What was interesting that on Flee-bay the guy said the thing was hard to start. (Which helped keep the price low as I have seen full crankers in good nick go over the $150 mark. The seller was selling for his now decesed father-in-law ) After I got the thing home I striped and cleaned the carby out to discover that the diaphram in the LM was not seated properly and the throttle cable was out of adjustment. Now the girl is a 1 pull start from cold with the mandatory 1 press prime from the LM.
Outstanding work that I feel needs to be done is as follows:
1 Strip and clean de-compressor and re-lap valve.
2. Install new fuel tap and new tubing. Fuel tap has a slight weep, tubing to be replaced for piece of mind.
3. New air filter and foam grommet
4. Exterior Degrease
5. Repaint Handles using Gloss Black engine enamel.
