Mac,
I wanted to let you know the BS 5 HP needed a ring kit, because it was pumping oil up to the top and the valve guides were shot. Now, there is no blame on you at all. I took it to
MDB with a new air filter and a new spark plug and it went to the machine shop. They determined it needed a new block because the valve guides were not replaceable. I need to find a new block 3/4" shaft and would like your help to find one at my expense.
If you want? I will etch prime, high build prime and two stage paint your bike for material costs only. If you want to see the BC Mini as an example, you can. Help me find a suitable replacment so I can re do the BS motor for my beater/rider. I will pay whatever it takes to get it going. I take full responsibility for my purchases.
Set a goal of one year and $1000.00 and rebuild that bike. If not you will be sorry, you sold the wheels. DO NOT let this precious oppertunity slip away. It may be the only surviving bike in the USA.
TT
