we might be getting somewhere.
are you saying it stumbles weakly slower and slower then finally dies ?

or does it shout off cleanly, just like someone turned off the key ?
I think you are saying it the first one.

don't think I've seen the year or version yet.
it's not a diesel ..
it could be an air-cooled..
and I am sure it's a waterboxer actually ..
but I don't think I've seen which one.
I think it's an 83 to 85 1.9 waterboxer .
is this a test ?
