The “custom” lettering was done by the prior owner. They were asking $350 but it wasn’t running so I talked them down to $250. Starter was clearly out but upon getting it home there turned out to be a brand new one behind the seat in a pile or garbage and parts. It was still in the box with the receipt from Napa.
Turned out the float needle was stuck closed—after a hilljack rebuild of the carb it runs.
It was sitting out front about a week when a local farmer stopped and asked if I wanted another one. Ummm not really but went and looked. Turned out to be a 65 that is pretty toasty but has a decent doghouse/grill. So I’ll be swapping it over to this one.
