Talking 147 off the trailer

1st post since my new member intro. Got her of the trailer, under her own power I might add. Figured out why the PO said you needed starting fluid to start it, choke cable rusted solid, easy fix, disconnect cable. Next issue no fuel to float bowl, easy fix, remove carb clean and unstick needle. almost forgot new battery. Now manual engage choke hit the switch, cranked so quick it scared me!! cut it off quick look for leaks, looks ok crank again try hydro lever thingy, goes backward, goes forward, idles in neutral no movement, get the ramps. drive off trailer, act like small child on Christmas morning. Brakes a little touchy, slides tires on gravel if not careful. Maybe it was worth a bcuck and a quarter after all. Next issue, lots of slop in steering, must investigate farther.:biggrin2.gif:
