Learned how to use an ez out many times over. Turned 3 philips head bolts into flat heads. Fell in love with 6mm hex bolts. Removed my first head,valves and piston. Lapped my first valves and deglazed my first cylinder. Ordered a hardy valve spring compressor as there was no way I was gonna try the same technique to put the valve keepers back on as I got them off. Soda blasted and rebuilt the carb. Good progress thanks to this forum. Still not sure how it's possible to put the spark advancer on backwards but I'm sure I'll figure it out. Happy new year all. I hope life is treating you well. Ps. Gonna raft the Sandy River tomorrow morning on the foothills of Mt. Hood . Looking at 21 degrees in the morning. Great way to start the year!!!!
