Bob Labrie's V3 Shovel

I've heard there were always arguments about whether or not it actually ran on all three cylinders or not. The argument against the idea that it ran on all three is that people who have seen it say it sounds like any other Shovel when running. The arguement for the fact that it runs is how the cams were cut and the firing order of the cylinders made it sound like any other Shovel. I don't think anyone would go through that much trouble to make it non-functional.
