I think hornell's problem is they were once a thriving small city with strong industry and many small to medium dealers could do just fine. They now are a shadow of thier once great selves and with less money floating around, a large dealer and a huge chain store dealer have taken over the money that's left there. If you want a Chevy, Dansville has a great Chevy dealer just up the road. That in itself is part of the problem. Having a dealer of one brand in every other town was once possible. As the dealers get larger its no wonder some are bound to merge or get out because you can only sell so many products in a given area before the area is saturated. Tractor dealers, grocery stores and hardware stores are no different. Mega stores are great but you can't have them on every corner like you used to be able to have mom and pop stores. Small town dealers that have only relied on locals and not selling thousands of cars a year are still around. Service departments and selling a steady flow of fewer cars still keeps the doors open. My response to rusty was because he said ford pulled all small dealers and thier sales aren't doing well, and both are not true. The problem is that when people say things like that enough times, others believe it. Just like saying imports are superior vehicles. They got thier foot in the door selling cheaper cars and trucks that people could easilier afford, now look at them. I remember the Toyota and Nissan trucks from the 80's. don't tell me they were superior, but they sold. Maybe the big three should go back to thier roots and sell a decent product at a decent price again.

But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. 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
