Title: People of Ebay
Post by: john e. holliday on December 02, 2013, 07:59:05 AM: Hey fellows and ladies, check out the following item on the bay if it doesn't get pulled. Item 331078354274. No it is not mine and I know better if you look close. Maybe it is the new super stunt. LL~ LL~ LL~

I thought you knew!

Since the modeller who owned the motor would never do this I have figured its the goofball selling the estates trying to put a box of parts back together for sale. Those I've got this way have all turned out OK though.

On the test stand it started first flick and ran as well as my other 40 VF's :). I'm guessing that even if the seller had tried to run it then he never got it to start considering the little dot of insulating paint on top of the glow plug post.

Really? I wondered about that. It's surprising how many you see like that, so I knew they would turn over.
