I have not had a bad experience working off this forum yet--it may happen tomorrow. I am sorry you have. On the other side of the coin, 99.999% of the guys I have met are 100% and by an example, I ran a note on here that I was looking for a shroud or a pattern to make a shroud for a I/H 3-5 HP engine. I was contaced by a visitor to the forum who reported that he had one and it was installed on his engine. That I could come to his place, take the shroud off, take it home, copy it and return it....which I have done recently. (Thank you Kevin) I have the shroud on my work bench and I am carefully making a paper pattern from it. You must keep in mind that this young fellow did not know me from Adam's House Cat. And on another occasion, I reported here that I had broken the cam gear on the engine I was rebuilding...a few days later one showed up in the mail and the sender refused to accept payment even for postage...saying, "I'm glad somebody will get use of it." So, the bottom line for me is, continue to have faith even though a weed pops up in every garden. Tom Windsor
