After months of not being able to see my work monitors, I went to have my vision checked. I bragged to the doctor that I had 20-12 vision at my last flight physical (I didn't mention it was 25 years prior). ...He told me that I still had 20-12, so long as whatever I looked at was 10 feet from my face. 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ebinmaine 67,017 #46 Posted March 20 Unfortunately there's a worn out "isavetractors" carb on here. No worries whatsoever. I have a freshly rebuilt 1970 Kohler carb from the Charger Hydro attempt. Excellent use for that! 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
