What was Old is now New again 😇 

1975 was a good year 

Ready to challenge any brand new 4-stroke. 😁

What's the story on that one?

It quit running back in early '90's and had set in a shed since then. Everything rubber needed replaced, the gears and shafts we're all fine, and the piston rings were kinda sticky.   A quick parts availability search indicated that everything I would likely need to refresh the entire motor was still available (surprisingly) so since the guy had titles for them I bought it and it's sisterfor next to nothing.   Tore one down completely, ordered all the parts (new piston rings, seals, diaphragms, water pump, ects.) gave the cylinders a fresh honing, reassembled, tuned, and painted.  Good as new.   2 pulls on a cold start....half a pull the rest of the day. 👍

I'll start on his sister after July 4th. 😊

Yeah...I guess it looks ok.  But the decals don't match.

Well, the completed one (brother) is a 1975

The one I haven't started yet (sister) is a 1976 

😊 

You didn't comprehend right.   Those aren't before/after pics.

Ahhhh...I get it now.  I like the 1975 graphics better than the 1976.  When are we gonna see it on buy/sell?

I do too, that's why I did that one first 😅 

I'm keeping it awhile, I have plans for it.
