Shynon 7,435 #77 Posted February 28, 2016 Well been putting in a lot of hours at work so not much getting done. Ordered up some parts, new cables HL headlight switch, ignition switch, decals from Terry. Decided to build the 10hp kohler I got from Penn, so I blasted the block and got it primed up today. Tore apart a starter generator and blasted parts, it has one broken on the brush holder, I am going to order a new one, just wondering if anyone else has replace this? How did you rivet it back on? The clock is ticking and I don't want to be working on this the day before I load for Penn. I know I have time but before I know it it will be time. 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shynon 7,435 #82 Posted March 6, 2016 Pulled apart another starter generator and rebuilt it today, have been painting the engine block all week. Going to order engine parts this week then off to the machine shop. Need to do some more painting soon to finish it up, then some assembly required. 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
