Doug-

Any idea what to look for in a lobe? Something I can see by looking at it
from the outside the block? I would sure hate if that was the problem, since
this re-man only has about 11,000 miles on it. Out of warrenty, though,
because of the time frame involved.

I thought about the electric pump last year, but failed very little on-line
that would help me with the process. This is a carbureted motor. Would it
work?
