[modeleng] Re: Anybody out there?

Man, I thought I had a lot of irons in the fire! Good to be busy though.

I've never seen a ST P5 gas/petrol engine. Is there a photo anywhere on the
web?

Does it have ignition or carb troubles, do you think?

Patrick Coppens was working a few weeks back on a big Bang & Snort (Briggs &
Stratton) engine. How's it coming Patrick?

Cheers Jeff
