Since we have a paint booth at work, I was able to paint one of the fenders just to see if I like it or not. I think I like it, so I will get everything else prepped and ready!
I am also debating on making a new clutch cover using the old one as a template. There are just too many imperfections on the "old" one.

Last night I worked on removing the flywheel from the engine. What a bugger that was. I used a steering wheel puller, the one with the 3 holes in it so I can thread it into the 3 holes in the flywheel. It was on there pretty good, but eventually came off. I thought it was going to pull the threads out of the flywheel!
Has anyone had any good luck with converting this old HS35 to a solid state ignition? I was thinking about ordering a Tecumseh Mega Fire module because I don't really want to take the flywheel off again once it is back together. :wink:

This ignition module is supposed to do away with the points and condenser, but still use your coil. It has good reviews on the smokestak forum but didn't know if anyone here has used it.

I now have the engine disassembled and ready for cleanup and then paint. The bore looks smooth and clean with no scoring whatsoever. A little hone in the cylinder, lap the valves, and we should be good to go. The plan is to blast everything in the blast cabinet with the walnut shells in it.
Got some parts in from OldMiniBikes warehouse for it too. A big shout out to owend for sending me some much needed governor parts. I still need to purchase the 2 oil seals.
