      Click on the picture for video. Total expenditure so far, $12 for motor at the scrap yard, 2 used plugs I had on the shelf.
      Learning today how to post a video to the site… priceless!!

        My local "junk yards" w/in a hundred miles call themselves "recycling centers!" They pay for old motors by pennies/dollars on the pound and sell as if they were rare "gems.." If you ever heard of Brimfield, MA , 3x a year (spring, summer, fall) they have one of the oldest quality antique flea markets in the US. Many AOMC members travel there to set up and buy/sell there. The side impact is that the "outsiders" regularly visit the "recyclers" for stuff. Their (recyclers) prices are astronomical compared to going to an AOMC chapter meet…Enjoy your local junk yard perks.

            Yes Mumbles I do! With that kind of a buyin I can actually afford to do a complete paint and decals resto and not be $200 upside down if I sell it!
