    Welcome. Hmm, are there any flathead lovers here? DUH!! (smiling) Yup, there are lots of us and more joining us every day. Looks like there is a resurgence of interest in these flathead engines. Do a search for "flatheads" and sit back and read. Lots to learn and share here. Even some stuff those guys with rocker arm engines have something worth reading!! (jeesh, calm down...kidding!!)

    Hmm. Are you old, and love Flatties, or, do you love flatties, that are old???
    Yet another mystery to ponder over.
