Ahh, theres my smiley's

I hear ya on the POS Clark's..........We got a 30 year old (at least) gasser that does everything we need it to do and more, never missed it before it arived from a bank forclosure.  Now if it sputters we all run to find the problem as we wouldn't know what to do without it.

The thing gets rust on the dip stick every 6 months?   Not sure why, its in the shop all the time?
