He has had it in his attic for over 30 years and she is more then twice that age. Turns over and has good compression. This is going to be a great restoration project to get her back to as new. Let's go Brandon "Shall not comply" with morons who don't understand "shall not infringe."

Its still the short crank bearing version, so it runs on a lean mix of 1:16 and in warm rich weather on 1: 10 The EPA is going to love me bringing this smoking girl back to life. So if things get warm this summer. Blame me as I will her up and running, contributing our part to the global warming Let's go Brandon "Shall not comply" with morons who don't understand "shall not infringe."

I am going to build a clinker built boat of around 12 feet in oak and just varnished. Then stick this baby on the back and after running it a day or two around the lake, I'll take her and the boat to auction. The project is the goal not the keeping of it.

At 10:1 mix it did smoke up the place when running. He towed a couple feller in a bass boat back to their launch one day. They were sitting in a cloud of smoke back there.. Funny stuff.
