89 year old neighbor lady stopped by asking if I was interested in her husbands old M. He died 5 years ago and it has been setting in a leanto(sp). I charged the battery, flushed the gasoline tank, cleaned the carb and started it.
It will idle, but won't take the throttle without pulling the choke out. It is a 1940(65000 serial number) with decent tin and one new rear tire. One rear rim needs patched. She said he paid $1800 for it 15 years ago and that is what she wanted for it. I offered $800 and left the ball in her court. She went to school with my mother and I felt kind of bad, but just couldn't come anywhere near $1800.
