Wow, I am sure glad to hear that it is not my extreme advanced age (46) 
that is causing me to forget things like the cam lock.  If you young 
whippersnappers can do it then I feel better.  Now, leaving the lock in 
the pump sprocket....I would never do that, what are you all a bunch of 
incompetents?  :^)  BTW thanks for all the good info on the cam.  Local 
supplier wants $90 but says it will run with the break.  I will keep 
looking and decide before I actually start her up the first time.
