Russ, is it possible to just put the original engine back in?

Bill

As far as I know each builder will have at least one "fix" to do. Our was in 08. Let us know when.

Brenda, as long as we are on that subject, I seem to remember that Brent was (maybe) going to rebuild the Stalker or sell and build a Locost this Winter. How is that plan coming along?

He has decided to hold onto it for another year...
He still wants to put a soft top on it. This means though that the windshield needs to be moved.
Told him should be completed by next event. "A winter garage project".

Well I hope I am not jinxing myself by putting this out too early but I think I finally have a running 7. The rough running was caused by a stuck closed choke. And I think I have that fixed. Now to put some miles on her and check for leaks. It has taken over 6 months of frustration and money to get to this point. Fingers crossed. Russ

Russ, I COMPLETELY understand.Nothing is ever as easy as it looks.

Best of luck. Hopefully things are finally fixed and you can enjoy what driving season is left.

Bill

Russ, I am hoping, wishing, sending you all the good luck that I have left. Keep us informed!

Make it large print. Eyes are failing but I would love to read your book!!

I do identify somewhat with your dilemma. Took about a year to get my 4AGE running with the Mega Squirt. And I had lots of help.

Bon Fortuna going forward. Hope you have it beat.

Cheers,

Well my locost had been running for great for a month now. I think it is going to be ok. May take her up to Wisconsin in a week for some chilly drives. Russ

We'll get it worked out. That's actually not a bad time. My wife is in SoCal with my daughter and they leave the 6th. I have at least one weekend totally free!! Hmm.
