They're low beams from a four headlight '88 Chevy Silverado .. I've always thought they looked like they were made for the 129 ... I cut the holes in the original grille blockoff plate to the size of the bulbs and just use a simple spring loaded bail on the back side to hold 'em in. I think I've replaced bulbs twice in about 16 years.

Here's a little closer picture

Merry Christmas everyone.

My 105, with a fresh rebuilt motor, seems to be really lacking in power. It starts up and idles ok, but it just lugs real hard under any load - even free-reving. I have replaced the entire ignition system, checked timing, both with a feeler gauge and a light (20 btdc), reset valve clearance, swapped carbs with my 104, even verified cam/crank timing. Compression is good.

I haven't tried it yet, maybe this weekend, but I am wondering if the hydro could be in a state of disrepair and just pulling down the motor? I am thinking of unbolting the motor, sliding it forward enough to get off the trans coupling, and seeing if it will free-rev at all..

Has anybody ever had or heard of this happening, or is there maybe something else engine-wise I am missing? TIA.

Torin -- sounds more like a government problem. Maybe your Governor is on vacation in the Bahamas for the winter. Give Charlie's FAQ a look to see if it's set right. http://cubfaq.com/govadjust.html

I hope that you all get to sleep in and have visions of Cubbie's dancing in your dreams.

May the new comming year bring you all health and happiness.

Ok, Thanks Ken and Bryan. That is one place I will check. Although it sounds like the engine is being pulled down under load, as opposed to just being RPM limited by the governor, I won't rule out anything at this point.

Got Ken Updike's yellow book for Christmas.. life is good.

Torin - "sounds like the engine is being pulled down under load" - Do you know how / why a gov works?

Hope y'all had a Merry Christmas....

I just noticed THREE Originals, posted on that greedy auction site..... Only ONE has any bids.... They are all set to end in 12 hours or less......

Just a Heads up as I am too poor to even THINK about it right now......
