IIRC it had no return spring on the carb and the throttle cable was rigged on with tape and a radiator hose clamp. Some real nice work on behalf of the P.O. It's come a long way man!

Where are the pics of the Emu and new tires?

Looks great, enjoy it.

Thanks John! I was totally ignorant when I bought it so I had no idea what to look for in a 40. I'm still pretty ignorant, but I know a lot more than I used to. Yeah, the t-case puked on your driveway - sorry. I think you tweaked the carb. Would you believe the throttle cable still has the hose and the hose clamp? Ryan, and certainly not I, didn't have any better solution. Hey, it works. I don't think the other stuff was my rig, but maybe.

The OME is going on shortly. The new tires will have to wait. The ing washer and dryer had to be replaced.
