I finally decided to buy a battery for mine - it was always a headache to get it started, using a jump box, charging battery overnight. Never give it a thought the battery was bad. Soooo, put in a new one and it fired before I finished turning the key! I drove it friday saturday and sunday running to the hardware store and grocery store, etc, etc. Even to get breakfast for the family sunday morning. Tweaked the dizzy a little between stops and when it was running nicely, took it up on the highway - hit 75 and reallllyyyy wanted to shift into 4th... it's only 3 on the tree. I ran a few miles and got off at my exit - it was awesome! I think it was some time Monday the smile wore off.
