What engine are you putting in your '47?
I have a 50 series I'm restoring, and
need a good suggestion. I've heard of 8hp
Tecumseh w/ electric start.

> It has rained all night and most of the day and Ernesto hasn't even gotten here yet. But on days like this I get caught up on some rainy day jobs. No yardwork or gardening allowed so I have been mostly in the shop. The grease under my fingernails is from a 60-year-old scooter hub. I can't tell what is or isn't wrong with it until I get all of that crud off.
