RE: Club FOX!
Cool stories all.
My trusty old .40BB finally lunched a connecting rod after 14yrs. It'd been clattering a bit for a year and a half but running strong. Then the fateful day arrived...it wouldn't hold a needle setting worth beans and it was making lots (more) noise. The little end of the conrod had finally worn to death. So, a new rod, wrist pin and keepers.....a grand total of about $10 in parts and she was back in business. Still holds it's place as a front line engine for me. EZ hand starts, and dependable as the day is long.
Let's see...$10 in replacement parts for 14 years service. That's what....75 cents per year? Not bad!
