This is also good read: http://www.pinrepair.com/minibikes/tecumsehmb.htm#pto I believe this great info was put together by one of our own members.

Wanted to add something that happen after my last post. Think you might find this funny as I did, after spending a lot of time removing the flag decal as my last post stated the housing was now ready to paint. Before painting I was going to use blue painters tape to mask the maintenance decal...

Just wanted to follow up. The soap & hot water worked. After soaking decal for a few minutes it came off easy with the help of a new razor blade. It was easier than I thought it would be. No harm to paint. Thanks again to all who replied.

Hi, Sorry I should of been more clear on my post. I haven't seen the type of switches in my pics being sold for several years now. If I come across any will let you know.

It's been about 2 months since decal was put on. Didn't think about the soap will try that with the hot water. Thanks!

Yes I buy all my decals from Paul. I did call him before posting my OP and he said good luck getting it off. He didn't think it would be easy and thought I would have to strip paint to get decal off. I will try the suggestions and report back. Thanks for the replies!

Hot water will be first thing I try. Not going to reuse the decal. Thanks

Is there a way to remove the flag decal on Tecumseh engine without damaging paint? The engine was recently rebuilt & painted. It got some scratches when shipped to customer so had them ship back for me to repaint (see pics). Was going to try and remove flag decal, repaint top half & put new...

Hi Is this the type of brake light switch you are looking for? These are used on the Heathkit Hilltopper which used a lot of same parts as Heald.

Now that's a mans bike! Nice find. Don't think I've seen that suspension using the shocks on the seat with swing arm setup. I'm thinking it might be a comfortable ride instead of where swing arm usually is at bottom of frame with rear tire....

Heathkit Hilltopper used the H50-65286H Heathkit Boonie Bike used a 5HP Briggs (will post # later)

There are some gas stations that also sell "off road" gas. This works well for small engines. I only use 4 cycle "engineered" fuel sold at lowes or home depot. It's pricy at $20 a gal but can leave in tank for up to 2 years without damaging tank or carb. If I road my bikes more often I would...

That is a great price. Most of these upholstrey people charge way to much, that's if they even want to do the work! If you get a chance can you post pics of the Boonie Bike seat. I have a Boonie and would like to see after it's done. Take care

I have a NON-lighted flywheel & coil that was removed from an HS40 that I converted to lighted. PM me if still needed.

I can see getting scammed on Marketplace, Craigslist, etc but how can it happen on Ebay? If you get scammed on Ebay it's your fault for not following the ebay "protection" rules. As long as you buy or sell using Ebay rules you are protected by Ebay guarantee . Sure it's a hassle but eventually...
