I agree on the seat. Didn't know the fuel tanks were different, and the seats are real similar in literature pictures.

The 78 liquifire fuel tank is slightly taller under the tool box and the 78 liquifire seat is thicker than the 78 cyclone, matching the fuel tank.

Been sitting for 10+ years and he doesn't know what the compression is, but it ran when they parked it.

It's always fun to learn new stuff. Just one more piece of trivia I can use to impress friends who can laugh at my vast store of useless knowledge.

Rumor has it that it's been sold to a guy in Indiana.
