(maybe spring is here for good, it was 60's last week it snowed saturday when i was turkey hunting, and today was 75 degrees out, our weather is on a roller coster)
anyway i haven't driven the 49 or even started it since early last summer. it looked brown it was covered in so much dust, i couldn't see out the windshield. the battery was dead. and the brakes are gone. i got it started and it ran perfect, but now i need to bleed the brakes. but it kid of lit a fire under me to clean it back up where it shines and looks new and maybe show it a little

My '47 is always low in the spring, and I just top it off and we're good to go. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2007 Posts: 513 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Feb 2007 Posts: 513 | thanks Rich, i give tht a shot. this was the first time since i bought it, that i stored it the whole winter.
