Quick Bits

Replicating iconic cars of the past. Why innovate when you can copycate?

Love the first generation Bronco, ’67 Mustang, 240z, Land Rover Defender 90 (or any slab side Land Rover), etc. I understand they’ve been repopping Willys MB/Ford GPA bodies for a few decades now in the Philippines.

I adhere to the idea of severe longevity of a body style instead of that new tooling every 5 years B.S.. As long as the body is reasonably safe with modern crumple zones and all that jazz it’s good enough for me.

Any of yuuz guys ever messed with the v twins?

Not those twins Denny....

The best info I can get leads back to this site but Kartfab isn't around no mo.

I have. As in vertical shaft V Twins on riding mowers. Mostly older Briggs and by the time I get them they are all worn out blown gasket oil drippers.

Edit: I put horizontal and meant vertical shaft.

Have some experience with the Vanguard 479cc in my old Cub Cadet. And only done oil changes in the Water cooled Kawasaki in the JD LX188.

Ive got a hoda gx620.
Im missing part 10 of the compression release.
Any body know of a place to get the part?
Seems like the whole cam assembly is non existent. This has a 4 lobe where as the ones I see are a long 2 lobe style.

I bet you could get that from a local Honda motorcycle/powersports dealer - especially if you have the part number.

I went to the Honda parts site and found this. Looks like you can order it directly.

Honda Power Products Parts - Parts look up and information

The official parts look up site for Honda Power Equipment, Honda Marine, and Honda Engines. Search for parts for your Honda generator, lawn mower, tiller, trimmer, pump, snow blower, outboard, and small engine. Parts ordering is also available for Honda Engines.

I forgot, you're in New Mexico. Does Honda even exist there?

The closest motorsports store would be a little over an hour drive. Ive tried to get 530 chain from them and they said they didnt carry any. If your not buying a new SXS they dont care.
The next closest would be a little more than 2 hours. Or 2.5 hour drive in the other direction.
Im not joking about the 2 weeks from anywhere. Even online orders will not get here in a timely fashion. If you pay for overnight shipping it will be 2 or 3 days.
Hurry up and wait.

Living in the boonies has its challenges, but you can also go shooting from your porch, which rocks!

He doesn’t have to use rocks he can use guns!

Thats still a true statement. I have a slingshot.

And rocks.
Lots of rocks.
