well i didn't get as far as i wanted. the starter i thought i had turned out to be a Kawasaki one, and i didn't have a wire grommet for the pickup wires.:banghead:
But i got my -3 pole in monday from gilgoneround. put that on, and got the motor together and bolted in. i need to pick up some heatshrink tubing from the autoparts store and get started on wiring up the electrical. while i'm waiting for my starter and grommet. i plan on pulling out the rickter knockoffs footholds. then redoing the rails in turf, maybe some paint. but i'm going to hold off on that till winter right now i just want to get it going while the weather is good.anybody have a steering cable bracket the one that bolts to the pole? i'm missing that too.
