Sorry Shock ! If they don't run, they might as well have been chipped from pig-iron!

Be brave my friend, Glory is seldom visited upon those who puff of brave deeds, then cower in the shadows!

But seriously, GOT to see this thing DO it's thing! Perhaps Mr. Cox might look down and approve...or, he may be shaking his head at all the fervor...hard to say !

Well then.. TO ARMS!

"GENERAL QUARTERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" ARRRRNT!!! ARRRRNT!!! ARRRNT!!!!

"CAPTAIN !!! IF AH POOSH'ER ANY MORE, SHE'LL BUHCLE!!!"

"Shut up 'an follow orders, Scotty !"

I would like to see this Kim.
Maybe it could be one of the earliest engine on YouTube.
I will laugh if that old fuel is now like 50% oil!

Here we go! Rather, here goes The Space Bug !!!!

It's a cranky old sucker, so, I naturally related to it! Too little prime...won't hit...too much prime...won't hit...just the right amount of prime...well MAYBE it'll run... !

Sorry for the out-of-focus shots...camera focused on the door, and I didn't feel like arguing with it.

Ran it real rich on a gray 6-3 with glowplugboy 24% FUEL. The high tach-reading is just as it ran out of fuel.

Got video...I'll try to crunch it, then run to the airport and use their WiFi to shoot it out.

Now, on the "Fuel of the Pharaohs" A Great Saturday so far !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kim,
Nice runs that engine looks good!

WHAA HOO!!!! It's time for CRACKER BARREL !!!!!!!!!!!! Oh wait...forgot about the Pharaoh's Fuel...back to the shop !

Well I would like to see how that turns out for you.

Don't know it's actual vintage, but have had it for a pretty good while! One thing for sure, it's not gonna spend any more time on the back shelf!

Decent stuff!
(I am back in live chat!)

"Got video...I'll try to crunch it, then run to the airport and use their WiFi to shoot it out"
Yes he did!

Nice!!! Great job Kim, it will be the world's first youtube video of someone actually running an original 60 year old cox engine!

OK...says it's loading....


Ok...I'm double dipping...didn't know which thread to list this:

Awesome! Congratulations on the good run.

Hey Kim,

Do you have the spinner nut that that came with the Space Bug? The one designed to pinch with your finders to stop reverse starts?

Send me a PM.

Sounds just like its Bee cousins. I left a comment for you.

Thanks Rusty! Guess the bees don't fall far from the hive! (yeah...I know...pretty bad, but I'm tired!)

Only when you poison them!

Hey Rusty, (and all)

Ran the Space Bug again late yesterday on Sig 25%. I let it warm up running slobber-rich, then leaned it for a few peaks and back. Looks like it's top end is in the low 14's with a grey 6-3.
