Re: 1930 Elto Speedster Compression Release?

[PM T2]

Your other comment leads me to advise you to put the Elto on a serious workstand or good motor stand prior to roping it through compression. Something with some weight to it is a necessity for working on bigger iron such as a Sr Speedtster.

Knowing how those motors are put together and how much weight you’re working with, its easy to imagine you pulling your workbench (with the motor) over on yourself trying to horse with that thing if its just clamped up in a vise.
