Hi Wayne!!!!

Ha ha I don't know about nutshells the damned thing was in a field
in two feet of snow for a month or so.

I just wanted to say I enjoy the "how to" pictures of your tail stock
build.

Great lathe hand as well. (Gotta teach em young) I was about 50
when I learned to do what that dear young gal is doing.

Thanks

My neighbour asked me to see if I could get his Sears snow blower
going. Had a good mild day so I went at it in two feet of snow in
his
back yard. First, there is plenty of gas but no spark to speak of
just
a tingle when I complete the cct between the plug wire and ground.
Seems as if there might be a short to ground or magneto problems.

Are there any really common faults to look for?
