Balloon or flag....

[Howtech]

Hi everyone. I'm restoring a 67'/70' Golden Pinto with a H35 Tecumseh ('67) motor for my grandson. I'd like to know if the H35 had the balloon or flag decal on the shroud. :shrug:

Thanks for any help.

Be interesting to figure a break down on the tanks, My 70 H35 is steel center fill I wonder if the side fill has any corellation with plastic and year :shrug:

that would make a good Tech thread, all the different style tanks...metal, plastic, center fill, right side fill, left side..etc....oh yeah and then there is the 1/2 tanks like my Bonanza came with....

here's a pic I grabbed off E-Bay...looks like the tanks with the seam that runs around vertically are metal.....? :shrug:

Probably should start a tec, we jacked this one... I have some horizontal seam center fill in steel

hmmmm..the plot thickens. Your right I remember my fathers Tec powered Ariens snowblower had a steel tank with horiz. seam ...that would have been aroung '69 or 70'.

Would be cool to get an idea what was "correct" for different bikes too, although I think the answer may be that the mfg. used whatever was available or lying around that day and so it varied.....:shrug:

And on a original topic note, my 1970 h50 has a baloon decal faint but there?

 

[Howtech]

Awesome! Thanks guys!

Yeah, some contradicting pictures. As mentioned....whatever was on the shelf went on the bike.

Also on the original ad look at the decals

The white Tec looks to have the Balloon or a big flag? while the blag is small Flag

Hi How, Do you have a seller in mind for the decals/stickers you are going to use? If you are interested, there are some threads that talk about the quality and correctness of the reproductions. Don't tell Kustom if you find some good ones, just me!

Drat!!!! That double crossing Zeeman...foiled again!!

I think the black tank has the baloon decal and the white tank has the flags:doah::doah:

Call up that chick and tell her to turn the other bike around so we can settle this......:thumbsup:

 

[zeeman]

Yeah, and give me her number. She's hot. I actually remember that page well from the catalog. The Sears, Herters, etc. I wore those pages out looking and wishing.

What do you guru's think?

And as for telling that chick to move the mini.....she's probably too old to lift anything now.

If that's a '70 catalog.......... I would have been 13/14.

Hey....I wonder if she's single and still likes minibikes. :shrug:

So what do you guys think of those repro-decals off ebay?
