I just acquired a 67 520 in pretty good condition. It has the 1300 motor in it with the nikki carb. It starts up on the first crank and runs very well. Everything seems to be in good working order except for the stick having a lot of play in it. Any advice on how to get rid of some of the slop would be greatly appreciated :biggrin:

Anyways, I know everybody loves pictures so here she is
