Ok new member here.
I just picked this up from a buddy along with a big box of parts. He has an extra engine somewhere, but we couldn't find it in the "shop" today.
It is in good shape overall. The motor turns free, but won't start. Lots of reasons it shouldn't.
I did find one thing that I hope you guys can help with.
The exhaust manifold is missing and I notice there is a "notch" in the cylinder where it bolts up. First I thought it was a break, but looking at it I now think it could actually be machined that way. There is no rough edges like a normal break in the cast cylinder.
I have attached a picture of the bike and the notch in question.
Looking forward to restoring this with my kids (8 and 10) so we can all enjoy riding in for many years.
