Bought ignition switch and Petcock rebuild kit from Z-1 Enterprises this week.

Reminds me of funny story..

The first time i told my wife I had Petcock trouble, I must have had to explain it three times....

:laugh: Went to see my good freind Ed today.

We were on our way to a very productive day of brainstorming and machining.

Then we opened the 12 year old scotch.

The day then turned into a very productive day of brainstorming.....and sipping of the scotch.

Ahh yes a very productive day indeed.

Well back to Ed's last Friday...

This time we got smarter about things, I think they call it "process Engineering" Continous improvement, LEan Manufacturing, verticle intigration, A Kaizon, we 5s'd the shop, a root cause investigation.

Basically we did some machining FIRST.... then sipped the scotch in the nevada sunshine. Ahhhh....I see ...after the work is done, then sip of the scotch!!B)

SO I had to remove a bunch of the countershaft cover to clear the chain.

Plummen, I must ask. Did you see that pic of the C/S cover and say to yourself "Why, I have the perfect picture to respond to that"? or is that out of the Random Pic folder?:lol:
