    i have been thinking A LOT, about all the wonderful people in this group. for some reason , today,i had this old "chorus," running through my mind. i looked it up on the net, and sure enough, bill withers wrote it in 1972! just seems to fit this group to a "T". LEAN ON ME Bill withers- - -1972. just jt

    Dan , the simplest way to determine if you have a dead cylinder, is to start it up, COLD. as the engine warms up, hold your hand close to the exhaust pipes , one at a time. they should heat up quickly, to a point that they will BURN your bare skin! be careful, there. if one of the exhaust headers doesn't get as hot as the other three, then that one is your problem. now, sooner or later, the "big guns" will jump in here, and diagnose your problem. just jt

    Jeannie will be coming HOME early next week. the Dr.s on her team, have determined that her heart is TOO weak and fragile, to undergo any type of surgery. she told the social worker, when asked about a nursing home:"hell no! i know what you people will do.you get me in there, then won't let me out, and then the next thing i know, you'll take my house!" at any rate, she will be here, with me, until her time gets short, then they will send out "hospice people" to keep her comfortable, 'till, her time runs out. and now , words fail me. i can't thank ALL of you enough for the support and prayers. just jt

    ed, i don't know about with the "out" line being disconnected, but on my 86, it only runs for a couple of seconds. then you have to turn the key off, and back on to make it fill the drained bowls. could be , that your new fuel filter is empty, or maybe air locked. i really can't say. just jt

    dan, you have to over look Don's stuttering problem. it only pops up , every now and then. lol just jt:rotf:

    Lyle, it is not really a difficult process. i just had my stator cover off a couple of weeks ago , to do a starter clutch replacement. you have to start, by removing the shifter, at the linkage. remove the stator cover bolts, being careful not to lose the copper washer, that is on the very bottom bolt. (in fact, in hindsight, remove this bolt FIRST, with a drain pan underneath, it will drain about 2 cups of oil out of the case.) after you get the stator cover off, remove the cover directly to the rear of it. the stator magnets have a very strong pull, and you tend to think, that the cover is being held on ,by something else. when you get the stator cover off, the actual stator is held in place by screws around the outside edge. from there, you can readily see the fix. if i can be of anymore help. just holler. just jt
