[Rhodes22-list] Motor report.

[Bob Keller]

Rummy,I had some guy do a rebuild on it and I think he screwed the pooch.  Never had a problem until he messed with it.  After that, neither he nor another guy could get the pin to seat so I had to get a new carb.  Never going back to that guy again...BK
