Right next door. I have lived in South Florida since I was 4 years old but spent every other summer in Dighton in the 50s and early 60s. Raced OPC stuff in the 60s and 70s mostly in the south.

Right next door. I left Dighton when I was just a little guy but spent every other summer back in Dighton in the 50s and early 60s. Still have family in Taunton and Dighton.

Ran 91 none ethanol and 30:1 mix....Running good according to the plugs...New Timing Pulley's and belt seem to be holding up fine! Timing stays dead on no belt slack...Id say the set up is a winner!....

Did you get the belts with steel cable inside? I have a setup like this but do not have the steel
cables in the belts.

Look for a local airport that has "SS" next to the price. Some places you can walk up, swipe your card, and fill your cans, sometimes going later in the evening is better as everyone is gone and no one is there to question you. The one close to here its $5 a gallon for 100LL (about 97 octane as rated for highway fuel) so its a pretty good deal compared to race fuel.

So is that Greenwood Lake for 100 Octane @ $5 a gallon? Those places you can just drive over and fill up your lawnmower can with 100 ? Wow, never knew that is what SS allowed you to do.

Yes that is correct.

'Airnav is a great resource. But unless you own an airplane, sneaking you lawn mower gas can through airport security may be a problem

I've been running the belts with no steel cord in them haven't had an issue with stretch yet! Here's Hoping!
