When I bought it, he went over, under and through it for 20 minutes, didn't say a word. Finally he stood back, scratched his head and said "that is one interesting piece of machinery." I was able to replace everything on it, except I couldn't rebuild the *&#$% carburetor.
Speaking of carburetors. I once bought a rebuild kit for my old six cylinder Plymouth. (my second car). When I finished, I noticed there was a part left over that I failed to include. Figured I'd have to start all over. But I took it out for a short drive and it worked FINE. haha...the good old days!
