Many companies get away with this because the time between legal malfeasance and legal punishment can be decades; thus they do get away with it because they get the money, cause the headache, then get some bankruptable slap on the wrist....
        That's the way I took your info in that post. And THANKS for that.

            • Time to build a carb


              all cleaned and on the new base



              I modified the base for boost-reference, so I had to 'fix' that


              I know the PO reads this, so normally I don't point stuff like this out - but really, stop it.


              should look like this


              my favorite, bare wire to nowhere.. think it's a horn wire..


              tempted to one-wire this


              'the right hose' yeah, no... oh well, I was looking forward to building another upper hose out of stainless


              this is probably too close to rice, but I like these gauges because they're easy to read

                    • Carb assembly

                      and a problem - the base uses a lever that turns on the body of the carb... which isn't on the proform body


                      so now I wait for another base...

                      but it still works for what I need right now - wire routing and fuel system building


                      the pump

                      first step is to pull the tank apart so I can install - 8 feed lines and cap the other lines that I won't be using.

                      pump will go here...


                      oil sender installed


                      and wiring commences

                        Hickory? Oh yeah, it's all good.

                        You know hickory so you might appreciate this. We hired a talented Amish fellow to do all the trim in our dining room. Its central to the house, has an open staircase in it as well as 6 doorways and a window, plus the crown molding and the baseboard trim. He asked about color and wife states she wishes it to match the big dining room table, which is a hickory stain on some other workable wood.

                        I had mercy at this point and made sure he understood that he could use whatever species he wished, just the stain needed to be a close match. Bless him, he said Hickory itself was no problem.

                        He wiped out every vendor in town for drill bits to predrill little holes for trim nails.

                        • and now you have molding that will last for eternity - heck, if you ever get that big quake they expect from the New Madrid fault, the molding will hold your house together.
