[SEL] Fairbanks Morse Dishpan Status

[FRM8198 at aol.com]

Hi List,
Well, the Fairbanks Morse dishpan that I got at Christmas ran today  for the 
first time.  It needed a fuel tank and the magneto required  re-charging.  I 
finished installing the tank and fuel line with check valve  this afternoon.  
Then, I poured some gas into the tank, cranked it over a  few time, and then 
the sweet sound of it chugging away began.
The previous owner told me that the last time this engine ran was  about ten 
years ago.  It was a good thing for me that he had kept the  engine under 
cover for all these years.  It made the job of getting engine  into a running 
condition little easier.
