Hmm.. I guess I won't be then... 'till I can schedule some time with a
friend of mine...

See, the only air compressor I have is the on-board York, mounted on the 304
now (shoulda left it on the 196, and had a full blown stationary
comrpessor!)... so it would be "fill tank" and then tear motor apart.  d'oh.

Wasn't there a rope trick too?... seems Mike Shaw had a problem with it
tho'... ;)

I'll stick with the carb for tonight then! :)

Thanks, Steve.

OK, so I finally have the welder... now the compressor moves back up on the
"big toys to buy" list...
