Once it warmed up it ran OK. Maybe you need to adjust the choke for fall.
I re-do mine spring & fall.

If the Travelall is like my Scout, look for:
  water damage\corrosion to the light switch or high beam switch
  bad grounds
  a fusible link that gave its all to protect your electrics

See the Fleckster's web site for a pic:

Maybe John F. knows who it belongs to?

If anybody does have info on this, please DO post it on the digest.
I like the 80\800 body style, but have too much invested in my II's running
gear to sell it.  And the rust is starting to win again...
