    I have never seen one before either only heard about them. But I did see a white Peacock once. Beautiful bird. And I found this deer in my yard awhile back.

    Somehow I don’t feel a modern car would survive this without some sort of problem.

    Fuel pump for 4.5 HP Johnson

    Agreed go with the rebuild. Your pump is far better quality than what’s out there in the aftermarket stuff.

    Compression too high?

    Compression too high?

    There you have it. I didn’t want to say it a get scolded. My skepticism is the advertised numbers are high and the seller would know this if they knew what they had. If I found numbers like that I would be looking to try another gauge to confirm and make an honest statement.

    This will give you a warm fuzzy - NOT!

    I live on island that has separate towns and each town has its own PD and a state barracks as well. They all train as a state academy. In my eyes it all comes down to how the cheif runs his dept and the hiring of stable level headed people.
