A sad day in Volvolandia
I must move on and decomission the 72-145 'Seafoam'.
It is running super rich,and I finally figured out that the wires/connector to the temp sensor in the head for the water jacket are frayed,but now it has washed the cylinders and ruined the rings.
Compression is @100 across the board.
72 had crappy primer too,and the rust blossoms are started.
Fixed the leads,and took it for a spin today 3700 lbs of noisy fun.
Strange,kind of peppy,even mortally wounded.
So yea we made some Money,and hauled some lumber.

Tiger saw,and off to the metal yard on 3rd st.
Once you grab the A arms and or steering box it becomes unmanageable.

It could hop over to my place and get some rust grindage/bondo/black primer action followed up with some severely cut springs and some tint. That would scare the old farts here.
