Dear Listmembers,

List traffic seems a little slow this week so I thought I'd try to
stimulate it a little...

Questions regarding my recently purchased '85 Westy:

1.      Should I be concerned with a engine compression ratio of
        #1 150
        #2 150
        #3 125
        #4 150

        - regardless of the numbers it runs great.

2.      Where would I order a new knob for my stove? I've checked the online
        parts lists to no avail. Is it simply not listed?

3.      There is a lot of rust around the propane tank although no holes are
        apparent. Should this concern me? The underbody was treated and is
fine.

4.      My wife and I would like to have what little rust there is on the body
        repaired and have the body repainted in it's original Savannah Beige
        Clearcoat Metallic. Should we get it touched up or completely
repainted?
        What should we expect to pay for this and who should we trust with such
        work? Maaco?

5.      I have another question about the cruise control which came with it but
        will ask it after I look at the documentation which came with it. It
        doesn't work and I am not sure how to get it working again. I'll be
more
        specific when I know the make and model of the device.

TIA,
Chris
