Hi all,
Well, since it was a long weekend, I decided to take the cute little v7
out of the living room(yep) and wash it and check it over real good.
I hose it off and use some simple green on the wheels and motor and rear
drive. SHINY! Hmmm, front axle nut is loose, no biggie. Time to put the
fuel lines back on(p.o. drained tank, bless his heart) add some gas and
see what it sounds like. Yes, I bought it on the guys word that it is a
runner.
So I add the gas. Then I go to hook up the battery. No battery! Well,
that's o.k., cause I have some around. Charge one up, drop it in. I turn
the key and the dash lights pop on. Cool. I turn the key some more and
IT STARTS! It didn't even turn over twice! I shut it off cause I wasn't
expecting it to start so quickly! I laugh out loud and start it again.
Vroom, vrooom. Wow! runs great.! Hey, the horn wroks too! How 'bout the
lights? Yep! Low and high beams! Woo Hoo!
I didn't get a chance to ride it yet, so that report will be posted
soon!
Cheers!
