Bad move in
the Perkins.


When installing the 4-108 in Geoff's ketch, the diesel mechanic brought out
a can of spray and headed towards our Perky. I told him, "Spray that
anywhere near that engine and we'll sue you for the damages." He ****ed
and moaned at me but put it back in his kit. About 40 seconds of cranking
and she roared to life without it...one cylinder at a time...(c;]

This one feeds a hospital! Glad it's not MY hospital!

Caterpillar makes really rugged starter motors.
