Well a fine Saturday spend dragging this old beast up to my house. Thanks to my FIL for coming along and driving off the trailer.
Tonight's beer-side diagnosis says pretty much what I assumed. Good compression and fouled plugs. Sounds like a deep tune up. Check timing, rebuild the carb, look at lots of other stupid details that someone else messed with.
So a big project turns to a fun little clean up. Guess who gets to be the family hero? Me.
The only question I have at this point is are the plugs oil fouled or fuel fouled?
It may still be some work.
More to follow.
