[QUOTE="kirrbby, post: 184824, member: 3972"] Thanks for kudos on my videos. I like to hear that folks watch them now and again. I need to make some more of those...it's pretty fun stuff. Your flywheel looks VERY good to me. That little bit of rust on the magnets wont hurt anything. What you don't want is rust on that points cam...look at the stub that protrudes from the inside of the flywheel. It has a hole in the center where the crankshaft goes thru. Just outside of that is where the points "rubbing block" rides against the flywheel. The O.D. is NOT round...it actually has a high spot/lobe...it's a cam that pushes on the points rubbing block to open the points. THAT is where you worry about rust the most. Rough and rusty will always be wearing down the rubbing block and changing your points gap, basically wearing out your points. Your points cam looks pretty clean. The screw at the very topmost part of your last picture is the longer one. [/QUOTE]
