Yeah, I wish I was up in Monroe with my tool box but I don't want to push my luck.
I've already changed the oil and fixed the "new" carb.
Gaskets and leakdown tester should be here tomorrow. Amazon is great!
I'll change the plugs as I test the cylinders.
Hopefully it's as simple (and cheap) as a bent pushrod or two.

Well it wouldn't be so hard if you'd just not take those 2 days off, Greg.

Ya I saw it on Friday but I didn't have my camera on me at the time, and by the time I was taking pictures on Sat I didn't see it. I think Dan (7283-F250) took a pic of it though.
