Marathon barn find
i found this old girl in northern Wisconsin last year, the guy told me that the original engine blew and him and his buddys thought it would be a great idea to get her ruinnin'. well after a couple cases of beer this is what they came up with! he told me that the 40ish hp CCW from a john deere cyclone had plenty of power to do wheelies with two fat guys on it
 i think i'll take his word on that one. anyway i think i will drop a stock engine in it for now and use it at the shop until the right v twin comes along. the old shop is going up for sale in a week or so! if somebody is looking a big block marathon let me know or shes going on e-bay    |

Re: Marathon barn find
Line that belt up and it will be 10 MPH faster. That could be some fun.

Re: Marathon barn find
when i went to look at it the guy told me it was a runner, so i'm lookin' for the throttle cable but there was none
 i ask him about it and he told me that they would just tie a string on the carb and pull it |

Re: Marathon barn find
Well I haven't done that, but a string on the sparkplug wire of a cushman is a good kill switch.
