      Great stories. In the winter of '67 while at Purdue I met a barefoot neighbor walking to his apartment two doors from ours. He never wore shoes, summer or winter or to any of his mechanical engineering classes. (We actually had a Hippie in school!) We struck up a conversation and he told me he had a knucklehead in his apartment he was "rebuilding". My roommates and I went over that evening to see "Leto's" bike (never knew if that was his first or last name). We walked in and saw all of the furniture stacked in a corner of the room and the frame, wheels, etc. apart across the grease covered carpet. We walked past the bathroom and saw a number of parts soaking in degreaser in the tub and sink. When we got to the bedroom we saw the engine torn down and scattered on the gold shag carpet. Leto had torn down the engine on the carpet without first draining the oil. Spring came and the bike was finished. It was beautiful and really clean. It looked good in chrome and the gloss black he sprawed in the second bedroom. The day he fired it up and took it for a shake down was the last time we ever saw Leto but he remains a hero and idol to this day.
      I was married by the time I was trying to finish my engineering degree. Money was tight and it was'nt unsual to come into our apartment and see any number of junk Holleys disassembled on our kitchen table. I would buy them from a local gas station with a garage in the basement. They were in a barrel and I'd pay $1 to $3 apiece, depending on condition. I'd mix and match the pieces and reuse or make gaskets, then I'd switch it out with the ill performing one on the Vette. Using the kitchen table started when I had to rebuild the two barrel for her Dart. She still talks about that.

        Bruce, you could take a can of Starting Fluid and give it a little blast when raising throttle. Process of elimination - 1o1.
