I'm Joining The Club!!

[BloodyKnuckles]

Running tomorrow?!

Hope it goes well, I know I'm jealous!

Good news!

I got it running yesterday after I replaced the points, condenser, cap, rotor and coil. Pulled the spark plugs and they are new. The crazy thing is the tops of the pistons are bright aluminum which blows my mind. I'm wondering if the engine has been rebuilt. Man, that would be great.

What I have to do;

Repair or replace the gas tank

Rebuild the carb

Replace the fuel pump

Rebuild the braking system

Repair a ton of wiring

Once I get this stuff done I'll be driving in style.

Can't wait!

Nice to have a short list. Good luck on the fuel tank. Seems just about everyone needs one of those but new stainless steel springs are now available for mounting it. Congrats on the startup.

How could you see the tops of the pistons without removing the head?

[BloodyKnuckles]

Well I thought that I was looking at the pistons. Maybe I'm not. Is it the top of the valves?? If it is They look good which is another good sign.

So what would I be looking at?

Sorry for my ignorance. I thought I was looking at the pistons. I just went through my manual and realised that I was looking at the valves.

Amature:rolleyes:
