Hi everyone! I am new to this forum and actually to the world of scouts so I am going to lay down my scenario and hope someone has an answer that I can understand as I am not much of a car guru (but learning). So here it is...
I am interested in purchasing a 77' Scout traveler from a co-worker. He took it in July to have it smogged (it passed) and because I am interested he took it again a few days ago and the tech would not test it because of the charcoal filter/canister. Now I have no idea what that is but I did look into it and know it has to do with the vapor system (or something like that) and my co-worker knows nothing about cars (less than me) so he is telling me he will sell it to me as it for a cheaper price if I still want it. So...my question, is this something that is easy and lesser expensive to fix or should I stay away all together?
Any advice would be very helpful.
