Thank You, everybody- It is indeed, a Nova, made by the Nova Company in Gardena, CA. I have heard of Taco's and Bonanza's and Ruttmans (oh my !! ) but never a Nova. I'm gonna have fun getting this little beast back ion shape
I have some videos of the scrub brake working, and the engine running and when revved the clutch engages, but they came to me on Messenger on Facebook, and I can't for the life of me figure out how to get them on here...
I'm sorry, I am trying to delete the extra one, and can't seem to...If anybody on here knows how to get rid of this double post, please, by all means, do. Sorry...
Okay, question for the gurus (probably the first of many)- There is a chain idler that holds tension against the lower part of the chain...anybody ever seen this on a Nova before? Got to actually ride it for the first time today, a bit slow on the uptake but thats understandable, as I am 210+ pounds, but once it starts moving, its plenty fast for me
well, with new fork and front and rear wheel bearings, fenders, and a few stickers on the engine, I'm gonna call it done, NOT a restoration, more of a "clean it up and ride the heck out of it" job...just over 100 bux in it now.. ;-)
That is my intention. However, I live right smack in the middle of the redwoods in Northern CA (take Highway 101 North until you see a sign that says 'welcome to Oregon", turn around, go 15 miles, and here I am) and 75 inches of rain a year is quite normal. We do get days of clear weather throughout the rainy season, so, it won't just become garage art for the winter. Summertime, look out ;-)
