Dave,

Thanks for the great recommendation. I will definitely
check out his shop.

I have two parts orders I'm waiting on, one arrived
yesterday: new muffler (old one has some poor welds),
points, condenser, and more grease fittings. I'm waiting
on a new muffler clamp set as I found there were only two
clamps holding the exhaust system on and an auto-style
clamp holding the muffler on.

Cheers

David

You are taking your [aluminum] heads to a machine shop...

Now is the time to introduce you to the specialist in
working on aluminum motorcycle parts: Arno St. Denis.
Arno repaired my aluminum Henderson engine cases, and
repaired my stripped-out Harley KH transmission drain
plug.

When you visit his shop, you will find Indian 4-cylinder
and Henderson engine cases littering his floor, just
waiting for his magic fingers. Why? They were made of
extremely porous sand-cast aluminum, and they need
special treatment that Arno, and very few others, can
provide.

Broken cylinder fins or cylinder head fins? Arno...

Arno's Custom Machine & Welding, 6707 Adelphi Rd,
University Park, MD 20782, Phone: (301) 779-0438

I've been diving down a bit deeper into the bike. I've
ordered new copper-core spark plug cables and new spark
plugs (18mm). I was removing the 18mm to 14mm adapter on
the front head and it snapped off. I'll be removing the
heads this weekend and take them down to a machine shop
to get tapped and cleaned up. I have noticed many missing
small items, especially grease fittings. I've replace all
the missing fitting on the front fork and lubed it. I
found two (of four) snapped off bolts that hold the back
of the air cleaner on the carb. I will have to drill and
tap those out as well. I will be removing the gas and oil
tanks this weekend also to get better access to the heads
as well as do a good flushing. So, before I get this out
on the road I will:
- Rewire the electrical (I've found a lot of dodgy
wiring.
- Flush the gas and oil tanks.
- New oil in engine an gearbox.
- Install a heel/toe clutch pedal.
- Rebuild the carb.
Lot's to do.

David
