Wiring and reassembly
I rewired the whole thing using wire sleeve, tie wraps, and color correct wire to keep it neat. Even reused the rusty old regulator cause it looked real clean inside. No lights yet cause bulbs are all bad, but new ones on the way.
Buttoned it all back together and I was off to the races. Starts with a little choke, idles and runs OK, no leaks and the hydro lift works. Drive lever is a pretty jumpy, probably the rusty old trunion springs. Battery charges from 12.5 to 14.4 when I rev it up, so looks like it's wired up right.
Rusty the cub still needs some work but she's a solid runner!
