I heard this Fairmont start up while I was a few displays away, but it quit before I could get over to it. The owner of this engine display was looking for parts when I showed up. A 1/4" nut had come loose from the top of the intake assembly, and parts had gone flying. He found the cover and the check valve, but he had to rob a nut from another engine, and the spring that goes behind the check was nowhere to be seen. He made a bold effort, but the little Putt-Putt engine couldn't be made to run without a properly functioning carburetor. No worries, though. He said he has plenty of spare parts at home.
