im gona not be impatient and not order one from amazon to be here Wednesday. If i can walk into the electrical /starter place at on Emerson st and get a 5-20$ part to fix my starter since its in great shape other than broke gear, ill try that. if not i bet they stock one. wont make a second trip.
thought i was going to be slick and use some parts from the 48 chevy chassis, but it just wasnt going to work right and risk more flywheel damage.
gathered my propane bits, i have enough to run it short term on a grill tank. but need some fittings to go back to an actual liquid fork tank (which i sold my last one to wolfi not too long ago ha)
