    HS40 timing marks?

    Hi, Putting this HS40 back together after rebuild and just wanted to confirm the timing marks are correct?

Think I might have read Rupp's used a 3" PTO? Are there any other bikes that used the 3" PTO? There must...

    Fuel line

    Hi, Having a problem when I order "genuine Tecumseh" 1/4" fuel line it's thicker then the original. This is a problem when routing the line especially with the HS40 when fuel line goes from tank to carb through the shroud under the block fins. One of the part #'s I've ordered is 30962 which is...

    The person has this listed as "Sears Scamp" but I couldn't find anything like it looking online. It looks like a Rupp to me or mixed parts from a few bikes? Would like to know what it is before buying. Thanks in advance

This HS40 was suppose to have come off a Bonanza and PTO is not drilled/tapped. Not sure if it's original factory sticker on engine plate? (see attached photo). I always take...

    Vintage gas cap

    Looking for one of these gas caps in pictures. It is original to a Hilltopper but seen on other bikes. I bought a new all black one with vent knob on top but is was to small. The inside threads on one I need seems to be 1-3/4". Might post on wanted section as well. Good used one would work. Thanks
