I think these would work with minimal effort.

Give the complete description what is the length and was it split? Does it have a lip. Looking for a description that you could make the part from. Do you know the actual thickness, guessing 1/16 correct?

so after fixing the broken starter which you say broke from compression was it still hard to pull? You said you checked the .003 lash and it was OK so you did not adjust anything but now it pulls over ok but no start is that a correct statement?

do you have an old one or the dimensions of it? I would think the bronze would last the longest. you could also get Delrin which is very machinable.

Cant you make bronze bushes?

making some bushes

how did the valve lash change by installing a flywheel?

Make some bronze bushes. You can get material from McMaster Carr I’ll post pics later.

I always wondered what happened to chubby from the little rascals.

Although I was going to replace all the fork legs and outer tubes, I still had to get the inner legs out to see where the springs and bushes went. I also used a hydraulic jack but those dam things fought me all the way

Wow that color really pops! Going to be a sweet ride!

On my e model there were little wire retaining rings that were a pain to get apart then the innards pull out. Mine were all rusted in and it was difficult to get it apart. I wound up replacing all of it except the inner springs. Made new inner legs and outer legs and made larger bronze bushes.

Mine is a 3 amp ac lighting coil there were others with higher amperage and a couple of diodes to provide dc

Tillotsons fit right on and so does stock air filter but they are not as easy to start so I went back to a stock carb.

I took it apart and soaked the laminations in evaporust and it came out like new. Hard part was getting off the coil retainers. I got a new crankshaft from Jacks years ago that i used.

I did this to the hs50 I put in my Powell to look like the period correct HS40 motor that should have been in it.

air is a insulator more compression requires more voltage for the same gap. Closing the gap is just a diagnostic test to try to figure out why your test is failing.

Black has higher compression? If yes requires more voltage to fire plug. Try closing gap to .018-.020

sounds like a possible lean or perfect idle mixture try richening the idle a bit and see if that helps. And hope it's not the rod!

The small valve is on the exhaust side, intake valve is the same. Dont overthink this, if you have spark fuel and compression and its timed right and mixture is correct you get boom. One of the three components is missing.
