I’ve finally found the time to assemble the Gila + Polini cases engine and with a little bit of this…
this case should be sealed up tight!
I wanted to use the Polini spring that came with the cases but I’m sans the hardware to mount to the case. I cut up an old 103 engine mount and created a mount myself. It ended up looking pretty good but I have no idea if it’s putting this mount in the correct location. I’ll have to see when I get out to the garage…I’m guessing it’s a tad off…hmm
I’ve never used a launch level but it sounds like fun and it comes with the case so what the hell!
Next up add my trusty Multivar and the old 2 coil points. I’ve heard horror stories about these points but I’ve never had a problem (other than some flywheel slipping) so I’m going to run these until they self-destruct.
I have to get better lighting in my work space. These pics are a bit dark…sorry about that
At the garage it quickly became apparent that the Polini spring is not going to work (crap) I was so ticked off that I forgot to take a pic of the mess…I need to look at some cases to see how the spring fitting/exhaust mount fits/looks so I can copy a set. Until then then the launch lever is coming off and the old Doppler spring is going back on…I have another lever somewhere that might work…I just need to remember where I put it…
I can wait on the launch lever so I decided to button this project up!
Gave the moped a push an it started right up. It’s still a bit rich (95 jet) but its still pretty cold here in NYC so I’ll leave it alone until April.
Bring it Spring! I’m ready!!!
