Brings back memories. My first Landy was a '71 2A, it was only a year old so not much ever went wrong with it. I drove that bucket for 7 years as my daily driver, sold it to a buddy who drove it another 5 years. It got reframed by the time He sold it, and damned if it isn't still running around NH. Oh yeah, I remember the rear main leaked just enough to get oil on the starter shaft so the bendix wouldn't engage when the temp dropped below freezing, but as long as I remembered to park with enough room in front of me to get the crank in, It never mattered. she always started on the first spin of the crank.
