It has been a busy fall keeping all of our owners and dealers in parts, accessories, and Tech help. The old shop Electra has been sitting there and occasionally canabalized for parts to fix an emergency.
It is not fully back together, still missing the seat, license plate holder, side covers, decor covers, headlight, etc. but I kicked it over and it started on the second kick. It has great compression. And, it sounds wonderful . The vibration level with the heavier piston seems close to the original. It's certainly not excessive.
The pipe is starting to turn a little blue so I'll need to check the mix and re-jet before I take it around the parking lot. (Remember, It might warm all the way up to 40 degrees Farenheight today). I really would like to get some miles on it and some break in befoer taking it over for a dyno test.
I took the time to paint the cylinder black to see what it would look like. It is a little short of where it would look like the Bullet Iron Cylinder, but does improve the appearance some. One could mask off the lower two fins on the head and paint them as well.
