[Rhodes22-list] auxilliary motor

[Bruce Chisholm]

Gary
     May I offer an alternative. How about we meet halfway in between? I 
estimate somewhere between eastern Ohio and western Pennsylvania. This 
would give you the opportunity to see the engine as well as start it and 
hear it run. I have a plastic tub I can bring to use as a test tank. 
Also, I'm throwing in a spare prop, owners manual, a three gallon gas 
tank, toolkit, and an engine stand. I'm attaching a picture showing the 
engine on its stand. I can take more detailed pictures if you like. You 
game for a road trip?
