Well, I've been away for a while. I had to get one house ready to sell, and one house ready to move into. But the extended summer left me with time to just about finish my Powell "H".
I tried to keep it as original as I could with the limited information I could find on it. Please...... I need comments, suggestions and tips on what everyone thinks I need to do to finish it.
The HS40 runs perfect, but the replacement drive belt seems too tight and it won't coast, hence the tie wrap around the belt adjuster until I can figure out how, and what exactly that pulley system really does. I have the original Powell belt, but used a Hi-Power B31 belt. It seemed to be the same size. But not sure why it won't coast.
The first ride (5 minutes) was smooth, and stable and it felt like brand new. Even on those 40+ year old tires!
Of course I'm still looking for that elusive Powell foil sticker for the clutch cover. I got in touch with a few people to try to duplicate it, with no luck. I even reached out to that guy on ebay that makes the yellow sticker copy with of course, no luck.
More pictures to follow as time permits.
