new thing...to me

Post by maineshops »

going to need some help me thinks.
i recently rescued a thing from an old barn. mileage shown is 19,000 so I'm guessing that's 119,000. it was very dusty but otherwise in pretty good shape. the engine doesn't seem to be the original cuz it has the two tubes sticking out of it and all the wires are just dangling. looks like someone started to put another engine in it and quit.
one thing bothers me is that the white undercoating is flaking off and exposing bare metal. there is hardly any rust on this thing and i don't want any to start if i can prevent it.
perhaps you guys can help me get this thing running and preserve it. i don't know anything about them so any help or suggestions are appreciated
retired with no honey-do stuff....ya right
