[SEL] Biggest part you've lost?

[Best, George]

What's the biggest engine part you've lost?

Last night I thought I'd better get the engine I'm taking to Tulare
ready.  I'm planning on taking my vertical DUX.  When I got the engine
it had no gas tank, so I cobbled up a bracket so I could mount a small
gas tank.  It's a old Clinton mower engine tank about 3.5" in diameter
and 10" long.

A month or two ago I had taken the tank off the engine and put it
somewhere.  Damn if I could find that thing last night.

You'd think in a 24'x30' main shop room and a 12x15' adjoining room that
I could find that darn tank.  Seems to have vanished :-(

Got a few more nights to try to locate it, otherwise I'll just be
running off what the float bowl will hold.

I'm sure we've all lost nuts and bolts and the odd spring or checkball
which went flying when we took something apart only to be surprised that
there was a spring inside waiting to escape.

WAIT George
