Man these things are fun to work on, NOT...

I installed a new battery, disassembled the intake, changed filters, added fuel and Seafoam to help with the old gas as i could not find a way to drain the tank and there was not much in it.. added coolant and she fired up.

Runs a bit rough, but no engine noises to be concerned with.. probalby just needs a carb rebuild/cleaning and or fuel pump rebuild.
The only thing I am concerned with is it seemed to be running a bit hot, did not have a heat gun so do not know.. I may take the radiator out, but that looks like a major job..

I think if I have to do that, I will just pull the entire engine and clean everything while replacing all hoses and having the radiator looked at as well as the water pump.

Being the novice that I am, I cannot see how to change the oil because the drain plug is so hard to get to.. I guess i could always buy some bottle jacks and lift her up.. or use a suction pump throught the dipstick tube.

Oh well, I am pretty happy it runs and the hydraulics seem to work.. i will get back on it next weekend.
