:<o:p></o:p></p></div><blockquote style='border:none;border-left:solid #CCCCCC 1.0pt;padding:0in 0in 0in 6.0pt;margin-left:4.8pt;margin-right:0in'><div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Calibri Light",sans-serif'>Bo: I purchased and read your book.

Fuel , Fire & Compression . Well , middle of December , my ez-go golf cart just gave up running where I normally park it . The little old 2 cyl. Robbins engine is pretty well worn out ( fouls spark plugs ) so about every 6 months they need changing . So off I go to Orellies for 2 new plugs , return home and put them in . It starts and runs for about 5 seconds then dies . I know that it has gas because I put 5 gallons in the week before it quits . I check the fire which is good , stick my finger into the plug hole to check for compression which it does have a little , so me being the smart 82 year old man I am ( almost 83 ) , I find and purchase a used motor ( it was delivered in a 55 gallon drum with the top cut off ) and due to the cold weather ( 45 & 50 * ) I put of installing it . <o:p></o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'>Now if you don`t know me , I have been a mechanic all my life and owned my on business for the last 25 years before retiring and selling it . In the latter part of 2020 , I began writing a short story of my life ( My Dreams as a Small Child ) which my daughter thought was very good and then had it published through Amazon which turned out to be 199 pages . In this story I told all about my experiences as a mechanic and how a man with a ninth grade education , conquered his dreams .<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'>So , yesterday evening while watching my son weld on a jet boat and thinking of what someone recently posted about the three things needed for a motor to run, I`m sitting there thinking the weather is getting warm and I need to make an attempt to replace the Robbins motor , I got off of my dead butt , walked over to the golf cart and thought I would give it one more try before making the swap-out . Sprayed some starting fluid in the intake ( don`t know if it was 30 % or 70 % either ) but low and behold , It started and ran as long as I sprayed , looked at the fuel filter and couldn't see any fuel moving thru so my thoughts now is a bad fuel pump . So , before changing that out , I thought I would stick a stick into the tank just to make sure it was full like it was supposed to be and guess what ? It was completely empty . This morning , I went and got fresh gas , filled the tank and in about 30 seconds , it was making music to my ears . Someone had stole the gas one night ( which happens often where I live ) and made me look pretty bad as a mechanic . If you would of told me that is something that you did , my response would be , MECHANIC my ASS and PLEASE don`t tell anyone else as this is kind of embarrassing , you know what I mean .<o:p></o:p></p></div></div></div></div><p class=MsoNormal>_______________________________________________<br>AT mailing list<br><a href="mailto:AT@lists.antique-tractor.com" target="_blank">AT@lists.antique-tractor.com</a><br><a href="http://lists.antique-tractor.com/listinfo.cgi/at-antique-tractor.com" target="_blank">http://lists.antique-tractor.com/listinfo.cgi/at-antique-tractor.com</a><o:p></o:p></p></blockquote></div></div></body></html>
