"alone and very slow"--hey, that sounds like me..he, he,,..
its tough to get work done when you need to do everything yourself, and answer the phone, and get parts.,etc,..
Any photos to post? It would be great to see an all clean brand new engine. Mine is still unstripped and dirty as hell.
My blower is in the shop getting worked on. I go and inspect it in two days. It's getting sand blasted and then a black crackle finnish coating before being fully rebuilt.
I need some exciting news as I sometimes get a little down on my progress so it'd be great to see and hear from someone a little down the track from me.
