    I had my hands behind my head putting my hair in a ponytail when I tripped over my dog, my hand went forward to catch my balance and ended up like karate chopping the top of my kitchen chair, broke both bones.. Ya I'm a Rocken Roll Grand Pa.. lol

    Pulling my hair out!!

    Long story.... lol Ok from the start, bought this 1956 QD-17 10hp and from the get go it ran like poop, backfiring, misfiring, stalling.. got bad enough it sheared the key way on the flywheel.. I replaced coils, points, condensers, new solid core wires and spark plugs, rebuilt the carb, set the...
