Yeah, those are fantastic little motors. Probably the smoothest, most quiet, air cooled engine I have ever seen. I would hate to be the one to "pull the plug" on one, by parting it out. It has survived to this point. Who are we to decide that it dies now? I would at least take it all the way down and see what you’ve got inside. It’s a tiny little motor. It wouldn’t take long to check it out.

Long live American manufacturing!
