Ok whats a Elan engine. I must no more my simple mind can't see how that can warm metal at 40 below. But I believe you just hard to understand.

No one here ruined anything. Heck, I created the stir by starting this this so i caused myself to pay a little more. Worth it too because the advice I got here was worth far more then the extra I paid. If this thread shows anything it is that I don't know what I'm doing at times. Thx for your concern tho.

Calvin: An Elan is a small 250cc snowmachine. Doing what I said warms the carb throat just enough to remove frost that may be blocking the jet.

At least you got the gun Ray! And as long as the barrels are sound, you got a great deal. You can pass it on to someone if you like and tout it as "Swamp Angel II". Any of us would love to own it I'm sure.

I guess 40 below is not as cold as it sounds.

You never know who you will hear from. Was conacted by PGCA member who once owned the gun. Used it to shoot trap and crows. Said it was nicely balanced. He has letter that he is going to send to me. Apparently used by at least two different mid-west trap shooters and was factory restocked once. Maybe that's why it now has the period Redhead pad? Maybe the letter will tell me.

I'll try to post photos tomorrow for those who asked.

Let me understand... you piss in the throat or on the outside of it?

Can this be done by an eskimo with an enlarged prostate??

My thought's, I'm going to have to get my 8th grader to do it! I think you would have to do it on the outside of the throat.

ray your a lucky man....sounds like the old gun has a lot of history behind it and the best part you can prove it.... charlie

I used to work for a vending company years ago, drove a supply truck for them. Every night I'd have to lock the truck up inside a fenced in area. When there was freezing rain or snow the padlock on the gate would be frozen every time. I'll give you one guess how I got it open on those cold nights.....

These photos are proof I know less about photography then I do about old Parkers-as hard it is to believe! Used my camera instead of having my friend, the pro, do them. But you get the idea.:eek:
