<DIV><BR></DIV>Bob:<BR>I just don't understand why all this
pump/regulator/muffler blocking stuff is necessary. I've got 3 Mokis and
none of them need special treatment. Bisson muffler, muffler pressure
only, (no check valve, nothing but fuel tubing) and a Mesjlik 18-10 prop, and
the thing will go up our of sight. Ask John Ferrell; he was standing
alongside me when I said: "John, hold my beer and watch this!
(Well, actually, you can disregard the beer! That's just Southern
talk.<G>) One of my conversations with Garrard included a mention
of pumps, etc. and he stated to me that "they shouldn't be needed." In
my case, and experience with 3 different engines, (all of which I still own)
that has proven to be the case. One of the most reliable brands I have
ever owned. And they all pull like tractors.<BR><BR>Bill

<BLOCKQUOTE type="cite"><PRE wrap="">Hi John:
Have you ever tried starting the Moki with a light
backwards bump? The
engine likes to be wet to do this, but it usually
would start foward for me
when I did this. I just gave the spinner a brisk
twist to clockwise and
that would do it.
