A rider ...

[pd]

Hey , it's starting to look like a motor , again :



One of my favorite ham-fisted POs took his toll on the top rear cooling fins . What you see missing were all cracked and jagged at the head surface . Nothing to really build on , so I simply leveled them off as best I could .



If anyone has a viable suggestion as to fin replacement , I'd sure like to hear it . TIA.

I'm working on the stator .

Tig Weld the fins back on.

[pd]

If there were any fins to weld back on , tig would be the way to do it .

I suppose I could find a roached air cooled head from something and borrow some fins .
I also thought of maybe forming a block of aluminum in that opening and then cutting 'slots' .

Question :

What is the measurement between the transmission hanger arms suppose to be ?

An additional question :

The transmission axle spacer on the far right side , what is it's width ?

[pd]

I may be off a bit , but I think the inside width of the transmission arms is close to 5 7/8" .

As for the spacer , I'll just measure what's left for space and what's needed for pulley alignment and go from there .

I sanded and repainted my frame last night . High Gloss Black .



Before I did that , there were a few dents , dings and scratches in the frame tubing . Mostly on the crash bars . I filled them in with solder and filed them flush . That works pretty good , as I can't tell exactly where they were after painting .

Thanks , Ken .

Working on my Phelon stator . I want to check the coils , but I can't find any values to go by .

Does anyone know what resistances I need to have ?

Another question :

Where is the kick start return spring anchor end suppose to seat ?

[kjwiley]

The spring rest on the crankcase and needs to be wound. The outer end of the spring connects to the lower part of the kick starter at the crank shaft end of the kick starter.

Thanks for the reply , Ken .

The spring I have doesn't seem to be able to reach the crankcase . There is a hole at about 4 o'clock  in the outer kick shaft mount plate that would be a logical 'hooking' location , but the spring sits pretty cockeyed and doesn't go into the hole as far as it seems it should .

Maybe I'm trying to mount it backwards . It seems logical that the hook end of the spring hooks around the underside of the kick lever and the other end should have a good hold somewhere on the frame .

The tail of mine goes against the bottom plate, not the crankcase.

Well my spring is straight on its end and I still had problems getting it into both holes. If your shaft goes in and out easy remove the shaft thread your spring then add the shaft then kicker. Mainly its shear luck to get it in place.

Looks like I have some more exploring to do .

Thanks , Guys .

I'll post how mine ends up .
