Got my Eagle almost disassembled and Fred T. sez he will help sandblast it .... gotta figure out how to protect the parts that don't need sand in them....
chuck.it sounds like your trying to get out of some work .take that scooter all the way apart before you blast it.the best thing to use for areas that you ...
Chuck, I've converted my seat to springs as you suggested. You can either run the springs to the tabs on the frame which makes them curve outward a little bit...
do the extra disasembly now cause you will probably get sand in places you wouldn't imagine and have to disasemble it all the way later and find a real mess. i...
Well I don't want Fred to work too hard --- you mean I have to take the fork off the frame, disassemble those fork tubes? Everything is exposed while the fork...
There are two different 'strengths' of springs for the seat. The non-heavy duty ones might sit lower. What I found using the heavy duty springs is that after...
Hi gang. Chuck, do as others have said and take everything off that scooter that will come off. It is much more difficult to try and get the sand out of...
Hi gang. My advice is to go try to sit on that scooter again. Since the holidays season is winding down, you might find you have eaten enough to even out the...
The block and tranny are clean, but oily - thought I would blast them off with starting fluid ....ether.... that stuff works good for degreasing and dries...
get some god old gunk engine degreaser and brush it on the engine and tranny being sure to loosen up all the built up oil and dirt then hose it off. it may...
chuck, .050 should be okay with a stock lift cam.i usually mill .040 off.i made a special fixture to set the head on that supports the head by the machined ...
Thanks for the Information I have been into the twin OMC but never the single I will file the information away for future use.Thanks to John also I would not...

This is one place where you don't want to get sloppy. Balance weights don't come off too often, but when they do, you wind up "lunching" the whole engine case...
I was stuck down in the country without cable TV or internet access, so I spent my time studying my Cushman books. They didn't answer all of questions, so I...
Alright - I took the top of the fork apart - figured out that you have to pull the springs out to get the dash off .... what a greasy mess....then nobody told...
A '"split single"may be the Twingle that Puch (allstate) made.Two pistons in one cylinder casting,side by side,and fed by one carb.Two cycle and oil injected.I...
OK Howard...here is what you want...Cushman stopped putting Husky engines in their scooters when they stopped producing scooters...early 1965 (5hp).......
Hi gang. Chuck, I assume you aren't having that fork assembly blasted with the tube assembly still together and boots still on. If you do, that sand will...
my calendar says it's jan 3. but it was in the low 70's here in the n.c. mtns. i rode my scooter about 10 miles jan 1 and about 25 or so today, even talked the...
chuck , if you have the fork springs out just slip the boots off and the lower sliders will slide out .than you can clean them,paint ,and put new grease in ...
Howard, I can't really help you with any of this but, re. the French Bernardet scooter, you should remember that the French were the ones who thought it would...
Chuck, One little trick while you've got the front tubes apart: you can get a couple of chrome pipes for under a sink and cut them to fit over the bottom part...
Neat -- I assume that would be the part showing above the boot - so will the boot fit over the chrome pipe? or butt up to the end of the pipe? Guess it would...
Hi Chuck, you are going to be alot better off taking the front forks completely apart. When I done mine I bought some small wire brushes, they usually come 3...
Bob, I remember those. Five cylinder radials, I think. Seems like the early models were three cylinders. The idea was that block and cylinders served as a...
... can get a ... the bottom ... tape around ... chrome ... You've been listening to those Frenchmen again, Bob. Howard ... sandblasted ... not ... red-...
