X2. If I would have gone to a Chiro for my neck I could be paralyzed by now. I went to three different doctors for the numbness in my feet and hands falling asleep at night. The first two thought it was a back problem and the hands falling asleep was just something to be ignored. The third doctor finally diagnosed severe stenosis in my neck. My spinal cord was being squeezed and restricted by the laminate inside the vertebrae. After he looked at the MRI that he ordered of the neck he told me one wrong slip and fall could make me a quadriplegic. I had what turned out to be a complicated version of a laminectomy of C3,C4,C5. They went in and cut off the back of those three vertebrae to open the vertebrae and give the spinal cord some breathing space. The numbness in the feet is gone and the hands falling asleep is gone. Another affect I didn't realize till later was the middle finger on the right hand falling down and right clicking the computer mouse on it's own will was caused by this neck problem. I didn't realize till I did some reading that the spinal cord is of a different consistency in the neck than in the back. Doctors don't get excited about stenosis in the back but they get real serious when it is in the neck. If you don't like one doctor, try another one, but be very careful about any manipulating of the neck vertebrae.

On our first cosmetic restoration, not having a manual, we carefully marked the wires, taped the magneto in the position it came off, and were careful not to turn the engine over while we had these components off. We thought we could get by with this since the engine ran perfectly and would not need any internal work. After the cleanup and painting was done, we began reassembly and finally came to t
