Truce?? I have spent thousands of hours fixing up old crap, in fact I still have a 50's vintage West Bend motor that I put on my first go-kart at 12. And now that I am almost broke I spend some time almost every day keeping my own old "junk" functioning. I mined in Bolivia for three years so every week we had to patch up some old POS to keep operating. My first foray in fixing cars was a 37 Ford flat back in about 1960. Paid $35.00 and sold it for $75.00. Most of the exotics that I owned were bought damaged and I fixed them up in the body shop that I owned for years. I have a 1974 35' Bertram that needs constant care and nobody else ever touches it, including rebuilding the 454's and Borg Warner gears. So you are wrong about the Briggs and Stratton. I paid for my go-karts and my Francis Barnett 175 by working in a lawn mower shop and my paper route. Cheers. PS: Please try to be a bit more polite in your initial responses.
