I had a good day a while back when I made a new connecting rod for a old Aurora K-Mills .75cc engine I had bought way back in 1977. At the time the rod was bad, so it sat in its box all this time. But the new rod fixed the engine. It was fairly tight though and it is taking it a while to get run in to where it runs about like the others do.





Then there was the ugly K&B .65 Sportster engine experience where someone had made a new homemade crankcase for one. I had to do some finishing up work to get it ready to run and it is running OK now. I think the crankshaft bushing is still too tight fitting, but it is running though.



Then there was the great deal I got on a somewhat rare Suevia 1.50 engine. The carb was messed up from previous owners who didn't know how it worked. But I got lucky I was able to fix it.
