Kick Starter Set Up

Post by Steverino » Fri Oct 30, 2015 10:23 pm

I now understand how to properly go about setting up the kick start mechanism. The process of indexing everything is pretty interesting. Thank You for all your patient help today Loud Mouse.
I would post a pic but the kick start shaft snap ring broke so I can't button everything up yet.
Thank Again LM

Unwrapping a New Old Stock Tool Box

Post by Steverino » Sun Nov 08, 2015 1:44 am

My New Old Stock Tool Box showed up today. It was in it's sealed original packaging.

I cut the plastic bag just enough to get the tool box out.

The wrapping paper was pliable and unfolded without falling apart.

I was a little relieved to see some shiny paint peeking out.

Cause for concern was what appeared to be moisture. It turned out just to be some kind of tape residue for binding the wrapping.

The paint is good, there is just something about the flash on my camera that makes things a little off.

While I unwrapped it I couldn't help but think about the person who wrapped it up all those years ago.

A real time capsule.

And a little bit like Christmas morning.... :-)
