Yes, I Read through a few of the Topics on the FAQ's page here and a few other Sites also before purchase.
I figured I'd have at least a "Little" work ahead of me Purchasing a "Running" 149 and Not a Totally "Restored" 149.
So I wanted to Familiarize myself with and "Understand" the Mechanics as much as possible before I Dove in Blindly.
I Read many post and came across the Infamous "Cork Gasket" several times during my research but haven't read through the "How To" Link you Posted. GOOD INFO!!!!
Thanks!!!
I Have through much DEMISE Finally down through the years convinced myself "If it Ain't Broke, DON'T FIX IT" that's a whole nother Story, LoL
Although I do understand Good Preventive Maintenance will keep Machinery up and Running...
Anyway CL ad Stated Runs Great and Everything works as it Should, so I jumped on the Opportunity.
This is what I found when I opened it up!
And after Bath I didn't realize until I read the Link you posted the Hydro Vent, Much like the Pneumatic Air valve Mufflers I deal w/ at work in the rear end Case, I left Uncovered!!!!!
That's ok I planned on Hydro Fluid Filter Change anyway!!!!
Again, Thanks for the Link, GOOD INFO!!!
