48? Whizzer barn find project
- Thread starter SlowBalt
- Start date
Those are 2 different linkage set ups. One has the throttle & compression release coming off a clamp on the head bolts & the other from a plate that bolts to the intake.
I have the spring & linkage. I'll get it together for you or do you only need the spring? I looked at your pics & the top spring bracket is on your seat post bolt.

I think I only need the spring. Is it a very strong spring or could I just grab a spring from the hardware store?

Thanks for all the help Jay.
Just for the **** of it I went to the hardware store today and it turns out they had a spring for $2.
Now all I need is a gas cap ,controls ,cables ,tires ,tubes fender struts and a drive belt.
Unfortunately it will be a few weeks before I have the cash to get her going.

I like this! Say, the engine in that foam, was it just the old one from the barn find or did you get another from somewhere?

PS, I was looking at some thread that you had a picture in August 2012 and looked like the same engine. You had it on deck for a while?

Can anyone help with a main drive belt. I have no idea what size it is or wear to get one.
I'm in the home stretch. Down to tires ,tubes , compression release lever and drive belt before I fire it up.

Tires came in today.
I went with the closest match to the Goodyear tires that were on the bike when I got it. The belt ,gas cap and fender struts also came in. Unfortunately the struts fit perfect in the rear, but are 1 inch to short in the front . So I will have to weld in an extension.
Unfortunately progress will slow for a wile. It's only12 outside in the shed and my space heater can't even come close to keeping it workable out their now. Also I am being transferred to the night shift at work 8pm to 8am. So that will take a while to get use to . But I vow to have it running by spring.
