Just a little advice for those of you who have poor throttle response and a

When I bought my '65 Scout 80, it ran like a top, had plenty of power it
seemed, and had no hesitation during acceleration. However, it seems my Scout
has been slowly declining in general performance over the past year and a half
or so in which I've owned it....<s> I found it was none other than a bad
wire...
How dumb of me not to check. Anyway, check your old IH wires is the moral...

Another good check, throttle plate opening.  The last two used vehicles I've
acquired were both failing to open the carb wide open.  Cheap power.
