I've had my 52 for over 8 years, put 20,000 miles on her. She has only stranded me twice. First time was going home from work after a long Friday when I remembered that the loose nut behind the wheel had forgotten to get gas that morning.
I was 2 miles from home. Got a ride from a state trooper.
Second time was due to a worn cam folloer on the points. When I tried to start her she backfired bad enough that the carb linkage got slapped around bad enough to rotate the fast idle cam around. That did not make a good morning at work. :mad:
