    If you remember power nation, horsepower TV Muscle Car TV, etc. you’ll probably remember Joe Elmore. Guy was a wealth of knowledge. Always enjoyed watching his shows. He passed a few months ago.

    Gas only… actually called a kerosene engine in many cases. My stationary LAE is a kerosene engine, start on gas and after it warms up, switch over to kerosene….
