> As an example, I started to get my Johnson reassembled.  Then  I found 
> that I
> needed to get the magneto remagnized.  The person does my  magneto work 
> has
> been sick with the flu and pneumonia and will not be able to  get the work 
> done

> Next example is, I have started to get the IHC LB running.  In  trying to

> it running right, I had to grind the valves.  My neighbor has  a seat
> grinder.  However, he couldn't find the correct pilot.  After a  couple of

> Now,
