[QUOTE="nobog, post: 1475738, member: 145774"] Motor ready to go back into the chassis - first photo - timing. Yes, those are "points", our younger generation may have never seen such a thing but those provide the ignition switch to fire the plug from the earliest motor made to the mid 80's. After working on such, you realize what a wonderful thing CDI is, much like fuel injection. [ATTACH=full]21174[/ATTACH] So... here it is in all its 10hp glory! (the service manual claims 15 hp @ 11,000 rpm but I don't know if I buy that) [ATTACH=full]21175[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]21176[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]21177[/ATTACH] Notice the exhaust port on the cylinder below, there is no mounting studs or tapped threads for the pipe, the pipe seals with an Oring and is held in place by the way the pipe is mounted to the frame - first time I've seen anything like this ! [ATTACH=full]21178[/ATTACH] Next up, final assembly [/QUOTE]
