The bricklayer who's tearing down and re-building my fireplace chimney
has a problem.
His work truck is a 1986 Chev Silverado 2 WD with a 454 motor.
He has put three starters on in the last 6 months and the current one
is failing.
Seems this motor isn't being made now and the locally supplied
starters aren't heavy enough ... they keep getting chewed up. This
truck is originaly from the States and that may be another reason why
the proper part is hard to get. Any advice?

Is he shimming it correctly?

If it is not shimmed right the gear jams in the flywheel and burns up
the starter.He could also have a (ring gear?) chewed up on the flywheel. Old style
Starters should be a dime a dozen for that engine.

..or dancing with the midgets.


Way back when, 35 something years ago, I somehow got the ad agency for
which I was working at that time hired as the Ad & PR agency for
Ringling Brothers Barnum & Bailey Circus for its DC area performances.
There was hardly a soul on the Feld family headquarters management team
I could stand, but all the performers I met were really terrific people,
including a circus midget named "Michu." His real name was Mihaly
Meszaros. I'll never forget that name. He was billed as the shortest man
in the world. Like many of the performers, he lived on the circus train.

Part of my assignment was to arrange media interview for the acts. I had
a couple lined up for Michu early in the morning, so I went with the TV
crews to the train. No Michu. I got on the train and was directed to his
compartment. Found it. Found Michu in bed with two circus showgirls.

Hell, he was 3' tall at the most. The girls were tall, typical showgals.
Turned out he was quite the drinker and quite the stud.

So, don't insult my memories of a true midget by comparing Snotty to
one. Michu was a real man. Snotty is a paranoid pimple.
