Mr. Hives from Dodel,

20.G.W still running well and giving no trouble. We cured the mis-firing at low speeds by closing the plug gaps down to .020" from .025". and polishing up the plugs.
Everything else giving satisfaction & R quite satisfied with the running.
Mileage to date. 4,300 miles.

I understand from R that he intends returning on Sunday April 17th.

Yours faithfully
F. {Mr Friese} Dodel.
