Are the old 3hp's any good. Are they just like the newer 4hp from the 70's or should I steer clear

Pappy said:No. Before you do that, back off a little on the retaining bolt and see if that helps. If so then take a look at that stack of parts and make sure all are there and in the right locations. That would be # 2, 3, and 11. A bit of lube on the bushings as well.
I think your right. The last hour was spent prying off the old staples and gasket. It was crumbling into tiny pieces that would have gotten sucked in the carb. I really just need to protect it enough so the sun doesn't eat it up and have it clean enough that the faded paint does not come off on your hands and clothes. Would you wax it or maybe clear coat it with something?LDUBS said:Unless you do a full restore, I would leave it alone. Don't spray it white. Think about it. You won't be happy. Am I right?
