Title: Thanks Steve!
Post by: jwsdreammachines on May 20, 2012, 11:55:22 PM
Just wanted to publicly thank Steve Reed for his time and patience with me in resurrecting a BS200 Mach II
It has been sitting for months and I couldn't for the life of me figure out why it would not start. Steve suggested valves, I took them out and sure enough the left side valve was busted. After ordering new valves from Richard Clark that took all of two days to arrive, I followed the photo instructions posted by Steve under 200 engines and called him at least three times to which he took the time to explain the process to me. Today after re-assembling everything it started after one kick. Amazing!!! Now another BS is back on the road.  Thanks Steve!
