Pulled the carb put on one that I had and then cleaned the tank, unstuck the lift handle, and it has no slop.
The hour meter works, shows a little past 1:00 o'clock.
Ran out of time to get it started so tomorrow is another day.
Pictures for you.

Looks good nice find.:beerchug:

Nice find! I can see all the differences in the late model 1450 that I’m aware of. That could one day fess up to a fine late model example, the first enclosed engine compartment, and the last yellow, white, and blue before the best had yet to come,.... great rescue partner👍🏻

Nice score Lew. It looks to be in great condition too. Is she a flipper?

Great score Lew! How many 1450s do you have now?

It has been repainted, it is peeling in spots. Prolly part it out if it has issues with the motor....I am not a QL person.

That makes one for now, one of many I had and sold.

Today was a good day, after changing some ground wires and putting some new connectors on, it runs and drives with no creep.
I do not see any leaks, or smoke, but the driveshaft has a wobble up by the motor.
There are newer ISO mounts on the cradle and even the seat bumpers too!
I gave it a bath today and noticed that only the outside of the rims have been painted...

That cleaned up really good!

Wow,
rubber baby buggy bumpers!
Always wondered what they looked like :biggrin2:

Me too!:biggrin2:

Looking good Lou!
