Did that once as a Cub scout. Learned the hard way how to identify poison oak! I'm full of bad examples to learn from.

1960 I bought a 1946 WL that had problems from a guy who had bigger problems.....Paid practically nuthin for it...what I had saved from a paper route and my 1st job...
Pushed it home and hid it inna lean-to shed in back of the ole' mans lean-to garage. Messed around with it everytime nobody was around and at least got it to pop & sputter but it smoked like a freight train and was only hitting on 1 cylinder.
So, after talking to my buddy Gene and his brother Dave (they were both older and Dave had a WLA with a sidehack) they both decided it had a bad piston and needed to be torn down.........
So, That's how it started....and it's been all down hill since then.
