Sincere condolances to surviving family, friends, co-firefighters, citizens of your community. In my not so humble opinion, there is no one more dedicated to a cause than a volunteer firefighter. Boss I worked for for 20 years was a firefighter, made first assistant chief. Officers, chief, 2 assistants, captains, & leutenants elected by members, automatic approval by city council. City of approx 13000 people, 38 firefighters. Had a system that worked for them. Turnout gear (boots, pants, coats, helmets) always on the trucks. First 4 men to the station and GO NOW!!! Everybody else GO DIRECTLY TO SCENE, YOUR GEAR WILL BE THERE. Average response time over a year was TWO MINUTES from alarm call to first truck out the door. Coincidence helped during daytime calls. Main Station at city hall- bar owner across the parking lot, tire shop employee a block away, funeral director a block away, city hall janitor, & Sears appliance repairman half a block away came on dead run, crank up trucks & GO! Station Two- my boss & another co worker across the street, father/son team from lumber yard across the rail tracks, elec motor shop owner 2 blocks away, crank up & GO! Will never forget one late night call. Was working part time with sheriff, responded to bad accident. 2 victims trapped, called for rescue squad. Sunday morning, 3 am. Could hear them coming, seemed like it took forever. Get firefighters out of bed, drive to station, get trucks, drive 7 miles to scene. All in FIFTEEN MINUTES from alarm to on scene. Can't get much quicker than that. Didn't mean to get so long winded. Willie

I pulled the head, and soaked the stuck valves with mystery oil overnight, re-installed the head, and bingo, the compression returned. 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
