Okay so I got a new mixer, changed the plugs and wires and this bad boy fired right up. I don't think the choke mechanism that works off of the thermostat housing works right. I had it running for about 10 mins and it never idled down. I had to manually push the lever my self.

My main issue is how the heck does the throttle linkage work? The peddle is connected to the throttle body via a free moving linkage piece. When the peddle is pushed it moves but doesn't do anything.

Thankfully the hydraulics all seem to work. I haven't tried the brakes, or to drive it yet because of the throttle issues.

Here is a video I took of it running and me trying to explain the throttle issues. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7cVHd6NZot8
