I can remember when (I'm 68 years old) , if you lived in town, school bus service was not available, you either walked or caught a ride. If, you wanted to do some hunting on the way, you didn't go back home to leave your weapon, what you did was carry it to school, lean it against the wall (after unloading it) behind the teacher's desk until school was dismissed for the day. If you didn't carry a pocket knife with you every where you went you were almost considered undressed. The driving age, in South Carolina where I lived, was fourteen; thirteen for a learner's permit. I purchased my first car, a 1950 Ford, in 1957 I can easily remember when Truman was President, and when Kennedy was assassinated. One of my favorate pastimes was sitting besides the railroad watching the trains, being pulled by a steam locomotive, go by (when the railroad switched over to diesel I lost interest). Television was black & white, one very fuzzy channel originating from Greenville SC (I lived in Abbeville). Even so, television was considered a real luxury. Most households had only one motor vehicle, which was a passenger car. Pickups were for farmers. Heaters in motor vehicles were an extra cost option, A/C almost unheard of, even though available on high end brands (Cadillac, Lincoln, etc), but usually not installed. Medical insurance was not available except for really serious procedures (Major Medical). Doctors made house calls, and so did the milk man. I could go on and on, but I've things to do.

After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
