[SEL] New acquisition

[Richard Strobel]

Larry, do you know or ever type at Chris Kirk on Harry's?  He does LeRoi's 
and I think he has a two lunger.  Mine is only a single and stuck big time. 
My other LeRoi is a 4 cyl. OHV and it's a good runner.

  I'll try to find out his email address..probably could do a search on 
Harry's also.

Once again the engine cover looks very similiar to my Novo Rollr's cover, 
complete with hinged hasp.

LeRoi manuals show up now and then on ebay.  I've got a few and will check 
them out today.

There are several others who do LeRoi's, but can't remember their name.

The thumbnails work ok for me and I got one of the slowest dialuups on the 
list.

later pard.
RickinMt.
