2011 at the Hammond Barn

[Bob Carriere]

While driving the HUP back to the barn I heard a very distinct noise from the rear of the truck that sounded like a rifle shot.

....Rob......Did you see anyone running away after firing a shot at you....?

We are very fortunate to have such warm weather this year....may be cold in the morning but it his been in the mid teen every day...... sure will pay for this later one.

Part of the problem with the 261 in Grant's truck was that the dizzy was not in deep enough so the oil pump was not properly engaged..... soon resolved and we had 44 pounds with the old screw driver shaft in the electric drill trick..... sure primes up the oil galleys in a hurry. with the starter.. no plugs got little over 30 pounds.... next time we hookup the coil and see if it sputters.
