I love old engines and their lack of vac hoses, computers, and emission equipment.

Cool vid, thanks

Yep, the zip ties working shocked me. I was expecting there to be more drag on the waterpump than the zip ties would withstand.

I'm guessing the fact that the motor was relatively low powered and VERY heavy had a lot to do with the smoothness.
