Heres a story: I had my ol 87 4x4 in Brookings. It was Feb and during a
cold spell (40 F below) I needed Gas and beer, so on a warm day, it was 25
below, I went out to fire her up. The whole front end was in a drift. I
thought no prob., I have 4wd. So I got in and went to set the choke. The
gas pedal wouldnt move. I dug out the hood and the drift continued into the
engine compartment. I took off the air cleaner and sprayed de-icer on the
carb and linkage. That worked, but when I started her up, well she sounded
like an ol John Deere two cyl tractor...thump thump thump. She was spitting
out black smoke, youd though I was burning coal! Anyways, I put some new
gas in her and she evened out and I put at least 40k on her after that before
I wrecked. Even after that, the engine still ran like a top!
Still alot of die hard chubby lovers up there.
I got 4x4 stories too! Even with the gutttless wonder (my ol 87 239)!
