Default Re: Looking at a G1 issues?

Hi Steve I have 2 G1's and their a strong running machine, but since their the age that they are some of them need a little tlc. Check it out see if it will start and check compression a good compression should be at or around 120lbs. Except the 82 model which is a little lower. Id make sure that it will run frontwards and backwards because those type engines were designed to run either way. I have a 82 G1 that I stretched 10 inches longer and it will pull me and a friend and my dog and I can also pull my camper all over my property with it no problem. Their a strong running machine if you go over them real good and there are a lot of people on here that own one or 2 hope that helps alittle.
