Skip the technical stuff and spray some ether in the air cleaner.

Don't you dare do that with operational glowplugs OR grid heaters!!

OK, fine. Don't blow it up. Or start it on fire...

Not to hijack the thread....mike, we always sprayed the hell out of our choke cable on the 140. If it's the same wound spring style cover as ours, they love a good soaking of wd40 or whichever is your favorite stuff. Bent it one winter from freezing up and learned our lesson.

Castle makes a white lithium grease with a red straw deal...
Use that in all cables and linkages... Works nice on seat slides

god this thing is really pushing into the negative investment.  i think one of my worst choices.  bah



Got it on the lift tonight, found one vacated driver lower ball joint bolt, and the other two were loose.  fixed, and test drove.  stopped for fuel and rear left locked and smoking.

changed out Caliper.  delco copper washers supplied wrong size by a lot but get it on and bled. 


no pulls or drags and all seems good.  gona put 200 miles on it tomorrow.

meh

they just want stupid money for them even to 200K

they are sweet little cars- just seem bitchy to get the bugs out that come with high miles.

Something went in the transmission on the diplomat. 

I was finding them pretty common between $2000-$2500 but high milage.  Right now I have just been running the truck I will probably pick one up this spring
