| Title: Put engine back together | Hours: 3 Cost: $0.00 |
| Work Descrption: Took a long time to put the engine back together... Most difficult 2 stroke I have ever worked on... Needle bearings on wrist pin are free, had to make steel pin to hold in place, then pushed wrist pin through.. Also 3 rings per piston.... Got it together... Had to machine a new wrist pin bushing out of a tractor wrist pin. Used tool post grinder on lathe to do the job, then surface grinder for final width finishing. |

| Title: Got it running | Hours: 2 Cost: $0.00 |
| Work Descrption: Used a 6 volt battery to test electrical, most of it worked, ignition switch worked the lights but not the ignition system... Hot wired coils and it started! Runs ok considering con-rod is not great on right cylinder. Smoked, oil left over from soaking. A good day. |
