Well i got it fired up again ( i didnt have to do much, just fire it up like anyhting that had been sitting for several months) and have it running on a gas can.
it moves under its own power both forward and reverse, but doesnt stop as its got no brakes, LOL! I'll get working on the brakes after a camping trip this weekend.
I changed the oil added a quart of ATF to the crank case, and let it run for a while. the smoke cleared up nicely after about half an hour, but later it started smoking again. It looked more white or gray but I didnt get a chance to investigate too close. Could still be rings or valves but it did go away for a bit, could have popped a head or intake gasket as well I suppose, so i'll check in on all of that.
anyway, starts up super easy, and idles smoother than my 73....
