Hello,
Just purchased an 88 All-trac for $800. It's been sitting in his garage for a couple of years, he was the original owner.
It's pretty worn down and rusted with 355xxx KM's on it. I would love to restore it, but it's my first project car. I've been trying to research non-stop and trying to take everything in.
Just some questions.. I put a good battery in and took it for a quick test run. I was on 2nd gear and floored it but it just slowly accelerated, so it's lacking a lot of power.
But before proceeding to fix those problems, would it be more worth it to do a complete tear down? (I'd like to rebuild the engine eventually). Also get rid of the rust. Or should I try to fix all the problems I can before doing a tear down?
I'll post some pics later, but any advice would be greatly appreciated.
I apologize for the noobness.
