Hi Andy,
Thanks for the suggestions.  I will certainly give them a try.  I now have the throttle linkage rebuilt.  Hope to get it back on in the next week.  After this is complete, will carefully time the engine.  Rigt now I am not sure if it is timed to an optinum value since I had the magneto off for rebuilding and just installed it at about the middle of the adjustment.  I am in the process of rebuilding my timing light which went down at an inoperate time.  After all this is done, I plan to do the starting and stopping with Marvel Mystery Oil and Rislone.  I need also to take the temperature gage off and check it to see if it is working properly.

Progress will be a little slow since we are in full preparation for our spring field work.  Once again, thanks for all your fine help and that from other folks.

John H.
