The headlight conversion, is pretty easy and takes less than an hour when you have the parts; I got the bulb and socket off of amazon for under 10 bucks total.

I need to change the oil, I haven't changed it since the rebuild. I'm pretty sure that's why it's smoking some, besides sitting so long between starts, I did get some oil into one of the headers too.

If it keeps it up, after a bit I am going back into the motor and replacing the O-ring around the knock pin and checking the guides...the one in my gasket kit was black and not fuel and oil resistant like it should have been, and it's been bugging me. I'll probably get new valves then too, I decided to lap the old ones since they were in spec...one of the should have done things in the build, but didn't because of rushing before a move.

It's fun flying around the yard dodging holes, limbs and trees. My new tag and registration should be here when I get back in the middle of June.
