[SPAM] Re: Moki 180

[Bill Glaze]

Bob:
I just don't understand why all this pump/regulator/muffler blocking 
stuff is necessary.  I've got 3 Mokis and none of them need special 
treatment.  Bisson muffler, muffler pressure only, (no check valve, 
nothing but fuel tubing) and a Mesjlik 18-10 prop, and the thing will go 
up our of sight.  Ask John Ferrell; he was standing alongside me when I 
said:  "John, hold my beer and watch this!  (Well, actually, you can 
disregard the beer!  That's just Southern talk.<G>)  One of my 
conversations with Garrard included a mention of pumps, etc. and he 
stated to me that "they shouldn't be needed."  In my case, and 
experience with 3 different engines, (all of which I still own) that has 
proven to be the case.  One of the most reliable brands I have ever 
owned.  And they all pull like tractors.
