Motor reassembled

Today, George, the mechanic, assembled the motor.














A new camshaft from an SS50, it will let the valves stay open longer, to allow more gas to the cylinder. We had the cylinder machined from 49cc to 72cc, got a new piston and rings, new cam chain, and had the bearings of the crankshaft and rod changed. We will use the 19mm Keihin carburetor from the Chally, instead of the original 16mm.

Shiny stuff

I got the brushed and chromed parts back yesterday.













































Everything turned out well, except the mudguards. They were too rotten to be chromed properly... I found a new set of fenders, but I have to wait and see what other parts are needed for my third (and hopefully final) order though!
