Finally after 3-4 years sitting in the shop, I got started on it last night and got it put back together pretty fast.

Pics are not the best it was on my phone.

It was probably 3-4 hours. It was already striped apart and sitting there for the years. So i cleaned everything up put new piston in and gasket set.

Well, I just got back from the shop. I got the stator on and the bolts all torqued. Funny thing is I thought I needed the tool to time the son ofa gun, but lucky I found 2-3 marks that lined up exact so I am happy. Just need to run to Napa Monday and get a key.

I got the flywheel and recoil back on tonight. Checked for spark and is good. Lets just say that she'll be seeing snow shortly.
