Parts- Decals, spark plugs and spark plug wire, condensers,
are about all that is available as far as new parts. Someone
has reproduced the leather covered, wooden grip at one
time but recent contact (second hand to me) with that
individual reviled that there isn’t any available as this time.
If you can, make what you have unusable. Parts come from
other motors. There is a free classified ad section on this
website. Checking eBay, craigslist, and other internet sights
may produce a part or parts motor. There are also individual
who sell used parts.
Nothing was painted. Everything brass should be nickel
plated. Nuts, screws, bolts, prop nut, water pump, ect.,as well
as the copper fuel and water tubing.
Changing the spark plug wires.
First challenge is the remove the wire nuts.
They are easily broken and difficult to replace.
Second, you’ll find that where the wires connect to the coil is
sealed with Tar. A heat gun will soften the tar enough so that
you can remove the coil. Originally the connection is made
with springs inside glass tubes. Most people don’t notice those
parts were even in there as they get lost in the tar when removing
it. Kerosene works as well as anything to clean up the parts.
Picture shows how I connect the new wires. I don’t think too
many people replace the tar once its removed.
