> 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.
