This weekend I decided to put my 70 back together and start her up. Maybe even put it up for sale. I still need to change the oil and fill the rear end. It's in solid original condition, has a replacement (black) motor with no ID tag, so I'm not 100% what it is. If anyone has any info on how to tell for sure, I'd appreciate it. I cleaned up the carb, choke and throttle cables. It always ran excellent, no smoke and started on the first push of the starter. Once I get the fluids changed and a tank of gas in her, I guess I'll have to make a decision.
This rainy weather in western PA is really starting to get to me. I can't even get my garden tilled and prepped for planting yet. I'll need a week of dry, sunny weather. The garden, 982 & tiller may have to wait until the end of the month or even early June.
