Georgia Winter Ride
« 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.

Looking Good!  What it that I see, is that grass?  We have been covered with snow for 2 weeks now!

It is indeed grass albeit dead grass just the way I like it no mowing right now.
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.

I should have shut up while I was ahead.
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?

Paint it with the green and then try scuffing it with a scotch-Brite pad to take the shine off.  You could also paint it dark grey before the green and sand through in a few places to give it some faux patina.
