The FI seems intact - don't know much about it. I'll probably be leaning on others for help in troubleshooting. Previous owners have a nice set of service records back to the mid 1990's. From that point forward, it looks like it was 100% 'serviced' by others (light bulbs, oil changes, etc...). > > There is an "overflow" hose under the RF fender that > is usually cracked or > broken.

I looked underneath the shell and took a picture: http://members.cox.net\witfir\Hubertfrontttrunk.jpg looks pretty good but I'll pull the hose and check it - thanks for the tip. > > Is it AT or 4-speed? Both are good. AT - I kind of like it.... it gives me a free hand to wave at others > __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
