Yes I bought it to save it. Working on carb then air roto chamber leak. Then a good greasing and lube

See if you can locate the Zenith. Night and day difference in starting and fuel usage. Also invest in the NGK/Brent Mullins plug wire adapters.

The next Project an ASMH

And now you is one! . Yep and proud to be one! I am hoping for several more laps around the glowy thing too...

me too msgjd, blew the rings on a gamma goat returning from yakima to seattle and spent $6 on oil to get it back to base.

Got the zenith carb to install. Will have to rework linkages because of the previous Holley swap. Thanks for the plug info. The plugs I was hoping would last for some time because I still have not found a roto chamber I could afford or rebuild seals to repair. I know this if it sits through a rain in the yard it sinks 2 inches in the ground so it must weigh 60000 lb

haha it sure seems that way at times, especially on muddy ground .. But M62's are "only" 34500# thereabouts ..

Crazy to think the Western Star tractor w/ 36ft triaxle dump trailer i once ran Tare'd at 36200# .. When parked next to the M62 nobody could ever guess the two were so very close in weight
