re: #110 RealityBasedSteve

I had a very productive day today. With the help of a liberal application of WD-40 and some good old-fashioned elbow grease, I extracted the (extremely rusty and gunky) spark plugs from the old land yacht and was able to determine that the engine did not, in fact, need to be broken loose - it still turned. So I lifted the carburetor from the engine so I could rebuild it here at home, and things are very much looking up for my goal of having the motor running next weekend.
