Oh, and it didnt just start right up, that was after 4 or 5 glow plug cycles in below freezing temperatures haha

I think the owners manual said it had 58HP lol.

Ya, it was a little rusty, really just the rockers tho. I bought it from my 95yr old neighbor for $1, shes gone now tho

@weemon2k2 i did not see him cycling the key 4 or 5 times maybe you missunderstand that you have to wait along time for those plugs to heat the cylinders up

summer time that light will flicker

@weemon2k2 That Might Be Turbo.
