I'll bet you made good use of it over the years! Looks very useful for many things.

Almost as often as my Mexican and Swedish mills, Duke...

PS: Back to your pre-War M51 project,

It is indeed a sweet one, but necessarily 'rebuilt' (at least once), in modern times.

Are you using a camera/desktop for pics, or a phone? (Please convert .png pics to.jpg so we can view them full size, if you can.)

I tried to enhance the pictures. Hope this helps.

Cotten,

I'm using my cell phone. In my years of service and Industry work, I've been terrible about taking photos never less any quality knowledge of photography.

The owner asked to come by today while I adjusted valves, compression tested the cylinders, leak tested the cylinders, leak tested the intake system, properly set point gap and ignition timing and install the carburetor.

He had a lot of questions even though he's been riding these for over 45 years. Questions are good! I feel a better educated owner is a happier owner.

It was a fun day overall. The high light of the day was starting this motorcycle for the first time after sitting for many years.
He asked me to do the honors, which I was grateful for.
He witnessed two prime kicks and then it starting on the 1st kick. Honestly not sure what was better for me, his smile of excitement or running this preserved piece of history.

Fun Day!

What did you use as a starting point for the throttle disc Duke? As in, '2 turns of the throttle stop screw to give enough air gap at the disc' or something like that?
