Title: Georgia Winter Ride
Post by: HGontheHD on February 08, 2015, 03:45:17 PM: Took the Wizard for a ride today. Put a reproduction carb on, put a compression stuffer plus a new cover, cleaned and sealed the tank, replaced the throttle and choke cables,repaired the threads on the flywheel to hold the pinion gear and off she goes. I also pulled the jug and cleaned the old carbon deposits. Starts on third kick every time.

It has to be the fastest stock green Wizard/Simplex I've seen. That could be because it's the only green one I've seen.

Wayne calls it Sinclair Green and I have to agree with him there.
It's missing the taillight shroud so matching 50+ year old Sinclair green might be a challenge.
Do you think black would match?
