G'Morning Tom and Fellow (and non-Fellow, ahem!) Digesters,

Sounds like the "Older & Wiser Tom" has arrived! Soon, Hoffs proverbs will begin

: Then, with the wires in what I believed to be the "correct" spot (#1 
: pointing at the vertical water pipe from the water pump, right?), I 

Dunno, I'll check my manual in a bit... gotta read it anyhow! ;-)

: cranked.. and then punched the throttle (Oops, needs a return spring 
: still).  It burped!

motor transplanted into T-all?  Minor nuances.  Maybe a few gotchas!

Ditto...  I'll e-mail direct if I see anything concrete.

: Oh well, it almost ran.. 

Your T-all is ahead of mine! %^}

Later,
