    It's Alive!

    Hi, All

    Thanks to no small amount of input from several here, my 54 Servi Car is back up and running. Lower end, cylinder boring, and valve job done by a pro, but I did the final engine assembly myself, and rebuilt the transmission and carb.

    Starts on one or two kicks, runs strong, doesn't leak or make any weird noises, and just needs a few tweaks to get it fully dialed in.

    Previous owner had painted some of the trim black, but I just left it, as this was a "refurbish and refresh" rather than a restoration.

    It's a hoot to tool around on.

    Thanks again to all who contributed!

    John

    Good job, John. As you well know, the devil is in the details, but that can also be where the fun is. Glad you can ride your trike now and that is where the reward comes in.
