Having just finished my rebuild (well, it's never finished) I can say that you should definitely do yourself. Smithers' tutorials got me through it. There are enough of us on here now that have done...

I took 2 off since I had a spare engine so I practiced on the spare before I hit my real one. One of them was on there so tight that when it finally 'popped' the puller went jumping off onto the...

Before adjusting anything (since it otherwise runs fine and seems to go away once you ride it for a while?) When you start it, give it full choke and start it and just as soon as it fires off start...

If it is white and doesn't have an unusual smell (just fuel), it is probably just running a...

Coker sells whitewalls but I don't know the price. I also don't know if it shows up in their inventory online. You might have to call. I know someone who recently sold his CA95 with new whitewalls he...

Safety wire is better than duct tape! Well, maybe. Still, Smithers' advice is right on. This is how I clamped all my hoses until I found some good aircraft clamps to use. Hell, its how we clamp half...

You will need to take the coil off before the extractor will help you much. Take the bolts off that hold the coil on. There should be a few. One is a nut on a stud which I can see in your picture....

Before you search the timing problem too far, it probably isn't the timing. I would guess you have it right. I messed with the timing for 3 weeks only to find out that there was a wire out of place...

I just got out my service manual (I found it after doing my rebuild) and I have a picture showing that the official way of setting the timing marks is 'up'. The cam sprocket mark goes toward the top...

If memory serves, the magneto has 3 circular plates with the stacked magnetic plates sandwhiched in between. I think I got mine off by hooking onto a combination of these plates. That said, I bought...

An idea I kicked around for a while was to do like they do in the Model Ts. They are a 6 volt system also and there is a lot of literature on LED headlights for these things. Unfortunately many parts...

LEDing the bulbs is a good way to go, but make sure you check your own state's legislature if you plan on keeping it plated. Many states do not allow LED signal bulbs for antiquated reasons.

Mine has a flat spot. If it is in the flatspot I call it good. As for the ethanol, it is definitely a political issue. There isn't enough corn in the whole of the US every year to dent even 10% of...
