See what I mean Bill?? I put up with this stuff for 6 years. I finally started telling these guys they were all probably right and that even though I was the engine repair tech I knew absolutely nothing about model engines. The other thing I loved was when they asked you a question concerning an engine because your were "the expert" and then they would argue with you. I finally answered with the same line. "If you knew all that, why did you ask me in the first place?" I quit repairing engines for pay and I quit answering questions about them unless I knew the guy in the first place. I only repair engines for club members now and only a few of them. I never charge. That way they can't scream if their engine doesn't meet their expectations. It makes life a lot easier and I have more fun at the field. I'm too old to take a load of crap for helping someone.

AMA 13797 modeling for over 50 years and I still don't know what makes them work. I can fix them but don't know how I did it. Maybe I'm an engine Idiot Savant.
