All of the suggestions you made had been done, what I needed was a real sustained long drive. We went up NY #22 and the round trip was in excess of 400 miles, the little wagon performed quite nicely! My only glitch was a broken throttle cable which was repaired with a bicycle brake or shifter cable.Thanks also for your advice about the overdrive, I may attempt that anyway.
Cool! There's nothing like a long drive to shake out bugs, get familiar
with the thing and enjoy it! 21mpg in a waggin' ain't bad!
So that's a 3 speed without OD? How fast did you cruise?
