Subject: [SEL] Maytay Engine - Need Help

Folks a friend of mine purchased a set of the Maytag Tractor Plans from
me and built this tractor:

He has run it in several parades and said it does great EXCEPT each time
he hits a pothole, or a good bump, such as going over a railroad track,
the engine dies. He can easily restart it and it runs fine until he hits
another bump.

He wanted me to ask the gang on the SEL if they had any ideas of what
was happening (probably associated with the ball seat) and what
solutions, if any, you might have.

Thanks for the help.

Paul
