Oh! the SHAME!! Yellow Peril TOWED HOME!! 140-160 1973

$@## won't respond (at least not well) to throttle input and dies!

Also note that there is no clicking with throttle opening although the
throttle switch is good and clean. Just got that way over the past couple
days, before which it was running pretty well.

I suspect either a wiring problem, too lean a mixture or both.

Haven't got into serious diagnosis yet - everything LOOKS ok.

Meanwhile any ideas would be welcomed with open (if greasy) arms.

The 122 wagon did a good job of towing it using a chain and pipe over pretty
hilly terrain. Ben decided that that kind of driving is not much fun.
