The CMP was in a bad mood today. The day at Port High started with the starter motor being placed back on to see if the flywheel would work. We crossed our fingers and hoped. We were repaid in kind, it cranked over. Since that worked, lets try the spark plugs....fiddle with the order until we got it right and we have spark!!! Now lets pour some gas in the carb and see if we get a bang.......nothing....again...nothing. Ok, let's try quick start.....we got a bang. But not with the gas.....the spark plugs are bone dry. So tomorrow we try to spray a little gas into the spark plug holes, and hope. If not then we start the process of compression tests and all that other stuff.

Instead of calling it a day the students replaced the clutch plate and put the transmission back on.

Hey Bob

Is that ring gear still available. We tried to repair the old ring gear and it just broke after the engine started. NAPA does not have any and will not have any for a minimum 2 -3 weeks. Even then they might not. Please let me know what it would cost....we only have about 2 1/2 weeks of school left and the students want to get the truck working and the body back on. I don't know if the Post Office is an option because of the chance of strike. Maybe Fedex or UPS.

Will check in the barn tonite....... pretty sure I have a couple....

Best bet is to ship by Grey hound between two sheets of plywood..... you cover shipping the flywheel is free. Will weight it tonite and get a Grey hound quote tomorrow.

The flywheel will not doubt need resurfacing of the clutch contact area by a local machine shop.... just checked Ottawa transmission.....takes about 6 hours and cost is $75.00

If everything checks out will ship Monday a.m.

Hang in there.

PS.... when the little girl at the counter tried to lift it over to the scale.... I warned her that it was heavy.... 39 pounds according to by home scale... she looked at it...... said OK 39 pounds...... one of the "goons" snatched it and put it on a cart......

[Joel Culliford]

Awesome, you are the best Bob.

Though I am confused, was it shipped COD and I also owe $46, or was it not shipped COD and I owe $46 dollars?

I might be able to pick it up tonight, hopefully, I have to be in Welland early tomorrow for reenacting display

[Bob Carriere]
