Ron,

It's good to hear from you again.

Chuck's new reduction drive, and starter looks REALLY nice, but I'd have to start all over if I went that way. I'm too far along in my slow progress for that.

Ron if you ever need brushes I have spares. I ordered some online and had to buy a few sets to meet minimum order for the site.

On your hard starting, has it always started hard after it was warm? Mine had hard starts when warm this after a year or so of running and my magneto gave out. It always starts very easy now since I put in a new magneto.

I'm going to switch to the new starter setup when funds are available or if there is anything left after the bathroom remodel. My str/gen has died a terrible death. I had been running mine with the brush covers off.
