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

Fact of the week
Foundling hatches are safe, anonymous drop-off points for unwanted infants, allowing parents in crisis a way to surrender a baby safely without fear of punishment, ensuring the child is rescued and cared for. The concept started in the 12th century, was abandoned in the late 19th century, then reintroduced in 1952. It has since been adopted in many countries.
