    Squier, by the looks of all the caked on dirt, I assumed the K-50
    used a lot of oil. 😆
    I may get my little electric power washer out tomorrow and see
    if I can blow some of the grime off.

    I finished up the magneto today. Not sure why one plug wire
    points forward, and the other aft, but that’s the only way the
    wire caps screw on. Hopefully I’ll understand when I put it all
    back together!
    It had rubber boots on the old plug wires. I presume it originally
    had the "fork" type terminal ends??

    Started cleaning up the flywheel, etc.

    Made some 14-24 puller bolts today for the old Johnsons. I hate
    using an irreplaceable rope plate for a puller, so I got the grade 8
    bolts, cuts the heads off, and threaded them for the flywheel.
    Hopefully I put them away where I find them for the next job!
