That looks great! Couple questions. How did you clean the parts? Everything looks brand new. What did you use for a crank shaft?

Yes you can but finding a lighting coil and flywheel for an early HS40 is a little difficult and pricy. But they do come up for sale. If you can live with the more square shroud there are more options out there. I’m no expert, But I just went through this. I ended up finding a 1970 lighting...

They are out there. Expensive. Good option is to find a snowblower. They are usually cheap and be converted over

Send them a message. They are super helpful for me. I used the paint code that had provided for the red for 1970 Roadster. I had a pant supply place mix up the paint. I used acrylic urethane. Came out fantastic! Color is right on.

Merry Christmas

Did you sand blast those parts or something else?

Great Work! Cant wait to see it done

it’s worth putting some money into. You have a lot there. Just a FYI. There is a swap meet on Sunday May 6 at Rentscher Field in East Hartford. It’s an Automotive type meet but there is always small engines, go kart mini bike stuff too. You could probably fine a nice vintage Tecumseh engine...

Beautiful job!

Where are you located?

Just got this one for my 1970 Roadster from black widow motor sports. Super nice piece.
