Give me times. I don't know your schedule and I'm liable to remember
this email and call at 03:00 without even looking at a clock.
Reply directly to me rather than to the list. You have an address that
gets mangled by the list (yahoo, sbc, etc) so I can't pick it out for a
direct reply.
Thanks,
Gerald

Subject: [tcb] Engine needed
This is for a local guy who has a VW powered trike.
Here are the plugs:
http://texasvolksbus.org/plugs/
I haven't bothered to pull the heads yet. The
motor is completely
seized. Big wrench with my big ass on it doing a gentle
bounce and not
even a twitch. I dumped some MMO in the plug holes and still
nothing in
either direction.
As the plugs show, he was running it lean. He
said it ran good then it
lost power and he got somebody to help him re-time it
and adjust the
carburetor and it ran good again for a while. So, I suspect they
were
running with advanced timing, burned a valve or two, advanced the
timing
some more to get the power back, then burned a hole in #1 piston
or completely
destroyed the exhaust valve.
When they couldn't get it to start again he left
it sit for about 18
months.
So, I am looking for a good price on, in the
following order
All dual port doghouse. Remember, this is pushing a trike,
plain 1600
is plenty of power.
A *NEW* build of a turnkey motor minus the
generator and tin
A known good motor with reasonably low hours since built
new
A fresh rebuilt with no core and some sort of warranty.
A clean known
good motor.
We are in 77656, if you reply please let me know your zip so I
can
guesstimate shipping/pick up costs.
Thanks,
G2
