It’s not allowing me to attach a photo - it’s saying the photo is too large.

Engine & Transmission / Re: Help I Need a Flywheel
« on: October 05, 2019, 06:44:05 PM »
I had Wayne rebuild the engine and he told me that the flywheel would work. When I went to put it on, the threads on the crankshaft begin before the flywheel. So the pinion gear doesn’t reach the end of the threads because the flywheel is in the way... This puts too much force on the flywheel causing it to freeze up. Without the flywheel, the motor turns fine. It has all new internals - piston, bearings and etc. I just think that this particular flywheel is too wide for the shaft...

Engine & Transmission / Help I Need a Flywheel

Hey Guys, I got my Simplex Automatic all put together but I haven't been able to get the flywheel to work. I've got a Phelon flywheel but it's to wide for the shaft and the pinion gear just tightens the flywheel. Does anyone have or know of a narrower wheel I can use/buy? Thanks!

Engine & Transmission / Engine Help Needed
« on: June 28, 2018, 05:06:18 PM »
Hey Guys, I recently bought a 1956 Simplex Service Cycle Automatic and when I bought it the engine was completely torn apart... I honestly have no clue where to start. I want to rebuild the engine now that it’s apart, but I don’t really know what exactly I can do to it.
I’m thinking about having the block and head soda blasted. Is that a good idea? What else should I do? Replace the piston? Should I have it re-sleeved? Any help wold be deeply appreciative! Thanks!
BTW, how can you tell a 125cc for a 150cc engine?

Introductions / Whats's up from San Diego

Hey what's up guys, my name is Connor Arnold. I'm 15 years old and I live in sunny San Diego. I'm a big vintage bicycle collector, some of you guys might know me from the Cabe (Connor).
Anyways, I recently finished up my first 49' Whizzer Pacemaker and since then I've been hooked on motorized stuff. Last weekend, my dad and I drove up to Huntington Beach to pick up 2 Simplex automatics from a guy CJ (he posted some stuff about them a year ago).
One is an OG 1954 Simplex Anniversary edition Automatic. I spent all day yesterday and today getting it cleaned up and it came out looking amazing! I've decided to sell it because I really don't need 2 of them... It's currently listed on the Cabe and If I have time tomorrow, I'll list it on here.
The other one is an older restoration 56'. It's been pretty beaten up over the years and when I got it the engine was all torn apart. Hoping to get it up and running this summer, ride it and then fully restore it. Don't know what it needs in terms of parts. Probably going to hit up Wayne for some stuff... Anyone got any tips, tricks or recommendations for putting the engine back together? I know on Whizzer's to coat certain parts of the engine internals. But don't really know anything about these bikes... Should be a fun project and any help would be deeply appreciated! Thanks!
