Thanks for the comments....
Cylinder balance test.....compression test..... and yes I have a gauge...
Will also re check the plugs to see if one is not firing.... they were very black when we cleaned them up just before Xmas.... and running smooth at the time..... When I think about it..... it is almost as if one cylinder was dragging... a dead weight........causing the engine to vibrate..... don't think it is a valve but will probably remove the valve cover..... look at it while running.... re-check valve adjustments.... verify all electrical connections..... Above all will make sure it is warmed up sufficiently...... will cover the rad opening.... More later....

Hup whore
Quote:
The HUP frame has some damage, but nothing that can't be repaired. Drive train and engine are intact (functioning? - not known yet). The four rims "look" to be in good nick, but time will tell. The frame also has a lot of the add-ons that are becoming increasingly rare in these parts. There is some sheet metal, but it has seen better days. So the HUP frame was a good buy in my estimate. The other frame is a POS with only the two axles and some of the add-ons, making it somewhat worthwhile. There is potential for the frame and the other parts will go up for sale or be used as spares. The second frame (C15) came as part of the package deal worked out between Mr. Cote and myself. They are even going to load the trailer for us - on a Saturday no less! The weather in Montreal was the shits. They have a lot more snow down than we do in Ottawa. I went through two jugs of windshield washer fluid on this trip due to the excessive slush on the roads and the resulting saltspray. Not a bad recce - now I have to tell the wife about the latest acquisition...more on the the trip later.

Congrats, HUPs of any kind are a good find.
I too ended up making a purchase over the phone from prefair today, but pickup will wait until the spring. That's an amazing store, I wish it was closer to here. Mind you, we have Westbourne, but the winter kind of limits purchases to only 6 months out of the year.

Would be nice to get back to Ottawa for a bit..I enjoyed my short visit there last time. I may go back thru on the same deal as last time, in which case the dates are not mine to choose.

Prefair Shots
Although my interest at Prefair was focused on the CMP frames, there were one or two items that caught my eye:
Photos 1. 90mm gun (sold) 2. Remaining 90mm guns (one was being "negoitiated" the other remains for sale) 3. Rifle box of some nature 4. Rifle box label 5. Rifle box exterior It is interesting to note that since the 90mm gun section has been at Prefair, there have been no air attacks in that area. As for the frames, a road trip has been organized for early Saturday morning - once again, Bob Carriere's Ford will be hauling home the rusty gold. Hopefully another HUP will find its way to the Hammond Barn this Spring...
