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.
Thanks, Again guys. Yes I know the squared housing is undesirable. It’s what’s been on there since I had it for about 34 years. So to me it looks normal. I do think about changing it though. I do have an early HS40. I’m not sure what to do with. It would need the crank tapped and the...
Great info guys thanks for the replies. Ok so not all bad here. I do want the Rupp to use original lights and bulbs so the coil I have is no good. But the flywheel is good. I does use CDI ignition or what I would call electronic ignition. I took the HS50 that’s on the bike apart and...
I went to an automotive swap meet this past Sunday and found a pile of crap snowblower with to my surprise had a to what I believe a HS50 on it with a lighting coil! I paid 25 bucks for it and lugged it home. I got it running and the light works. Question. There is only one wire. I was...
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...
Same thing happened to me. Always just tightened by hand. I used a torque wrench on my HS50 and was surprised how much farther it went before the wrench clicked. Have not sheared a key on it since
To seat the bead. If your daring. I’ve done this with success before. Use some sort of flammable aerosol spray. I like silicone spray. Spray inside the tire a good mist and light it. It will blow up and seat the bead. Be careful if you do this. It works like a charm. Maybe google a video...
Wow some good info here. That tanks looks rough. I’ll just add what I did to my tank that wasn’t as bad as yours. I filled mine with vinegar. Just white distilled vinegar from the grocery store about 3 bucks a gallon here. I filled the tank and let it sit for a week. I then poured fish...
Keep it. The little money you get for it will be forgotten quickly. Find a spot to store it. I kept my Rupp in the attic for years. I thought about selling many times. Glad I didn’t. I regained interest in it again and when I’m done I’ll put it away again. I’ve owned it for 32 years or...
